Your client contract decides whether you get paid, and who owns the work.
Upload a client or consulting agreement and get payment terms, IP assignment, and misclassification risk checked against Indian law.
What people are surprised to learn
The MSMED Act sets a 45-day payment rule for registered micro and small suppliers.
Where a supplier is Udyam-registered, Sections 15–16 address payment timelines and interest on delay. Whether it applies turns on registration status and other facts we cannot see in a document, so we flag the payment term against the provision and leave the conclusion to you and your advocate.
What this review checks
- MSMED 45-day payment right and interest on delay
- Payment tied to vague “approval” with no deemed acceptance
- Deposit, kill fee, revision caps and scope creep
- Who owns the IP, and the Copyright Act Section 19 formalities
- The five-year assignment lapse where no term is stated
- Contractor vs employee misclassification indicia
- TDS section references and GST treatment
- Post-engagement non-compete and non-solicit
