Your tenant moves in tomorrow. Every stamp vendor is closed.
The old way needs a queue at a stamp vendor, a printout, two people in one place, and a courier. Keep scrolling - watch the new way happen.

Our products
Three ways to get a government e-stamp — tap the one you need. Every certificate is genuine, government-issued and verifiable; stamp duty is always at actuals, shown before you pay.
Not sure how this stacks up?
We put together a side-by-side of DigitalPatra against NoBroker, AgreementDesk, LegalDesk, Rentpaper and others — what each actually charges, how long it takes, and what physical delivery looks like, sourced straight from their own pricing pages.
See the full comparison →One flow. Every agreement, every day.
Starting with rental agreements. The same e-stamp + Aadhaar eSign pipeline works for any document Indian law permits to be signed electronically.
Everything above is live today: start Rental now, build any other type from clauses, upload your own draft for those types instead, or contact us directly for Employment Bond / Indemnity Bond / Franchise Agreement.
Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, negotiable instruments and property sale deeds are excluded from e-signing by law — we don't offer those.
How it works — four steps, zero queues
Tell us the details
Either the Owner or the Tenant starts. Use our lawyer-vetted Karnataka format, or upload photos of your old agreement — we read it and refresh it with the new details.
Both parties review & approve
The Owner reviews the draft first, then the Tenant. Either can request corrections — a revised draft goes back to the Owner for fresh review.
Pay & e-stamp
After both approve, the paying party confirms the exact Karnataka stamp duty and pays. We then buy the genuine Karnataka government e-stamp — typically the same working day for payments before 8 PM — and place your agreement on it. Verifiable at shcilestamp.com.
eSign & delivered
The scanned, e-stamped agreement is sent to both for Aadhaar eSign from their own phones. The signed soft copy is emailed to both — with the e-stamp certificate number to verify on the government site — and the original goes out by India Post Speed Post.
From your chair. Any hour.
Stamp-vendor shops close for the night — DigitalPatra doesn't. Draft, e-stamp and Aadhaar eSign your rental agreement from home, at 11pm or on a Sunday, with no office visit and no waiting for a shop to open.
Built to stand up — not just to look official
✓Legally recognised — Aadhaar eSign is a notified electronic signature method under the IT Act, 2000
✓Identity verified against the Aadhaar database — an OTP to your registered mobile, not an anonymous scribble
✓Tamper-evident — a cryptographic fingerprint locks the document; any later edit is instantly detectable
✓Court-ready evidence — secure electronic records carry statutory presumptions under Indian evidence law
✓Stamp duty sorted — every agreement is e-stamped with the correct Karnataka duty before signing
✓Complete audit trail — signer identity, timestamps and signing events recorded with the document
✓Signed through licensed providers — certificates issued under India's Controller of Certifying Authorities framework
✓Independently verifiable — check the e-stamp certificate number yourself on the government e-stamping website
Tenant Identity Verification, Done For You
Many landlords are advised by their local police station to keep a record of tenant identity verification. DigitalPatra does this automatically — your tenant completes Aadhaar OTP verification as part of signing, and you get a permanent, timestamped confirmation delivered with your agreement. We never store your tenant's full Aadhaar number or a copy of their ID.
How tenant verification works →One transparent price
₹400 service fee per agreement, plus Karnataka stamp duty at actuals (the duty goes into the government e-stamp — we show it to you before you pay). Includes drafting, e-stamp, Aadhaar eSign for both parties, and digital delivery.

Everything you'd otherwise chase down yourself — done in one flow
One flat fee replaces the vendor, the printout, the coordination and the courier. Here's exactly what that trades for what.
What's included, ₹400 flat + stamp duty at actuals
✓A lawyer-vetted Karnataka rental agreement draft — or upload photos of your old one and we lift the format with new details
✓The exact Karnataka stamp duty calculated and paid — a real government challan and certificate number, not an estimate
✓Aadhaar eSign for both landlord and tenant — OTP to each signer's own phone, identity verified against the government database
✓The stamped, signed soft copy emailed to both parties — plus a link to verify the e-stamp yourself on the government site — and the original sent by India Post Speed Post
✓One flow, one point of contact — no separate stamp vendor, notary, or courier to coordinate
What you're skipping — the old way
✕Finding a stamp vendor who's actually open, then queuing for the physical stamp paper
✕Printing the agreement and getting both parties in the same place at the same time to sign
✕Arranging a notary or witness for the signing, on top of everyone's schedules
✕A courier or physical handover to get the signed original between landlord and tenant
✕Redoing some or all of the above if a clause needs a last-minute change
The e-stamp is typically issued the same working day for payments before 8 PM; signing itself takes minutes once both signers have their Aadhaar-linked mobile handy.
Questions people actually ask
Is an online rent agreement with Aadhaar eSign legally valid in Karnataka?
Yes. Electronic signatures are recognised under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and Aadhaar eSign is a notified method issued through government-licensed providers. Combined with the correct Karnataka e-stamp, your agreement is validly stamped and validly signed.
What does it cost?
Rs. 400 service fee for a rental agreement, Rs. 500 for a document you upload or build from clauses - plus government stamp duty at actuals, always shown before payment. No hidden charges, no doorstep-visit fees.
How long does it take?
Your draft is ready right away. After both parties approve and payment is made, we buy the genuine Karnataka government e-stamp - typically the same working day for payments before 8 PM, otherwise the next working day. Your agreement is placed on the e-stamp, scanned, and sent to both parties for Aadhaar eSign from their phones. The signed soft copy is emailed to everyone, and the original is dispatched by India Post Speed Post within 1 working day (usually delivered in 2–5 working days anywhere in India). You never visit a vendor or an office - we do the legwork.
Can landlord and tenant be in different cities?
Yes. Each party signs from their own phone using an OTP sent to their Aadhaar-linked mobile - different cities, or even one party outside India, works fine as long as the property and agreement are under Karnataka jurisdiction.
How do I verify the e-stamp is genuine?
Every agreement we deliver carries its e-stamp certificate number. You can verify it independently on the official government e-stamping website - our delivery email includes the number and a step-by-step verify link.
Why are rent agreements usually 11 months?
Agreements of less than 12 months are not compulsorily registrable in Karnataka, which keeps the process simple and low-cost. Stamp duty is still required - which is exactly what we handle with the e-stamp.
Which documents can NOT be signed electronically?
Indian law excludes wills, trusts, powers of attorney, negotiable instruments, and sale deeds of immovable property from e-signing. Rental and leave-and-licence agreements are NOT excluded - they are fully valid to eSign.
Do you serve states other than Karnataka?
Not yet. We currently generate e-stamps and agreements for Karnataka jurisdiction only.
