According to reliable sources within the event management and hospitality industries, NOVEX NOC songs are now highly sought after for corporate entertainment parties and marriage celebrations, including sangeets, bachelor parties, and cocktail parties.

NOVEX’s extensive library, featuring renowned music labels like Yash Raj Music, Zee Music, and TIPS Music, has become a favorite among DJs at Corporate and Social events.

A significant trend observed lately is that event managers and wedding planners prioritize obtaining the necessary NOVEX NOC before utilizing these popular tracks.

This development marks a significant milestone in advancing India’s Musical Copyright Act, demonstrating robust support for the Bollywood music industry.

The Novex Musical Copyright License for marriages is a pressing topic, especially with Indian weddings becoming increasingly lavish.

Recently, the Indian government released a public notice putting their July 24, 2023, notice into abeyance, which stated musical copyright licenses weren’t required for wedding events.

However, Novex successfully appealed this decision before the Punjab and Haryana High Court, leading to the government’s revised public notice.

Social events, including:

* Wedding-bachelor parties

* Sangeets

* Cocktail parties

* Mehendi ceremonies

Require careful scrutiny by NOVEX’s Copyright License team.

To play copyrighted music, hotels and event management companies must obtain permission or a license from NOVEX.

Playing copyrighted songs or music without Novex NOC is prohibited.

In an interview with renowned Event and Film trade analyst Rajeev Chaudhari, Pratik Gandhi ( Legal Advisor of NOVEX COMMUNICATIONS P. LTD )shed light on the significance of Novex NOC for corporate and social events.

Gandhi emphasized, “It is imperative for event organizers to obtain a Novex NOC when utilizing Novex-licensed music at their events.

Gandhi stressed that obtaining Novex NOC is crucial for compliance with India’s Musical Copyright Act, demonstrating support for the Bollywood music industry.

The interview highlighted the importance of Novex NOC for:

* Corporate events

* Social events (weddings, sangeets, bachelor parties, etc.)

Event organizers must secure Novex NOC to legally play copyrighted music.

Rajeev Chaudhari’s insightful conversation with Pratik Gandhi provides valuable guidance for the events industry.
