Figures are counts only. No complainant's name, contact details or complaint text is published, in keeping with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Rights clearance expiry register

No licence on the public register carries an expiry date at present. Every asset in current productions is either owned outright by Vermaverse OPC Private Limited or licensed in perpetuity, and the full internal Rights Register records the documentation for each.

Material whose clearance has expired is withdrawn from public view until the licence is renewed and re-documented.

Accountability

Each report is prepared and signed off by the Grievance Officer of Vermaverse OPC Private Limited. Details of the Grievance Officer are published on the Grievance Officer page of this site.

If you need a copy of a report for a specific month, or the supporting record for a particular notice, write to contact@kathayan.in.
