What a drafted agreement gives you that a template does not
A template covers the situation the parties are in on the day they sign. An agreement is worth having for the day they stop agreeing, and that is a different document. The clauses that decide disputes are almost never the ones people negotiate hardest:
- What happens on default — and specifically, what the innocent party may do
- How the arrangement ends, by either side, and what is payable then
- How disputes are resolved, and where
- What is excluded or capped, and whether that is enforceable
- What happens when circumstances change — a party dies, a business is sold, a law changes
Downloaded formats are usually drafted for another state's stamp law, another fact pattern, or both. The recurring errors we see: rent stated annually in an eleven-month agreement (which can attract compulsory registration under section 17(1)(d)); post-employment non-competes that are void under section 27 of the Indian Contract Act; agreements to sell that pass possession without registration, losing all protection under section 53A; and property described in a way that does not match the revenue record.
How the work runs
- You describe the situation, not the document. Most people ask for a document by name because somebody told them to. Often it is the wrong one.
- We tell you the stamp and the route — what duty applies, whether notarisation is enough, and whether the Sub-Registrar is involved. Before anything is drafted.
- We draft, and you read it. In Gujarati or English, whichever you actually read. Changes are expected at this stage, not after signing.
- Stamp, execute, notarise — at the same counter, in one visit.

We do not publish duty figures on this website. The Gujarat Stamp Act, 1958 was amended in 2025 and several articles were restructured; a rate printed on a web page goes stale and costs somebody money. As a Government authorised e-Stamping centre we confirm the duty currently prescribed for your specific document and issue the e-stamp against it, at face value. The notarial fee is separate and capped by law — ₹35 to attest execution, ₹35 to administer an oath or take an affidavit, under Rule 10(1) of the Notaries Rules, 1956. The full fee table →
Drafted here, in Gujarati or English
Drafted by an advocate of 35+ years rather than filled into a downloaded template, e-stamped at a Government authorised centre, and notarised in the same visit. If the parties read Gujarati, the document is drafted in Gujarati — not translated out of an English form, because legal Gujarati has its own settled vocabulary and a literal translation frequently means something looser.
