Draft GST-Compliant Contracts in Minutes — Contract Intelligence for Indian Businesses
2026-06-12 · 4 min read
Every business in India signs contracts. Most of them are wrong — missing the GST clause, silent on TDS deduction obligations, or using a template from 2015 that does not account for the DPDP Act 2023. Getting a lawyer to review or draft a routine NDA costs ₹5,000 to ₹15,000. For a small business signing 10 contracts a month, that is ₹50,000 to ₹1,50,000 a year in legal fees for paperwork.
What Contract Intelligence Does
Contract Intelligence generates complete, court-ready contracts from a structured brief. You choose the document type, fill in the parties and key commercial terms, and the AI produces a draft in 20–30 seconds. Every draft includes the clauses that Indian contracts actually need:
- GST clause — correct rate (18% for services, 12% or 5% for specific categories), invoicing obligations, GSTIN requirements for both parties
- TDS clause — correct section (194J for professional services at 10%, 194C for contractors at 2%), deduction mechanics, Form 16A issuance obligation
- Stamp duty note — state-specific requirement flagged (Maharashtra, Karnataka, Delhi, Gujarat, Telangana)
- Arbitration clause — under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, seat in your chosen city
- DPDP Act 2023 — data processing consent clause where personal data is involved
Eight Document Types, Five Jurisdictions
Contract Intelligence covers the most common instruments in Indian commercial practice: NDA, Service Agreement, Employment/Offer Letter, Vendor Agreement, Shareholders Agreement, Loan Agreement, Commercial Lease, and Freelance/Contractor Agreement. Each template has structured fields — party names, entity types, fees, GST rate, TDS section — so the output is specific to your transaction, not a generic template.
Jurisdiction is selectable: Mumbai (Maharashtra), Bengaluru (Karnataka), New Delhi, Ahmedabad (Gujarat), or Hyderabad (Telangana). The governing law clause and court jurisdiction adjust accordingly.
AI Risk Review
If you receive a contract from a counterparty, upload it to the Review tab. The AI flags missing or problematic clauses — no GST treatment on a commercial agreement, a non-compete exceeding reasonable scope, a liability exclusion that may not survive scrutiny under the Indian Contract Act, missing TDS provisions. Each flag includes the specific legal basis.
Pricing
Contract Intelligence is available as an add-on to any Klaro Books plan at ₹999/month for 10 contracts. Three trial contracts are included with every Books trial at no charge.
