Employment
Appointment Letter (Labour Code Ready)
Appointment letters became a statutory requirement for all workers under the OSH Code. This template covers the particulars an appointment letter should record.
Open templateInternship Agreement
A short internship agreement that records the engagement clearly and assigns IP, which is the gap that surfaces later in company diligence.
Open templateFreelance
Freelance Services Agreement
A services agreement written from the freelancer side: payment on defined acceptance, IP transferring on payment, and MSMED payment timelines referenced.
Open templateConsultant Agreement (Company Side)
A consultancy agreement drafted from the company side, structured so the engagement reads as genuinely independent rather than as employment.
Open templateBefore you use one of these
Are these templates free to use?
Yes. Copy or download any of them, replace the bracketed placeholders, and use them. There is no sign-up and no watermark.
Do I still need to stamp and register the document?
Stamp duty is a State subject and applies to most instruments regardless of where the wording came from. An unstamped or insufficiently stamped document is generally inadmissible in evidence under Section 35 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 until the duty and penalty are paid. Registration is a separate question and depends on the instrument and the State.
Are these drafted for current law?
They reflect the position as at July 2026, including the four Labour Codes that came into force on 21 November 2025 and the DPDP Rules notified in November 2025. State rules under the Labour Codes are still being notified, so confirm the position for your State before relying on any figure.
Why is there no builder-buyer or sale deed template?
Those documents are drafted by the developer or seller side, and they turn on State-specific stamping, registration and RERA rules. A generic form would be more likely to mislead a buyer than to help one. If you have received such an agreement, run it through the analyzer instead.
Is a template a substitute for an advocate?
No. A template is a starting point that makes the conversation with an advocate shorter and cheaper. For anything high-value, have the final document reviewed.
Received a contract someone else drafted?
A template helps when you are the one writing. When you are the one signing, upload it and get every clause checked against Indian law, with the provision each finding rests on.
ClauseAudit provides information and analysis, not legal advice, and does not create an advocate–client relationship. These templates are a starting point and must be adapted to your facts. Stamp duty and registration requirements vary by State and are your responsibility.
