Permits are generally not difficult to obtain as long as local customs and traditions are respected. Laws governing filming have many clauses that can be used to shut down a shoot making it impossible for foreign producers to exercise complete control over any production so a patient approach is required. India is made up of several powerful states that have their own practices alongside the central government bureaucracy so hiring a well connected local producer / fixer definitely helps. Filming in the Himalayas, for instance, requires several layers of permitting.

India is a signatory to the Berne Convention on copyright. However, it may be a good idea to register your copyright as doing so may help to prove ownership if there are criminal proceedings against infringers. In most cases though, registration is not necessary to maintain a copyright infringement claim in India. Registration is made, in person or via a representative, with the Copyright Office. Internet piracy of films, music, books and software is an issue in India.

Health Insurance and MedicalIndia has a national health service, but this does not include free medical care for the whole population. The Employees’ State Insurance Act creates a fund to provide medical care to the employees and their families, as well as cash benefits during sickness and maternity, and monthly payments in case of death or disablement for those working in factories and establishments with 10 or more employees. In case of sick leave, the employer will pay half salary to the employees covered under the Employee’s State Insurance Act.
