How does NoLegalPaisa help with DPIIT Recognition (Startup India)?

We guide you through the eligibility criteria, help draft the innovation statement, and manage the application process to help you access tax holidays and government tender benefits.

What is an ESOP and do you assist with its documentation?

ESOP (Employee Stock Option Plan) is a way to reward employees with company equity. We draft the ESOP scheme, policy documents, and grant letters to help you retain top talent.

Why are Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) important?

NDAs protect your proprietary ideas, trade secrets, and sensitive business information when sharing details with potential investors, partners, or new hires.

Are the legal documents in the toolkit customizable?

Yes. While we provide high-quality templates, our legal experts provide 1-on-1 consultation to customize these documents to fit your specific business model and operational needs.

How long does it take to get a startup fully legal-ready?

Incorporation typically takes 7-10 working days. The full suite of legal agreements and website policies is generally finalized within another 7-10 days after your initial inputs.

What is 'Vesting' in the context of founder equity?

Vesting ensures that founders 'earn' their equity over a period (usually 3-4 years), which protects the company if a co-founder decides to leave prematurely.

What post-incorporation compliances are necessary for a new startup?

Once incorporated, startups must complete several mandatory steps including opening a business bank account, appointing a first auditor, issuing share certificates, and filing a declaration of commencement of business (Form INC-20A) within 180 days.

A tale of two founders

Same idea. Two very different journeys.

Both started a D2C food brand in the same month with similar capital. One used the NoLegalPaisa Startup Toolkit. The other tried to stitch it together alone. Here's how their first year played out.

Used the NoLegalPaisa Toolkit

Aarav Mehta

Founder, D2C food brand · Pune

✓
Week 1–2: Pvt Ltd incorporated, PAN/TAN/GST in place, scope frozen on one WhatsApp thread.
✓
Month 1: Founders' agreement & vesting signed — equity and roles crystal clear.
✓
Month 2: DPIIT recognition + trademark filed; brand protected early.
✓
Ongoing: Compliance calendar & reminders — zero missed ROC/GST deadlines.
✓
Month 8: Clean cap table & data room — sailed through investor diligence.

🚀

Closed his first angel round — investor-ready & penalty-free.

Went solo · No toolkit

Rohan Kapoor

Founder, D2C food brand · Delhi

✕
Week 1–6: Juggled 5 vendors; incorporation dragged, GST done late.
✕
Month 2: No founders' agreement — a co-founder exit turned messy.
✕
Month 4: Brand name got picked up by someone else; rebrand cost time & money.
✕
Month 7: Missed ROC & INC-20A deadlines → late fees & penalties.
✕
Month 9: Investor diligence stalled on a messy cap table & missing docs.

⚠️

Burned months & cash on avoidable fixes — funding talks paused.

The difference wasn't the idea. It was the foundation.

The Startup Toolkit turns "I'll figure out the legal stuff later" into "we're compliant, protected and investor-ready" — from day one.

*Illustrative scenario based on common experiences of early-stage Indian founders. Outcomes vary by case.

Toolkit Exclusions

The following are not included in any Toolkit plan and, where applicable, are charged separately at actuals:

Government Fees & Stamp Duty
DSC Generation Charges
Out-of-pocket & Notary Expenses
Additional Document Drafts Beyond Plan Limits
Audit / Account Backlog Work from Previous Financial Years
Third-party / Certifying Authority & Registry Charges

Pricing & Scope

Indicative pricing: The plan prices shown are professional / facilitation fees and are indicative. The final price may vary depending upon the number of partners or directors, business activity, government fees, state-wise stamp duty, pending compliance issues, additional documentation, foreign partners/NRIs, or any special regulatory approvals required.

Government & statutory charges are extra: Government fees, stamp duty, DSC charges, registry / portal charges, taxes and out-of-pocket expenses are not included in the professional fee and are payable separately by the client at actuals.

Drafting & Review Limits

Document drafting and review are subject to reasonable fair-usage and standard revision limits as specified in each plan. Drafts or reviews beyond the stated plan limits are chargeable. Turnaround times are indicative and depend on timely inputs and approvals from the client.

Compliance & Timelines

Filing timelines depend on the relevant authority (MCA / RoC, GST, Income Tax, IP India, DPIIT, etc.), accuracy of documents and government processing. Incorporation typically takes 7–10 working days; the full suite of agreements and website policies is generally finalised within a further 7–10 days after your inputs. NoLegalPaisa does not control and cannot guarantee government processing times or the outcome of any application or registration.

No Guarantee of Outcome

Recognition, registration, trademark grant, tax benefits and funding outcomes are at the sole discretion of the relevant authorities, registries or third parties. NoLegalPaisa does not and cannot guarantee approval, grant, registration or funding. Our role is limited to professional facilitation, drafting and filing support.

Plan Changes & Validity

Service durations stated in a plan (e.g. "12 Months" GST filing, "1 Year" ITR) run from the date of engagement or as otherwise agreed in writing. Unused services within a plan are not transferable or refundable unless stated. NoLegalPaisa may revise plan inclusions and pricing from time to time; the scope frozen at the time of your order applies to your engagement.
