Abstract
The OTT platforms are now in trend in India. During the covid 19 lockdown, when all the source of entertainment was banned, at that point of time the OTT platforms get opportunity to become more popular. As a result of such lockdown in our country, it expanded its market more than any broadcasting agencies. But the rights of freedom of speech and expression also has some restriction in it. Thus, the OTT platforms should also come under the same restrictions. The lack of regulation policies with reference to these OTT industries, have made it more liberal towards the content. The time has arrived when we should seriously think about the lacunas prevailing in the existing rules and regulations for such platforms.
