community guidelines

A safe stage for every Indian.

India Reels is a community of 50,000+ creators and millions of viewers. These guidelines exist so the platform stays a place where people feel safe to express, create and grow.

Respect every Indian

Hate speech, harassment, discrimination based on caste, religion, region, gender, sexual orientation or disability has no place here. Different opinions are welcome — personal attacks are not.

No harmful content

We strictly prohibit content promoting self-harm, suicide, drug abuse, terrorism, or violence against people or animals. We work closely with NIMHANS and crisis-helpline partners for sensitive topics.

No sexual or graphic content

India Reels is safe for all ages. Nudity, sexually explicit material, and gratuitously violent or gory content are not allowed. Educational/medical exceptions reviewed case-by-case.

Protect minors

Content sexualising minors is illegal and will be reported to Indian authorities (NCRB, CBI cyber cell). Creators under 18 must use family-safe handles and have parental guidance.

No misinformation

Don't post fake news, election misinformation, doctored political content, anti-vaccine claims, or financial scams. Misleading deepfakes will be removed and the account suspended.

Authentic engagement

No bots, no bought followers, no fake likes. We use AI + manual review to detect inauthentic activity and shadow-ban or remove repeat offenders.
