What we actually checked, and when.
1. Update the jurisdiction. This template is drafted with placeholder city/state fields — replace them with your own business's actual location, not any example city shown in the document.
2. Print on valid stamp paper. This PDF is a drafting template, not an executable legal document on its own. Under the Indian Stamp Act, most agreements need to be printed on physical stamp paper (or e-stamped) of the correct value for your state before signing — an unstamped agreement may be inadmissible as evidence until the deficiency is paid. Confirm the correct stamp duty and process for your state before execution.
