SignFlow

Yes. The Information Technology Act 2000 recognises electronic records and signatures, and what makes one hold up in practice is evidence: who signed, that they controlled the address or phone the code went to, and that the document has not changed since. Every SignFlow document carries an audit trail and a fingerprint anybody can check. Note that a few instruments — a will, a negotiable instrument, a power of attorney, a trust deed and a sale of immovable property — are excluded by the Act's First Schedule and cannot be signed electronically at all.

No, and we will not call it one. An Aadhaar eSign under section 3A is issued by an ESP empanelled with the Controller of Certifying Authorities, and we are not one. What SignFlow does is verify the signer's identity against Aadhaar and record that it did, which is a section 5 electronic signature backed by real evidence of who was at the other end.

We quote the duty for the instrument and your state where the rule is one we can stand behind, you buy the e-stamp, and SignFlow binds it to the document: the certificate becomes page one, its UIN is recorded, and the stamp is applied before anybody signs. That order is not a preference — section 17 of the Indian Stamp Act requires stamping before or at execution, and an unstamped instrument is inadmissible until the duty is paid with a penalty. Buying the stamp inside SignFlow is not built yet.

We did, and they are reviewed in house rather than by an advocate — each one says so to the parties who sign it. They are a sound starting point for ordinary agreements. For anything with real money or real risk in it, have your own lawyer read it first.

Because the shape of this work is one sender and many signers. A landlord with eleven flats, an agency with fifty freelancers and a clinic with a rotating roster all have one person doing the sending — and per-seat pricing charges them for the signers, who will never log in again. You are billed for documents sent, and your whole team can use the account.

It is stored privately and served only to the parties and your team, never from a public URL. The signed PDF's SHA-256 fingerprint goes to everyone who signed, and the public verification page confirms a copy is intact without revealing what is in it. Delete it and it is gone from storage, not just hidden.
