After you download

  1. Fill every [BRACKETED PLACEHOLDER] before signing — open the downloaded file and search for "[" to catch any you missed.
  2. Check stamp duty for your state — many Indian documents are only enforceable on adequate stamp paper or e-stamp; the amount varies by state and document type.
  3. Sign as required — check whether the document needs witnesses, and whether all parties must initial each page.
  4. Check registration — some documents (e.g. certain leases, gift deeds) must be registered with the Sub-Registrar to be fully effective.
  5. Keep signed originals safe and give every party a copy; note any filing, renewal, or compliance deadlines the document creates.
