Instagram monetization rules (India): safe basics
If you want long-term Instagram earning in India, compliance matters. This page covers safe basics so your account doesn’t get restricted.
Note: Rules change over time. Always check official Instagram/Meta policies.
1) Avoid misleading earning claims
- Don’t say “guaranteed income” or “fixed monthly salary”
- Don’t use fake payment proofs/screenshots
- Don’t use clickbait like “100% working secret trick”
2) Respect copyright
- Avoid reuploading movie/TV clips
- Use original footage, licensed stock, or permission-based content
- Add real value: commentary, education, and transformation
3) Disclose promotions
If you post affiliate links or sponsored content, disclose it clearly. This builds trust and helps compliance.
4) Be careful with automation
Automation for workflow (editing, scheduling) is fine. Automation for spam (DM blasts, fake engagement) is risky.
- Safe: templates, caption tools, scheduling
- Avoid: mass following/unfollowing, spam DMs, fake engagement tools
