How to Legally E-Sign Business Contracts & NDAs Online

⏱️ Estimated time: 3 minutes•Level: Beginner•Updated for FY 2026-27

Executing contracts by printing, signing with a pen, scanning, and emailing is slow and prone to signature disputes. Electronic signatures are legally recognized under Section 10A of the IT Act, 2000.

What you will need before starting:

  • Contract or proposal draft
  • Signer email address and phone number
  • Authorized signatory designation

Step-by-step instructions

1

Upload or Generate Contract from Template

Choose from VoyceBook's pre-approved standard agreements (Master Services Agreement, Non-Disclosure Agreement, Retainer Contract) or upload your custom agreement.

Pro Tip: VoyceBook automatically inserts client details from your proposal.
2

Place Signature & Date Fields

Assign designated signature lines for both the First Party (your company) and Second Party (client/vendor), including full legal name, designation, and date.

3

Dispatch for Secure Digital Execution

The recipient receives a secure one-time link. They can draw, type, or stamp their verified signature without creating an account or installing any software.

Pro Tip: Multi-party sequential signing ensures department heads sign before external clients receive the document.
4

Receive Cryptographically Sealed Audit Certificate

Once executed, VoyceBook locks the document with a 256-bit hash, preventing any post-signature tampering, and generates a Section 65B-compliant audit trail.

Best practices & compliance notes

Ensure signers have documented authority (e.g., board resolution or partnership deed authorization) to bind the company.
Store signed agreements in your VoyceBook client vault with milestone tracking.
