Free freelancer contract template for India (2026) — AI-generated, legally sound

Get a free, legally-sound freelance contract template for India. AI-generated from your WhatsApp chat, covers scope, milestones, payment, IP, and jurisdiction.

Most freelance contract templates online are generic — written for US/UK law, missing Indian-specific clauses (GST, TDS, IT Act e-signatures), and requiring you to fill in dozens of fields manually.

Pakkawork generates a complete, India-jurisdiction freelance contract from your actual WhatsApp conversation or a simple form. It's free for your first 3 projects — no credit card, no lawyer needed.

What the template covers

  • Parties, scope, deliverables, and acceptance criteria
  • Fees, milestones, and payment schedule
  • GST/TDS obligations
  • Late payment interest (2% per month as per standard practice)
  • Revision limits to prevent scope creep
  • IP ownership (transfers only on full payment)
  • Confidentiality and limitation of liability
  • Governing law: Indian law, with arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996
  • OTP-based electronic acknowledgement under the IT Act, 2000

How to get yours

Sign up free at pakkawork.com, paste your WhatsApp chat (or fill the form), and the AI generates a complete, customized contract in under 2 minutes. Your client acknowledges it with an OTP — no account or app needed on their side.
