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.

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.
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 →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.
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. The government e-stamp certificate is generated — up to one business day — and is verifiable.
eSign & delivered
Both parties sign from their own phones with an Aadhaar OTP. The stamped, signed PDF is emailed to both — with a WhatsApp update when a number is on file, plus a government verification link.
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.

✓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

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 →₹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.

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 PDF emailed to both parties — with a WhatsApp update when a number is on file — plus a link to verify the e-stamp yourself on the government site
✓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
Ready in minutes once both signers have their Aadhaar-linked mobile handy.
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.
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.
Your draft is ready in minutes, and most orders complete the same day. After both parties approve and payment is made, the government e-stamp step can take up to one business day; then both parties eSign from their phones. There is no courier, no printing and no office visit at any step.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Not yet. We currently generate e-stamps and agreements for Karnataka jurisdiction only.
Leave with a stamped, signed, court-ready agreement — before the chai gets cold.
