Overview
What this agreement actually covers
A freelancer agreement is the contract between a business and an independent freelancer for project-based work.
It defines the scope and deliverables, timelines and milestones, and the fee and payment schedule.
IP ownership is the critical clause — work created by a freelancer doesn't automatically belong to you without an assignment.
Standard protections include confidentiality, revision limits, termination terms, and independent-contractor status.
It should also address TDS on payments to the freelancer, per income tax provisions.
Benefits

Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
You own what you paid for
IP assignment is drafted explicitly — designs, code, content, and all deliverables transfer to you on payment.
Scope with boundaries
Deliverables, revision rounds, and what's out of scope are defined, so projects don't expand endlessly.
Payment tied to milestones
We structure payments against deliverables, so both sides always know exactly where they stand.
Reusable template
One well-drafted template serves all your freelance engagements, with a simple work-order schedule per project.
Documents
What we need from you

If a founder or investor is outside India
Foreign ownership is possible in many sectors, but it adds document authentication, banking and FEMA work. Set the route before funds move.
Plan before you start
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Confirm the Indian resident director arrangement
- 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

Yes — a master template with a per-project work order is the standard approach, and it's what we draft.
The agreement's milestone structure, termination clause, and IP provisions give you remedies — including engaging someone else to complete the work.
Absolutely. We draft freelancer-side agreements with payment protection, kill fees, and IP release tied to payment.
