Dear Member,
Royalties encourage creativity and helps to support creators in their creative journey. It ensures a source of income for them when they are creating and also when they aren’t. Royalties are the rightful dues of songwriters and composers, and we value the same.
As your copyright society, we have left no stone unturned to get your due royalties and we urge you to take all necessary steps to ensure that you do not miss your rightful dues.
Completing the nomination process is one such important step from your end. We urge our Members to fulfill the nomination process and submit the nominee details during their lifetime to ensure that their legal heirs continue to receive royalties without any glitches or delay. In the absence of the nominee details, the legalities involved in enrolling a legal heir member can get cumbersome and time-consuming in India. As per the existing law, to enrol as a legal heir member, the applicant needs to comply with the Probate laws /Succession laws.
However, in the case of a nominee, the nominee/s are empowered to hold and receive all royalties, past, present, and future, in the case of the death of the member.
Please click the link : https://iprs.org/wp-content/uploads/Nominee-Form-070621.pdf to download the form and submit your nominee details.
We request you to complete your nomination process if you haven’t already done it. For any query, write to us at membership@iprs.org
Happy to help!
Best regards,
IPRS Team
