For a marquee-name sangeet on a tighter budget, Kanika Kapoor is ₹20 L – ₹25 L, Palak Muchhal is ₹25 L – ₹30 L, and Kumar Sanu is ₹60 L – ₹70 L; GST, travel, accommodation and production are additional.
Are Indian singer fees negotiable?
The list price is a starting position. Multi-city tours, longer notice windows, off-season dates and category conflict restrictions typically unlock 10–25% commercial movement.

Travel and stay for the artist and band, ground transport, hospitality rider, backline and PA scale, and — where applicable — GST, TDS and social-media usage rights.
Do singer fees include a band and technical setup?
Fees quoted are usually artist-only. A full live band adds ₹30 L–1 Cr and technical scale (LED, PA, monitors) is quoted separately based on venue.
