Creator Payout Policy

Revenue sharing and payment terms for creators.

Last Updated: April 25, 2026

1. Introduction

Nexra Corppe Private Limited ("Zupiyo OTT," "we," "us," or "our") values the contributions of content creators who platform their work with us. This Creator Payout Policy outlines the terms and conditions regarding revenue sharing, payment schedules, and payout procedures for creators on the Zupiyo OTT platform.

By submitting content to Zupiyo OTT and entering into a monetization agreement, you agree to the terms set forth specifically in this policy, in addition to our standard Terms of Use.

2. Revenue Sharing Model

Zupiyo OTT operates primarily on a Pay-Per-View (PPV) Credit model. Revenue generated from your content is shared as follows:

  • Standard Split: Unless otherwise negotiated in a separate written agreement, creators receive 60% of the net revenue generated from the rental or purchase of their content. Zupiyo OTT retains 40% as a platform fee to cover hosting, streaming bandwidth, transaction fees, and marketing.
  • Net Revenue Calculation: Net Revenue is defined as the Gross Revenue received from users specifically for your content, minus applicable taxes (e.g., GST/VAT), app store transaction fees (e.g., Google Play billing fees), and payment gateway charges.
  • Watch Time Bonus: Occasionally, Zupiyo may offer bonus payouts based on aggregate watch time thresholds. These are discretionary and will be communicated via the Creator Dashboard.

3. Payment Eligibility and Thresholds

To receive a payout, you must meet the following criteria:

  • Minimum Threshold: You must accrue a minimum balance of ₹5,000 (or $100 equivalent) in unpaid earnings. If your balance is below this amount at the end of a payment cycle, it rolls over to the next month.
  • Account Verification: Your profile must be fully verified, including identity verification (KYC) and tax information submission (PAN card for Indian residents).
  • Valid Payment Method: You must have a valid, active bank account or payment method linked to your Creator Dashboard.

4. Payment Schedule

We operate on a Net-45 payment schedule:

  • Calculation Period: Earnings are calculated for each calendar month (1st to 30th/31st).
  • Processing Time: Payments for a given month are processed 45 days after the end of that month. For example, earnings generated in January will be paid by March 15th.
  • Delays: While we strive for punctuality, payments may be delayed due to bank holidays, administrative reviews for fraud, or technical issues. In such cases, we will notify you via the dashboard.

5. Payment Methods

Zupiyo OTT supports the following payout methods:

  • Direct Bank Transfer (NEFT/IMPS): Available for creators resident in India. No processing fees are charged by us, but your bank may apply inward remittance charges.
  • PayPal: Available for international creators outside India. PayPal transaction fees are deducted from the final payout amount.
  • UPI: Available for smaller payout amounts (under ₹20,000) within India for faster processing.

6. Tax Deductions

Compliance with tax laws is mandatory:

  • TDS (Tax Deducted at Source): For Indian creators, Income Tax TDS will be deducted as per the prevailing rates (currently 10% for individuals/professionals under Section 194J) if valid PAN is provided. Payouts without a PAN card may attract higher TDS deduction (20%).
  • GST: If you are a GST-registered entity, you must provide a valid GST invoice for your revenue share. Zupiyo will pay the GST component over and above your share against a valid tax invoice.
  • International Taxes: International creators are responsible for their local tax liabilities. Zupiyo may withhold taxes as required by Indian cross-border taxation laws if applicable forms (like Form 10F) are not submitted.

7. Adjustments and Withholdings

Zupiyo OTT reserves the right to adjust or withhold payments in the following scenarios:

  • Refunds/Chargebacks: If a user is granted a refund for your content (e.g., due to technical faults), or initiates a chargeback, the corresponding creator revenue share will be deducted from your account balance.
  • Fraudulent Activity: If we detect artificial manipulation of view counts, self-purchasing of content, or other fraudulent methods to inflate earnings, your account will be suspended, and all pending payouts will be forfeited.
  • Copyright Infringement: Revenue generated from content that is legally found to infringe on third-party rights will be held in escrow until the dispute is resolved or returned to the rightful owner.

8. Reporting and Discrepancies

Creators have access to a real-time analytics dashboard.

If you believe there is a discrepancy in your earnings report, you must notify us within 30 days of the report being generated. Failure to do so constitutes acceptance of the report as accurate. We will audit the logs and provide a resolution within 15 business days.
