Apna Gana Caller Tune Kaise Banaye

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?

Requirements before you submit

  • Master audio — WAV or FLAC. Phone recordings and low-bitrate MP3s get rejected at content review.
  • Clean content — abusive or restricted lyrics in the selected clip cause instant rejection.
  • Rights — you must own or control the recording. Cover songs need documented licensing.
  • The hook — pick a 20-30 second segment, usually the chorus. This is what decides whether a caller subscribes.
  • Correct metadata — title and artist spelling must match your streaming release.

  • Low-quality or compressed audio
  • Artist/title mismatch with the streaming release
  • Restricted words inside the chosen clip
  • Missing licensing for a cover version

Frequently Asked Questions

Apna gana caller tune kaise banaye?

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.

Is there a charge for each network?

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.

Can I choose which part of the song becomes the caller tune?

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.

How much can a caller tune earn?

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.

Why was my caller tune rejected?

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.
