The ban triggered a storm of protest in India, and many people welcomed NDTV's move.
"Well done NDTV for deciding to go off air for one hour ... Very innovative and powerful," Rifat Jawaid tweeted.
"Wish I could post a blank tweet in solidarity with NDTV's protest," tweeted Tushar Gandhi, the great grandson of India's independence hero Mahatma Gandhi.
"India's Daughter", by award-winning British filmmaker Leslee Udwin, was due to be shown in seven countries including India and Britain on Sunday.
The BBC brought forward its showing of the film to Wednesday after India announced its ban, citing intense public interest.
The father of the victim, who died of injuries sustained during the shocking attack in 2012, has said everyone should watch the documentary, which showed "the bitter truth" about attitudes to women in India.
Officials at the jail where Mukesh Singh is being held said they had asked the BBC not to show the documentary, claiming Ms Udwin had violated the terms of the agreement allowing her to interview the prisoner.
But Ms Udwin said on Monday she had complied fully with the agreement.
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a vocal champion of women's rights in India, has so far made no comment on the row.
On Sunday he urged an end to all forms of discrimination against women, tweeting that "our heads hang in shame when we hear of instances of crime against women".
Also on Sunday, Indian police arrested 22 people over last week's storming of a high security prison in the northeast of the country and subsequent lynching of a rape suspect.
Several thousand people in restive Nagaland state attacked the prison to drag out a rape suspect, beat him to death and tied the body to a clock tower on Thursday, forcing authorities to impose a curfew to restore order.
"Twenty-two people have been arrested for rioting and attacking the prison complex," state's top police officer L.L. Doungel told Reuters.
The lynching followed an outpouring of anger in India over violence against women, and coincided with controversy over thee government order to ban the broadcasting of the BBC documentary.
Muslims in Nagaland and the neighbouring state of Assam protested against the lynching on Saturday and authorities put a freeze on internet and SMS phone messaging services after videos of the attack surfaced.
Police said they were struggling to identify people directly involved in the murder of Syed Farid Khan, 35, who had been accused of raping a 19-year-old Naga tribal woman multiple times.
Khan's brother linked the murder to ethnic tensions within Nagaland, whose indigenous groups have for decades accused a growing number of Muslim migrants from Bangladesh of illegally grabbing their fertile land.
