You should have a phone verfied account. And your account should meet general YouTube partnership criteria and must have an adsense linked YouTube account.
Subscription rates range from Rs.5 to Rs.20,000. Subscribers will be charged monthly or annually. SUbscribers can select payment cycle. YouTube will also offer paid packages with multiple channels in the package. When a free channel switches to paid channel, all the subscribers will automatically unsubscribed.
YouTube announced paid channelts back in May 2013. In the paid subscription, Channel owners could keep more than 50% of revenue while YouTube keeps the rest of the revenue generated by the channel.
