Yes, copyright protection arises automatically upon creation of an original work — registration is not mandatory. However, registration provides prima facie evidence of ownership in court, making enforcement significantly easier.
Under the Copyright Act, 1957, the following categories are registrable: literary works (including software), dramatic works, musical works, artistic works, cinematograph films, and sound recordings.
