What exactly is OzoneSign?
A digital document platform. We guide you through creating a professionally structured document, support the applicable eStamp step, run the Aadhaar eSign workflow for signers who can complete Aadhaar authentication, and deliver a signed PDF with signing records — with human support on WhatsApp throughout.
Is OzoneSign a law firm? Do you give legal advice?
No. OzoneSign is a document-technology platform, not a law firm, and does not provide legal advice (Advocates Act, 1961). We provide document workflows and general legal information with official sources. Where legal advice is needed, it is rendered exclusively by independent advocates.
Do I need to visit an office?
For the Aadhaar eSign step — no; each signer completes it remotely on their phone. If your document additionally requires registration or a state-specific formality, that step follows its own official process, and we tell you upfront.
What does a signer need for Aadhaar eSign?
An Aadhaar number with a mobile number linked to it, to receive the authentication OTP. Signers who cannot complete Aadhaar authentication can discuss alternative execution routes with us.
What documents can you make today?
Available now: 11-Month Rent Agreements, Agreements to Sell, and custom property documents on request (broker–client, property management, notices and more). Coming later: employment, freelance/service, vendor agreements, NDAs and notices.
Why are rent agreements commonly made for 11 months?
Registration Act 1908, Sec 17(1)(d) (read with TPA Secs 106–107) makes registration compulsory for leases exceeding one year. An 11-month tenancy is structured to sit outside that requirement — a fully executable agreement without the registration process. It can be renewed on expiry.
Is an eSigned 11-month rent agreement usable for police verification, address proof or HRA?
A stamped, executed rent agreement is what these processes generally ask for, and an Aadhaar-eSigned + eStamped agreement is a legally executed agreement. Individual authorities may follow their own checklists — tell us your use case on WhatsApp and we will guide you before you pay.
Can I customise clauses — lock-in, deposit, notice period, pets?
Yes. The draft is prepared from your inputs — lock-in, security deposit and forfeiture, maintenance, notice period, escalation, pet policy and more — not a fixed template.
My tenancy is longer than 11 months. What then?
A lease exceeding one year is compulsorily registrable — an unregistered one cannot be used to prove its own terms (Sec 49, Registration Act). We will say so plainly and help you choose between proper registration and a renewable 11-month structure, whichever fits your situation.
Is an eSigned Agreement to Sell legally recognised?
Yes — an Agreement to Sell is a contract, and following the September 2022 amendment to the IT Act First Schedule, such property contracts are no longer excluded from electronic execution. The honest boundary: the final Sale Deed transfers ownership and must be registered — no platform can replace that step.
What does an Agreement to Sell actually protect?
It locks the deal before registration: price, token/advance, payment schedule, timelines, possession terms, consequences of backing out and title-related conditions — the document that keeps both sides accountable between "deal done" and the registered Sale Deed.
Buyer and seller are in different cities. Can we still execute it?
Yes — each party completes the Aadhaar eSign step from wherever they are. The agreement can be executed the same day instead of waiting for travel.
Flat in a society — anything special needed?
We include society-relevant clauses: maintenance and common-area charges, parking allotment, society NOC cooperation and move-in/move-out terms — points generic templates usually miss.
Independent house or villa on rent — what changes?
Drafting shifts to what matters there: garden/terrace usage, tank and borewell upkeep, generator, staff quarters and the owner/tenant repair split.
Can a PG or room-sharing arrangement be documented?
Yes — typically as a licence/PG arrangement with house rules, deposit and notice terms. Tell us the setup and we will recommend the right structure.
Agricultural land — can an Agreement to Sell be eSigned?
The agreement (a contract) can be executed electronically. But agricultural land carries state-specific rules — eligibility to purchase, ceilings, conversion requirements — so it goes through our manual review first, and the final conveyance is always through registration.
Plot or open land — what should the agreement cover?
Boundaries and survey number, encumbrance status, approvals/development condition, token and balance schedule, and exit consequences — built into the draft, not bolted on.
Shop or office rent agreement — how is it different from residential?
Commercial terms need care: permitted use, signage, fit-out period, escalation, GST on rent, and lock-in that protects fit-out investment. We draft these commercially, not as a repainted residential template.
Warehouse / godown leasing — supported?
Yes — including loading/unloading hours, storage-type restrictions, fire-safety compliance responsibility and insurance obligations.
Commercial lease longer than a year?
Then registration is legally required for the lease to prove its own terms — and we will tell you so plainly rather than sell a shortcut. For many businesses a renewable 11-month structure is the practical alternative; we help you choose.
I am an NRI owner. Can I sign from abroad?
If your Aadhaar-linked Indian mobile number can receive the OTP, you can complete the eSign step from anywhere. Where a document additionally requires registration, that official process has its own requirements — we flag them upfront.
Owner in one city, property and tenant in another?
A very common case. Each signer completes the eSign step from their own phone; the executed agreement reaches everyone the same day.
Will a court recognise an Aadhaar-eSigned agreement?
Aadhaar eSign is a notified electronic-signature technique under the IT Act 2000, and the BSA 2023 (Secs 85–87) provides statutory presumptions for electronic records and secure electronic signatures. That strengthens the evidentiary position — though no one can guarantee the outcome of any specific dispute. The full section-by-section chain, with official sources, is on our Learn page.
How is this different from a notarised agreement?
An ordinary notarised private agreement carries no special statutory presumption of execution — if denied, execution must be established, often through the notary and witnesses. An Aadhaar-eSigned agreement produces a signer-specific verifiable record (certificate + audit trail), and the BSA presumptions apply to secure electronic signatures. Also: signing away from the notary — the common courier shortcut — undermines the attestation itself.
What if someone claims the document was changed after signing?
Post-signing changes can be detected during signature verification — the signed PDF, certificate and audit trail show which version was signed, when, and by whom.
Is the eStamp real stamp duty?
Yes — e-stamping is a government-recognised mode of paying stamp duty. The applicable duty for your document and state is part of the workflow and disclosed before confirmation.
Are two witnesses always required?
Not always — it depends on the process, not the signature. For ordinary private agreements, two attesting witnesses are not automatically a universal central-law requirement; registration processes may involve their own witness/identifier steps; and optional witnesses can be added where preferred. We confirm the applicable requirement for your document and state.
What does the ₹999 service fee include?
The 11-Month Rent Agreement service fee covers guided creation, the professionally structured draft, the Aadhaar eSign workflow and your signed PDF with signing records. Applicable stamp duty, taxes and any government charges are shown clearly before confirmation. No hidden charges.
How long does the process take?
The draft is prepared from your details; the signing step itself typically takes minutes once every signer is ready. Timelines for any additional state or registration formality follow the official process concerned.
How do I start? Is there an app?
No app needed. Tap any WhatsApp button on this site, tell us your document and details, and we run the workflow with you — drafting, review, eStamp, eSign, delivery.
What is the Rent Agreement Plus plan (₹1,499)?
Everything in the Essential plan — plus, if your document is ever questioned, we stand behind it with technical evidence support: a compiled verification pack (electronic-signature certificate + full signing audit trail), record retrieval whenever needed, and step-by-step verification guidance prepared for you and your advocate. Honest boundary: legal representation and advice remain with your independent advocate.
Can you guarantee my document will win in court?
No honest platform can promise that — outcomes depend on facts, evidence and law. What we provide is a clear process and a strong, verifiable execution record, so your document is not the weak point.
