The MTV Immies are held every year with an aim to award the best talents in the Indian music industry. In 2005, the Immies supported relief for the quake victims of India and Pakistan. Also, proceeds from donor passes were given to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund. In keeping with tradition, a number of Pakistani as well as international artists performed at the event. In December 2004, seven time Grammy winner Canadian singer Alanis Morissette attended the event.
