Getting Started

Is Indian Manga free to use?

Yes. You can browse and read all free chapters without an account. Creating an account is free and gives you access to your library, bookmarks, likes, and comments.

Is it free to start publishing?

Yes. Creating a creator account and publishing your first series costs nothing — there's no upfront fee or subscription required to sell your work on Indian Manga.

What kind of manga can I publish?

Any genre — mythology, crime, horror, slice-of-life, comedy, and beyond. We're built for Indian stories and Indian creators, but the genre is entirely up to you. All content must comply with our Terms of Service.

Can I publish the same manga on other platforms too?

Yes, your work stays yours. Indian Manga doesn't require exclusivity — publish here alongside any other platform you use.

Reading & Subscriptions

How do I unlock premium chapters?

You can unlock individual chapters for a one-time fee, or subscribe monthly (₹199) or annually (₹999) to access all premium content on the platform.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, you can cancel anytime from your dashboard settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you keep access until then.

Are chapter unlocks and tips refundable?

Chapter unlocks and tips are non-refundable once completed. If you believe a payment was processed in error, contact us at support@indianmanga.com within 7 days.

Creator Earnings

How and when do I get paid?

Every chapter unlock, subscription share, and tip is logged in your Earnings tab in real time. Once your balance reaches ₹500, you can withdraw to your UPI or bank account.

Do I have to make my chapters paid?

No — you choose free or premium per chapter when you upload. Chapters 1–3 default to free to help readers get hooked, but you can override any chapter at any time.

How does the subscription revenue pool work?

Every monthly and annual subscription payment goes into a shared creator pool. At the end of each month we split that pool across every creator based on their share of total reads by paying subscribers. Get 20% of all paid reads? You get 20% of the pool.

What counts as a read for subscription revenue?

Only logged-in users with an active monthly or annual subscription. Anonymous visitors and free users don't affect your revenue share. Each reader is counted once per chapter per day.

What if I publish more chapters — does that help earnings?

Yes. More chapters means more opportunities for subscribers to read your work, which increases your read-share. A creator with 30 chapters will generally outperform one with 3, all else equal.

What if I had zero reads one month?

You earn nothing from the subscription pool that month — but chapter unlocks and tips still pay you immediately regardless of the pool.

When exactly does subscription distribution happen?

We run distribution at the end of each month. Your share appears in your Earnings tab as a 'subscription share' entry and stays pending until you request a withdrawal.

Content & Copyright

Who owns the content I publish?

You do. Creators retain full ownership of everything they publish. By uploading content, you grant Indian Manga a licence to host and display it on the platform — that's it.

What happens if someone copies my work?

Contact us at support@indianmanga.com with details of the infringing content. We take IP complaints seriously and will act within 30 days as required by the IT Act 2000.

What content is not allowed?

Content that infringes copyright, is sexually explicit or obscene, depicts minors in any sexual context, promotes violence or terrorism, or violates any Indian law. See our Terms of Service for the full list.

Account & Privacy

How do I delete my account?

Go to Settings → Danger Zone → Delete account. This permanently removes all your data within 30 days. Creator earnings records are retained for 7 years as required by Indian tax law.

Can I request a copy of my data?

Yes. Email support@indianmanga.com and we'll send you a copy of all data we hold about you within 30 days.

Does Indian Manga sell my data?

No. We never sell reader or creator data to third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
