Ideas get shared in every founder meeting, investor pitch, and vendor onboarding. An NDA won't stop a determined leak — but a well-drafted one gives you real legal recourse and makes the other side think twice.

Overview
What an NDA actually does
It is a contract that defines what information is confidential and restricts how the receiving party can use or share it.
It applies to business discussions, employment, vendor relationships, and investor conversations.
One-way NDAs protect one side's information; mutual NDAs protect both sides.
Key clauses: definition of confidential information, exclusions, duration, permitted disclosures, and remedies for breach.
It is enforceable as a civil contract in India — the quality of drafting decides how useful it is in a dispute.
Benefits

The right NDA for the situation
One-way, mutual, employee, vendor — the NDA matches the actual relationship, not a generic template.

What counts as confidential, for how long, and what happens on breach — defined precisely, so the NDA works when tested.
Quick turnaround
Founder discussions, investor decks, vendor onboarding — we turn NDAs around fast.
Review and negotiation included
We mark up the other side's draft and negotiate the clauses that actually matter — survival period, exclusions, remedies.
Documents
What documents do you need for a Non-Disclosure Agreement?
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
Non-Disclosure Agreement process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 5
Define what must stay secret
We identify the confidential information and the purpose of sharing. A good NDA is specific — 'everything we discuss' is hard to enforce, while defined categories are strong.
We draft the NDA
Our lawyers draft the NDA under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, covering definition of confidential information, obligations, exclusions, permitted disclosures, duration, return or destruction of information, remedies, and governing law. First draft typically takes 1-2 working days.
Review by both sides
Both parties review the draft. We handle one round of revisions — usually around duration, exclusions, and whether the NDA is mutual.
Signing before disclosure
The NDA should be signed before any confidential information changes hands — signing after the fact weakens protection. Execution can be on stamp paper or digital under the IT Act, 2000.
Track and enforce
We advise on marking confidential documents and maintaining disclosure logs, which make the NDA far easier to enforce if it is ever breached.

For NRI founders & foreign investors

Before you start
- 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors — no Indian partner needed
- One Indian resident director is required by law — we help you find a compliant way forward
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Your passport + address proof need an apostille, not an embassy visit
- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing early
After incorporation
- Receive funds through permitted banking channels
- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting (FC-GPR, FLA) and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early

Showing 7 of 7 answers
For casual conversations, often yes. But once real business information changes hands — code, customer lists, financials, product plans — a signed NDA is the only protection you have. Disputes over 'we had an understanding' rarely end well.
Yes — and it is usually the better practice. When both sides will share sensitive information (co-founder talks, partnerships, M&A discussions), a mutual NDA protects everyone.
Typically 2–3 years after disclosure, though trade secrets and some information merit longer. The right duration depends on the information — we advise based on what you are protecting.
An NDA is a civil contract — it gives you the right to sue for breach and seek injunctions. It won't physically stop leaks, which is why the definitions and remedies clauses matter so much.
Most NDAs don't need registration; proper stamping as per your state's Stamp Act is usually sufficient. We advise on the correct stamp duty before execution.
Quote-based and usually quick — a standard draft versus a negotiated markup of a complex counterparty draft. Request a quote.
Happens all the time. We review their draft, mark up the risky clauses — overbroad definitions, one-sided obligations, excessive survival periods — and negotiate on your behalf.
