Thanks to @PraveenonTweet for bringing it to my notice.
High high high time that this has happened. And hope the musicians will unite for the collective rights - be it of the composer/singer/musicians/lyricists.

You are welcome Chinmayee. Yes its high time. The titans have to roll the sleeves first.
good luck
May be you can leave the link I shared on your post Chinmayee?
Good initiative...I hope it gets through without any issues.
Hello Chinmayi, Royalty to playback singers is an old issue yet to be settled. if you are aware, this issue caused a rift between Lataji and Rafi saab in the sixties. In malayalam industry there has been a trend for the last few years in not paying singers for their film work. The logic by some of the modern day composers is that the singer can earn subsequently by doing shows utilising the songs rendeed by them.For not towing this line a reat singer like Chitra cools off her heels in reality shows. The IPRS consists only of composers and lyricists -the singers cant expect a fair deal here.

Very nice..............
Perfect blow through PSL .... When cricket players are paid in tonnes for their half hour game once in a month, I would definitely go for paying royalty to talented singers FOR WHOM, ROYALTY IS PAID FOR THEIR TALENTS.

Hi chin...
i see only in India the Director/producer owns the copyright of the song...
But as far as the issue is concerned, the credit goes to both the composer as well as the singers. 50-50!!
