How to Get Your Song on JioSaavn India 2026 — Free Step-by-Step Guide

JioSaavn is India's largest music streaming platform with 150M+ monthly active users. Every Jio SIM — and there are 450M of them — comes with built-in JioSaavn access. If you're an independent artist in India and your music isn't on JioSaavn, you're invisible to the majority of Indian listeners.

The short answer:

You cannot submit directly to JioSaavn. Submit to Western Beats (free) → your song goes live on JioSaavn and 150+ platforms in 72 hours.

Why JioSaavn Is the Most Important Platform for Indian Artists

Unlike Spotify, which is a global platform with a relatively small Indian user base, JioSaavn is India-native. It hosts the most comprehensive Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and regional music catalogue of any Indian platform. It is the go-to destination for Indian listeners across all age groups.

JioSaavn also powers Jio Caller Tune (Hello Tune) — when users set your song as their incoming call tone, it reaches callers who have never searched for you. This passive discovery mechanism is unique to Indian telecom and has no equivalent anywhere else in the world.

Most global distributors (DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby) do not distribute to JioSaavn. This is the single biggest gap in global distribution for Indian artists. Western Beats includes JioSaavn as standard — free, with every submission.

How to Get Your Song on JioSaavn — 5 Steps

01
Prepare Your Files
Export your song as a WAV file at 44.1kHz, 16-bit or higher. This is the quality standard for major streaming platforms. If WAV isn't available, MP3 at 320kbps is also accepted. Prepare your album cover art as a square image (1:1 ratio) at minimum 3000×3000px in JPG or PNG format. JioSaavn will reject artwork with URLs, social media handles, or low-resolution images.
02
Submit to Western Beats (Free)
Go to westernbeats.com/submit. Western Beats is a free music distributor with JioSaavn as a standard distribution platform. Fill in your basic artist information and contact details.
03
Enter Your Song Details
Complete your release information: Song Title (exactly as you want it to appear on JioSaavn), Artist Name, Genre, Language, Release Date, Composer Name, Lyricist Name. Accuracy matters — JioSaavn catalogs music with this metadata and it affects how your song surfaces in search.
04
Upload Audio and Artwork
Upload your audio file and cover art. Western Beats automatically assigns a free ISRC code to your track — this international code uniquely identifies your recording and is required for JioSaavn distribution. You receive it at no charge.
05
Live on JioSaavn in 72 Hours
Western Beats reviews your submission (typically within 24 hours) and distributes to JioSaavn and all 150+ platforms simultaneously. You'll receive confirmation when your music is live. Your song will also be available as a Jio Caller Tune automatically.

How to Get on JioSaavn Editorial Playlists

JioSaavn's editorial team curates playlists like "Fresh Hindi Hits," "Punjabi Fire," "Tamil Hits," and genre/mood playlists. Getting placed on one can add thousands of streams overnight.

Western Beats' Warner Music India Partnership gives your releases priority consideration for JioSaavn editorial playlists. Submit your music to Western Beats at least 7–10 days before your intended release date. The earlier you submit, the more time the editorial team has to review your track.

When submitting, include: genre, language, mood, target audience, and any notable facts about the song (featured artists, notable collaborators, related film/project). Specific context helps the editorial team match your song to the right playlist.
