IPRS
The Indian Performing Right Society
The performance rights organization responsible for collecting royalties in India.
About IPRS
IPRS is India's collective management organization for songwriters, composers, and music publishers. India represents one of the most exciting growth markets for music globally, with streaming adoption accelerating rapidly across its 1.4 billion population.
India's music market is dominated by Bollywood film music but also includes growing independent music scenes, devotional music, and regional language music across dozens of languages. Streaming services like JioSaavn, Gaana, and Spotify India have driven massive consumption growth.
IPRS has undergone significant modernization in recent years, improving its registration systems, monitoring capabilities, and international relationships to better serve the growing market.
How IPRS works
Indian Market Coverage
IPRS licenses public performances of music across India — one of the most rapidly growing music markets in the world.
Bollywood Dominance
Bollywood film music represents a massive portion of Indian music consumption. IPRS collects royalties when these compositions are performed publicly.
Streaming Explosion
With over 200 million streaming subscribers and growing, India's digital music market is generating increasingly significant royalties.
International Routing
IPRS routes royalties for international rights holders through reciprocal agreements with foreign societies.
Why IPRS matters for songwriters
India is served by IPRS for performance rights organization royalties. Without direct registration, international songwriters rely on reciprocal agreements — which typically add 12–24 months of delay before royalties reach you.
Frequently asked questions about IPRS
