Paper first

Filming permits in North India.

Location permissions, police, ASI monuments, forest and drone clearances — sequenced so the call sheet is legal. We do not handle visas.

Streets & traffic

Police and municipal

Delhi, Jaipur, Chandigarh and hill towns each have their own window and fee. Lock-ups, night shoots and stills are different applications. We file locally.

Monuments

ASI and state archaeology

Protected forts, tombs and palaces need Archaeological Survey of India or state archaeology on top of city police. Drone over a monument is often refused — we say so before you storyboard it.

Aerial

DGCA drone rules

Registered drone, licensed pilot, airspace and local police. Border, airport and military zones in J&K, Ladakh and parts of Rajasthan need extra lead time.

Hills & forest

Forest and wildlife

Himachal, Uttarakhand and parts of Rajasthan sit on forest land. Rest houses and park edges are slower than town police. We put it on the calendar.

How long do location permits take?

City police: days to a couple of weeks. ASI monuments: plan weeks. High-altitude and border districts: longer. Send the date and we reverse-plan.

How do I get a shooting permission in Chandigarh or Punjab?

City police and municipal applications are filed locally. We map the authority, fee and lead time from the Chandigarh / Mohali desk before the recce.

Do you handle visas?

No. We handle location permissions, police, ASI, forest and drone paper. Immigration and visas sit with the producer and their counsel.
