Applicants will also be charged a non-refundable license fee of Rs 50,000 per hour or part thereof, subject to a maximum of Rs 60,000 per day plus taxes.
In addition to the license fee, BMRCL also collects a fee of Rs 20,000 per hour for the use of vehicles or wagons (vehicles). Rail buses can only be used after normal operating hours.
BMRCL will also scrutinize detailed shooting programs as well as detailed scripts related to feature films, documentary films or sequences of productions related to BMRCL premises and trains.
According to BMRCL officials, special approval will be required for drone photography near stations, railway tracks, and above trains, and the fee will be increased by 25% from the regular fee.
As part of the concession, prices for Kannada films will be reduced by 25% from the recommended tariff. On the other hand, prices for foreign films are lower by one order of magnitude, but in US dollars. For example, if the license fee for an Indian film is 50,000 rupees, the license fee for a foreign film will be 5,000 USD.
