IPRS (Indian Performing Right Society Limited)

The Indian Performing Right Society Limited (IPRS) is the sole registered copyright society in India representing owners of musical works, including composers, lyricists, and their publishers. IPRS manages the performing rights of its members, issuing licenses to any entity that plays music publicly. After a period of administrative changes, IPRS has re-established itself as the central authority for collecting and distributing performance royalties, vital for the massive and diverse Indian music industry.
