Read‑onlyFrequently Asked Questions
Answers to common legal and practical questions for Indian digital marketing professionals.
Is this generated contract legally binding in India?
Disclaimer: This tool generates a general template based on common industry practices. While it incorporates standard clauses relevant to Indian law (like the Indian Contract Act, 1872), it is not a substitute for professional legal advice.
For a contract to be legally binding, it must have all the essentials of a valid contract (offer, acceptance, consideration, etc.). It is highly recommended to have the final document reviewed by a qualified lawyer to ensure it fits your specific business needs and is fully compliant with all applicable laws.
What is the DPDP Act and why is it included?
The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 is India's comprehensive data privacy law. It governs how businesses collect, store, and process personal data of individuals within India.
As a digital marketer, you often handle personal data (e.g., email lists, user information from ad campaigns). The DPDP clause ensures that both you and your client acknowledge your responsibilities under this law, such as processing data lawfully and only for the purposes stated in the contract. Including this clause shows professionalism and legal awareness.
How should I handle GST?
If your annual turnover exceeds the prescribed threshold (currently ₹20 lakh for services in most states), you must register for Goods and Services Tax (GST).
- GST Registered: If you are registered, you must include your GSTIN and charge GST on your invoices (currently 18% for most digital marketing services).
- Exclusive vs. Inclusive: "Exclusive of GST" means you add 18% on top of your fee (e.g., ₹50,000 + 18% GST). "Inclusive of GST" means the total fee already includes the GST amount. Be very clear about this in your contract.
It's always best to consult with a Chartered Accountant (CA) for accurate financial advice regarding GST.
Can I use digital signatures for this contract?
Yes. In India, electronic signatures are legally valid and recognized under the Information Technology Act, 2000. The contract template includes a clause stating this.
You can use various methods for e-signing:
- Aadhaar eSign: A widely used and secure method.
- Digital Signature Certificates (DSC): Often used for company filings.
- Third-party platforms: Services like DocuSign, Adobe Sign, or other similar platforms provide a reliable and auditable trail for electronic signatures.
Why is the "Independent Contractor" clause important?
This clause is crucial for freelancers and agencies. It clearly defines the business relationship as one between two independent entities, not an employer and employee.
This distinction means:
- You are responsible for your own taxes, insurance, and benefits.
- The client is not obligated to provide employee benefits like Provident Fund (PF) or Employee State Insurance (ESI).
- It prevents potential legal disputes about employment status.
