Setting someone else’s song as your caller tune takes one tap. Getting YOUR OWN song into the caller-tune catalog is a different process — here it is, start to finish.
Search for “caller tune kaise set kare” and you will find hundreds of guides explaining how to subscribe to a tune from your telecom app. This page answers the other question — the one artists actually ask: how do I get my own song into that catalog so anyone in India can set it as their caller tune?

Your own song can only enter the caller-tune catalog through a licensed distributor. Upload the track with Video Generation, select CRBT distribution and mark your hook — we submit it to Jio, Airtel, Vi and BSNL, and it typically goes live in 6-14 business days.
No. CRBT submission to all four Indian networks is handled together with your distribution — there is no separate per-network charge from us. Telecom subscription pricing for listeners is set by the operators.
Yes. You select the segment, usually a 20-30 second hook or chorus. A strong hook directly improves how many callers subscribe to your tune.
It depends entirely on how many listeners subscribe and for how long, so no fixed figure can be promised. Earnings appear in your monthly royalty report alongside streaming revenue.
The most common reasons are low audio quality, metadata that does not match your streaming release, restricted content inside the selected clip, missing cover-song licensing, or a clip outside the operator length limit.
