General19864 sections

The Cinematograph (Goa, Daman and Diu Amendment) Act, 1986 modifies existing cinema legislation to regulate movie ticket sales and outlaw ticket scalping. It grants local licensing authorities and the state government the power to establish rules governing how cinema tickets and admission passes are sold. The law explicitly prohibits individuals from reselling movie tickets for profit, making ticket scalping a criminal offense. Offenders face fines between two hundred and five hundred rupees or up to three months of simple imprisonment for non-payment. This law protects moviegoers from black-market price gouging and ensures fair public access to cinema screenings.
