Most Indian MSMEs assume this category is only for movies released in cinemas. Indian copyright law defines it far more broadly – any work of visual recording with accompanying sound qualifies.
Traditional theatrical or independent films of any length.
Streaming-native productions are fully covered under the same law.
Advertisements, brand films, and corporate videos qualify too.
Any completed visual recording with sound is eligible for registration.
This is the one thing every producer needs to understand before assuming registration alone settles ownership.
As the producer, you are deemed the first owner of copyright in the film as a whole – the finished visual recording. But Section 13(4) makes something equally important clear: registering the film's copyright does not affect the separate copyright in the underlying works incorporated into it. The script, the music, and the lyrics remain independently owned by their original writer, composer, or lyricist, unless they've been validly assigned to you. Registering your film protects the film – it does not, by itself, transfer ownership of what went into making it.
As producer, you're the first owner of the finished visual recording, as a whole.
These stay with their original authors unless you have a proper written assignment.
A useful, lesser-known detail: even after a composer or lyricist assigns their rights to you, a 2012 amendment gives them a non-waivable statutory right to equal royalty for certain non-theatrical uses of their work – worth knowing if you're negotiating these agreements.
Tick each statement that's true for you to see where you stand.
This is a self-assessment to help you think it through – not a formal legal opinion.
One Complete Plan, one transparent fee – the same price regardless of applicant type.
The price you pay today is the price you pay. If an objection or discrepancy letter arises on this application, it's handled within your existing fee – no stage-wise add-on, ever. This guarantee covers your fee; it does not guarantee registration will be granted, as that decision rests with the Registry.
Our pricing is simple and honest. Our one-time, all-inclusive fee is the only fee you will ever pay for every step in the package.
Most online providers lure buyers with a low entry fee, but once objections, responses, and mandatory procedure steps are added, the total cost often climbs well beyond the advertised price in the majority of cases.
Initial payment plans often leave out attorney-led case management, forcing you to pay extra, step by step, for essential legal procedures ahead.
A single, transparent ₹18,900 one-time payment – no hidden charges, no future surprises.
Your registration is managed end-to-end by our expert process management team together with the attorney you authorise, at a transparent price that is often lower than what others ultimately charge.
