Legally Valid Documents.
Digitally Simple.
Professionally drafted, eStamped and signed from your phone — with proof that holds up on the day it is questioned.
Starting with Rent Agreements and Agreements to Sell. Custom documents on request.
Think back — how was your last agreement made?
This is about the process, not the people. But the order decides everything.
What usually happens
The agreement is prepared and the notary’s seal goes on first
Signatures are collected afterwards — at an office, or on a WhatsApp printout
The notary never actually sees anyone sign
What the Notaries Act expects
The notary verifies identity — owner, tenant and witnesses
Everyone signs in the notary’s presence
Only then does the seal and signature go on
Registration isn’t magic.
It’s a presumption.
Nobody goes to the Sub-Registrar for the paper. They go because if the document is ever questioned, the court starts by treating it as genuine — and the other side has to prove otherwise.
Aadhaar eSign + eStamp earns statutory presumptions too. IT Act 2000 (Secs 3A, 14–15) makes it a secure electronic signature; BSA 2023 (Secs 85–87) provides statutory presumptions for such records. The burden moves the same way — toward whoever challenges it. And you get a signature certificate and audit trail from a licensed eSign provider, retrievable years later.

OzoneSign is a digital-document platform, not a law firm, and does not provide legal advice (Advocates Act, 1961). Where registration is legally required, electronic signing does not replace it. Statutory presumptions strengthen your position; no outcome of any dispute is guaranteed.
The IT Act's First Schedule lists documents excluded from electronic execution. For years that exclusion covered contracts for the sale of immovable property — until a MeitY notification in September 2022 removed that entry.

An honest platform tells you where digital is not the route:
Sale Deed / conveyance — ownership transfer must be registered at the Sub-Registrar. An Agreement to Sell can be digital; the deed cannot skip registration.
Wills — excluded from electronic execution.
Powers of Attorney — excluded; follow their own execution process.
Negotiable instruments (other than cheques) — excluded.
Trust deeds — excluded.
Everything you need, end to end
Professionally structured agreement — drafted and customised to your terms
Customised terms — rent, deposit, lock-in, notice period, maintenance, inventory and more
Applicable eStamp coordination — state-wise stamp duty shown to you before payment
Aadhaar eSign for defined parties — each signer signs from their own phone
Completed signed PDF + signing records and certificate information
Human support on WhatsApp and one standard correction included
Everything in the ₹999 plan — plus defined support for the day you hope never comes.
What Plus adds
Document recovery assistance — if your completed OzoneSign agreement is later misplaced, we assist in recovering the agreement and signing records retained through the service
Post-expiry notice support — if the tenant does not hand over vacant possession after the agreed expiry date, we connect you with an independent empanelled advocate for a vacancy-related legal notice at pre-agreed discounted rates, subject to eligibility and the advocate’s own review
Court-record assistance — if proceedings later arise concerning the completed agreement, we assist you or your independently engaged advocate in identifying and understanding the available digital records relevant to its execution
Priority human process support throughout
Property in one city. You in another — or another country. The moment an agreement is needed, the coordination begins: printouts, signature pages by courier, "sign and send it back," a flight booked just for a formality — or a deal that simply waits.
With Aadhaar eSign, distance stops being part of the process. Each signer signs from their own phone — you in Dubai at 11 PM, your tenant in Delhi at lunch — and the signed PDF lands on everyone's WhatsApp the same day.
The appointment was for 11:30. You left the office at 4. Registration means slots that open a week out, queues, everyone's biometrics, and one missing paper meaning "come back tomorrow." For many people it is a full day of leave — sometimes two.
Here is the part few people mention: a standard rent agreement does not legally require registration in most cases. The strength people queue up for is available another way — a statutory presumption that Aadhaar eSign also earns (see section 03).
Two witnesses, arranged on the day — a neighbour, an office colleague, whoever was available. And somewhere at the back of the mind: if this ever reaches a dispute years from now, who finds them? Who ensures they remember?
Paper-based proof leans on people: their availability, their memory, their willingness to appear. A digital signing record leans on none of that — each signature carries a verified identity, a timestamp and a certificate, preserved in an audit trail that does not relocate or forget.
It is the quiet question underneath every agreement: if the other side one day says "I never signed this" — or "that is not the version I signed" — what do you actually hold?
With a casually executed paper document, the answer is often: a signature to be proven, witnesses to be found, and years of process. With an Aadhaar-eSigned document, the answer is a signer-specific, verifiable record — who signed, which exact version, at what time — and post-signing changes are detectable on verification.
Disputes are never decided by how official a paper looks. Courts work through three questions:
Who signed it? Can execution be established — or is it word against word?
Which exact version? Terms, pages, dates — is this the document both sides executed?
Who must prove what? The single most underrated question — the burden of proof often decides the fight before it begins.
Everything else on this page is really about question 3.
Registration earns the document a presumption: the court starts by treating execution as genuine, and the denying side must displace the official record. That head start — not the stamp paper, not the office visit — is the entire power of registration.
It is why generations of property owners were told: "registry karwa lo, pakka ho jayega." The instinct is correct — the presumption is real.
Here is what surprises most people: on an ordinary private agreement, the notary's seal is only an attestation — it earns no statutory presumption of execution.
If the other side denies signing, you carry the burden: produce the notary, produce the witnesses, and hope everyone remembers — years later. And where the parties never actually signed before the notary (the common shortcut), the attestation itself is undermined.
The IT Act 2000 recognises Aadhaar eSign as a secure electronic signature (Sec 3A, Second Schedule; Secs 14–15). The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023 (Secs 85–87) then gives such records statutory presumptions in court — the same direction of burden a registered deed enjoys: the challenger must dispute the electronic record itself.
And since a standard rent agreement does not require registration in most cases, the practical result is simple:
Presumptions strengthen your position; no specific dispute outcome is ever guaranteed. Full sections and official sources on the Learn page.
Verify every claim →Cost: ₹500–700 plus a day of coordination. Court's view if disputed: no statutory presumption — if the other side claims "I never signed this," you spend years proving they did, through a notary and witnesses who may no longer remember, or be found.
The shortcut problem
In everyday practice the signing order is often reversed — seal first, signatures later, away from the notary. The attestation then loses much of its meaning, and that gap surfaces at the worst possible time. (Full timelines in section 05.)
Cost: up to ₹10,000+ once the lawyer, agent and trips are counted — stamp duty extra. Time: 2–4 days of slots, queues and biometrics at the Sub-Registrar. Living elsewhere? Add flights — or a months-long Power of Attorney route.
Court's view: genuinely strong — execution is presumed and the denying side must rebut the official record. Where the law requires registration, it must be done, full stop.
Cost: ₹999 service fee. Time: about 10 minutes of signing, from anywhere. Court's view: secure electronic signature under the IT Act 2000, with BSA 2023 presumptions — the challenger must dispute the electronic record itself.
