Police License |
Most
states require that an entertainment center
should possess a police license for the premises.
If tickets are sold at the premises a separate
license from the police is required.
The
process for granting a police license varies
from place to place for eg. In Thane (Mumbai)
Collector sends police department the license
application. Police checks the premises and
facilities like parking etc then gives an
NOC to Collector.

| Entertainment Tax |
| Entertainment
tax is a thorny issue for Family Recreation
centers in many states of India. Ten-pin Bowling
is a sport. Frequent change in the tax laws
and hikes in entertainment tax have caused
many centers to close down.
Problems
are compounded by the fact that every state
has got its own set of laws and tariffs.
During committee meetings of the various
associations, entertainment tax discussions
occupy a major portion of the time available
leaving very less time to discuss improvement
of the industry.
It
is important to understand the mechanism
by which entertainment tax is levied. There
are many factors to take care of . For example:
In some cities if you have a dance floor
then regardless of if you are using it or
not, you have to pay a certain amount every
month.
Entertainment tax decisions are taken by
the cabinet not by any single official.
Usually Revenue Minister and Chief Minister
are involved through the cabinet. |
