Important Message

The Elephant owner should submit the Elephant documents, viz., Movement Register, Feeding Register, Disease and Treatment Record, Vaccination Record, Work Register containing the name of the Elephant and the Microchip number on all the pages.

Puppies below the age of three months will not be permitted as performing animals, as they can be easily infected by various diseases. The puppy should mandatorily be administered the Anti-Rabies vaccine after completion of three months.

The AWBI only accepts the application of PSP & NOC, which are received directly from the producer/production company/authorized person on behalf of the Production Company. The Board has no “Agent”, “Middleman”, "Broker", or “Authorized person” in any place, and all persons posing as such are impostors.

All the producers are informed that AWBI, henceforth, will not consider any direct NOC without obtaining pre-shoot permission, except for the Background Scene and Computer Graphics Scene. Stock Shots and Foreign Shoot.

The applicant has to submit the dog/cat vaccination record (clearly visible) along with the Pre-Shoot Permission.

The Owner has to submit a self-declaration regarding the transportation of animals stating that no cruelty was inflicted on animals during transportation, along with the photographs of the animals while loading, unloading, and during transportation.
