A.Dear Client,
Under Section 63 of the Copyright Act, 1957 any person who knowingly infringes or abets the infringement of the copyright in any work commits a criminal offense and the offense of copyright infringement is a cognizable and non-bailable offense which is punishable with imprisonment for a minimum term of six months and a maximum of 3 years, and/or fine from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 2,00,000 in India. Further, Section 65B of the Act makes it an offense to remove or alter digital rights information or images without authorization and to distribute any copyrightable works from which the digital rights information has been removed. When an offense is committed even by default or inadvertently, on the Google site, it might have infringed the Copyright Act of a Company who can take legal action against you. In case you received any call or legal notice in this regard, contact an Advocate experienced in intellectual property laws for guidance and steps.

A.Dear
Using images of Indian monuments for commercial purposes, including on merchandise like in-game T-shirts, without proper authorization could potentially infringe on the intellectual property rights associated with those monuments and If you intend to use images of Indian monuments or any other intellectual property in the future, ensure that you obtain proper authorization or licenses from the Government.
