FAQs
Legal Agreement Drafting: frequently asked questions
Do agreements need to be on stamp paper?
Most agreements attract stamp duty under the applicable state stamp law, often payable through e-stamping. The amount depends on the type of agreement and the state; we guide you for each document.
Can agreements be signed electronically?
Yes. Many agreements can be executed with Aadhaar eSign or a digital signature certificate, which are recognised under the Information Technology Act, although some documents still need physical execution or registration.
What is the difference between a mutual and a one-way NDA?
A one-way NDA protects information shared by only one party; a mutual NDA protects both sides when both will share confidential information.
Can you review a contract sent by the other party?
Yes. We review it, flag risky clauses such as unlimited liability or one-sided termination, and suggest balanced changes.
