DMCRC is the self-regulatory body for video streaming platforms that will fall under IBDF. The self-regulatory body has been formed as per the mandate of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, brought out by the government this February. This industry-led self-regulatory body (SRB) for digital OTT platforms is a second-tier mechanism at the appellate level, similar to Broadcast Content Complaint Council (BCCC). This is the second self-regulatory body of OTT firms to address content-related complaints.
