Both the newly updated CBFC website and the new mobile app are designed to be user-friendly for both candidates and CBFC employees to use at their desks and on mobile devices to learn, find useful information, and complete simpler tasks.

The updated FAQs, a Help Desk, Contacts, a user guide, a video tutorial on registration, an application process, real-time progress tracking, and a search facility are some of the new features of the CBFC website that offer a more thorough understanding of film certification, various Acts, Rules, Important Circulars/communications, Court Judgements, and statistical data on certified films to the applicants.
