ComplyKart Services
A consultancy agreement that protects both sides of the table
Consulting engagements go wrong on the same few things: unclear scope, late payments, and who owns the work product. A properly drafted consultancy agreement settles all of it upfront — so the relationship runs on the work, not on arguments about the work.

Overview
What this agreement actually covers
A consultancy agreement is the contract between a consultant (individual or firm) and a client, defining services, deliverables, fees, and duration.
It fixes the scope of work precisely — what the consultant will and will not do — which is where most disputes begin.
Standard clauses cover payment terms, confidentiality, intellectual property ownership, non-compete and non-solicitation, termination, and liability limits.
It should clarify the consultant's independent status — not an employee — to avoid PF, ESI, and employment-law complications.
Well-drafted agreements also handle expense reimbursement, dispute resolution, and governing law.
Benefits
Why businesses get this drafted through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Scope disputes prevented
We define deliverables and exclusions in concrete terms, so 'I thought that was included' never becomes a fight.
Payment terms with teeth
Milestones, due dates, late-payment consequences, and expense handling are written to be enforceable, not decorative.
IP ownership settled
Who owns reports, models, and methods created during the engagement is decided in the agreement — not discovered in a dispute.
Independent-contractor clarity
The agreement properly establishes consultant status, keeping employment-law and tax complications away.

- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing
- Allow time for apostilled or consularised documents
Plan for after setup
- Receive funds through permitted banking channels
- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early

Typically 2–4 working days for the first draft, then a review round or two. Urgent drafts can usually be expedited.
You can, but templates don't know your fee structure, IP position, or risk profile. The cost of one dispute dwarfs the cost of a proper draft.
Whoever the agreement says. Without a clause, ownership can be contested — we make sure the agreement states it explicitly.
It depends on the engagement's sensitivity. We draft reasonable, enforceable restrictions — overly broad non-competes often don't hold up.
A consultant is an independent contractor: no employment benefits, no employer control over working hours, and different tax treatment. The agreement must reflect that distinction clearly.
Stamp duty applies as per your state's schedule; registration is generally not required for consultancy agreements. We advise on execution formalities.
Yes — review and redlining is a common request. We mark up the client's draft with protective changes and explain each one.
