Non Disclosure Agreement
Protect your business secrets before you share them — lawyer-drafted NDA, customised and delivered in 2 days.
- Legally Enforceable Protection
- One-Way or Mutual
- Precise Scope & Carve-outs
What is Non Disclosure Agreement?
Every pitch, vendor discussion, hiring conversation and partnership exposes your confidential information — customer lists, pricing, code, formulas, strategy. A Non-Disclosure Agreement makes the recipient legally bound to keep it secret and gives you enforceable remedies if they don't.
Taxwapsi's lawyers draft NDAs tailored to your situation — one-way (you disclose) or mutual (both share), with precise definitions of confidential information, permitted use, carve-outs, term and survival, jurisdiction, and remedies including injunctions and damages.
Generic internet templates fail exactly when you need them — vague definitions, missing survival clauses and unenforceable penalties. Our drafts are litigation-tested, India-enforceable under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and delivered with execution guidance (stamping and signing) in 48 hours.
Expert Pro Tip
Always include a survival clause (3–5 years after termination) and define "Confidential Information" by category, not just by marking — courts have refused protection where the definition was too vague to identify what was secret.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an NDA legally enforceable in India?
Yes — as a contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. Courts grant injunctions and damages for breach, provided the NDA is well-drafted: reasonable scope, identifiable confidential information and legitimate business interest. Overbroad "everything forever" drafts are the ones that fail.
One-way or mutual — which do I need?
One-way (unilateral) when only you disclose — pitching, hiring, vendor onboarding. Mutual when both sides share secrets — partnerships, joint development, M&A talks. Mutual NDAs need balanced obligations; we draft both.
Does an NDA need stamp paper and notarisation?
An NDA is valid on plain paper with signatures, but paying nominal stamp duty (₹100–₹500 depending on state) makes it readily admissible as evidence. Notarisation is optional. E-signatures under the IT Act are also valid — we guide the best execution route.
How long should confidentiality last?
Typically 2–5 years from disclosure for business information; trade secrets (formulas, source code) often warrant perpetual protection until the information becomes public. The term must be reasonable to remain enforceable — we calibrate it to your information type.
What remedies do I have if the NDA is breached?
Injunction (court order stopping further disclosure/use — usually the most urgent), damages for proven loss, and account of profits. A well-drafted NDA also includes indemnity and specifies jurisdiction so enforcement is faster.
Can I use one NDA template for everyone?
A master template works for similar low-risk situations (e.g. all vendor evaluations), but investor, employee and technology-partner NDAs differ materially in scope and survival. We can build you a small template set if you sign NDAs frequently.
Do NDAs work against employees?
Confidentiality obligations are enforceable against employees during and after employment. (Note: post-employment non-competes are generally NOT enforceable in India under Section 27 — but confidentiality and non-solicitation, properly drafted, are. We draft accordingly.)
What if the other party refuses to sign?
Refusal to sign a reasonable NDA before receiving sensitive information is itself a signal. Alternatives include limiting disclosure, sharing redacted information, or a shorter confidentiality letter. We advise deal-appropriate fallbacks.
