Three Separate Charges — Understand Before You Pay

Your total copyright cost involves three completely separate charges. The Platform Fee is only one of them.


✓ Platform Fee
₹2,250
Paid to the Platform for administrative facilitation and Lawyer coordination. Non-refundable once service commences.
+ Lawyer’s Professional Fee
Separate
Charged by the independent Lawyer for copyright consultation, filing, and related legal services. Payable directly to the Lawyer.
+ Government / Copyright Office Fee
Separate
Statutory fee payable to the Copyright Office at the time of filing. Determined by the category of work and number of works filed.
Not a Government Service: CopyrightCounselIndia.org is not affiliated with the Copyright Office, the Registrar of Copyrights, DPIIT, or any government authority. Submission of a request form on this Platform is not a copyright application filing. All legal filings are made by the independent Lawyer in his/her professional capacity.

What Is CopyrightCounselIndia.org?

A private platform that connects you with independent copyright Lawyers — handling the administrative coordination so you can focus on your creative work.


CopyrightCounselIndia.org is a private administrative facilitation and case-management platform. We connect authors, artists, musicians, software developers, publishers, businesses, and startups with independent, empanelled copyright Lawyers who advise on and assist with copyright matters in their own professional capacity.

We are not a law firm and our team does not provide legal advice. Our role is limited to administrative coordination, scheduling, document organisation, and communication facilitation — all at the User’s explicit request.

  • Literary, artistic, musical, dramatic, sound recording, cinematograph film and software works
  • Applicant, author and work-detail collection for Lawyer’s use
  • Work-category identification guidance (informational — verified by the Lawyer)
  • Document organisation and scheduling coordination with the Lawyer
  • Application status communication based on information shared by the Lawyer
Note: Copyright examination, the mandatory waiting period for objections, discrepancy letters, hearings, and final registration are controlled entirely by the Copyright Office under the Copyright Act, 1957 and the Copyright Rules, 2013, and are beyond the Platform’s control. No result or fixed timeline is guaranteed.
Copyright registration process overview
How the Platform Works
You submit a request → we coordinate with an independent Lawyer → the Lawyer advises and handles filing in his/her professional capacity.
A confirmation email dispatched to your registered email address constitutes commencement of our administrative services. Lawyer’s professional fee, Government/Copyright Office filing fee, discrepancy replies, objection hearings, NOC drafting, amendments, additional works, and other legal services are separate and not included in the Platform Fee.

Submit Your Request

Fill in the information form with your work details, applicant information, and contact details. This form is an administrative tool and is not a copyright application or government filing.

Lawyer Coordination

An available independent Lawyer empanelled on the Platform is coordinated to contact you via your registered email and phone to advise on work category, documents, and next steps.

Your Approval & Filing

You review and approve all application details — title of work, category, author, applicant name — before the Lawyer files. No application is filed without your approval.

Acknowledgement & Support

Once the application is filed, the diary number or filing acknowledgement is shared with you. Administrative status communication is provided based on updates from the Lawyer.
