The Recorded Music Performance Ltd. (RMPL) is authorised and exclusively controls public performance rights and radio broadcasting rights (sound recordings) of our member companies, including both non-film and film songs of its members, who are music labels. All licences granted and issued by RMPL are conditional, non-exclusive and for a limited period and purpose.

There is no transfer of effective title, control, custody or possession or ‘right to use’ of copyrights, which vests solely with the owner.

RMPL functions as a “single window” to users. The user is saved the trouble of locating and negotiating with the individual owner, his heir etc.; and vice versa. RMPL distributes away the royalty earnings, after deducting its actual administrative and running costs.

Public Performance Licence(Background music) – One needs to obtain this licence for playing/communicating sound recordings in commercial establishments /public environments (i.e. excluding domestic homes and private vehicles) — in the background. A shopping mall or hotel which has obtained a “background music” licence needs to take a separate licence for its salon, restaurant, lounge bar, spa, discotheque, shops, etc. A licence taken for “Background music” does not entitle the licensee to exploit the licensed sound recordings in an event or stage or dance-floor or show or concert, etc., for which a separate/additional “Events” licence is required to be taken (see here below).

Public Performance Licence for Events – One needs to obtain this Licence for playing sound-recordings recordings in an event or stage or dance-floor or show or concert, etc. where performers perform on stage or a designated area. Also, a hotel or shopping mall or banquet-hall or discotheque or ball-room which has obtained a mere “background music” licence needs to obtain a separate licence for any Event (including shows, fashion shows, promotions, sports events, DJ parties, etc.) held in its premises.

FAQs

Q What is the role of RMPL in music licensing?

RMPL (Recorded Music Performance Ltd.) is authorized to control public performance rights and radio broadcasting rights for sound recordings of its member music labels. It acts as a "single window" for users to obtain licenses for public use of music, handling negotiations and distributing royalties to copyright owners after deducting administrative costs.

Q What licenses are required for playing background music in public or commercial spaces?

A Public Performance License for Background Music is required for playing or communicating sound recordings in public or commercial establishments such as shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, and bars. However, if an event is hosted in these establishments (such as a DJ party, concert, or show), a separate Events License is required in addition to the background music license.

Q Do I need a separate license for playing music at events?

Yes, you need a Public Performance License for Events to play sound recordings at events, including stage shows, fashion shows, DJ parties, and concerts. If your establishment, like a hotel or shopping mall, has a background music license, you still need a separate license for any events held on the premises.
