What this costs, and what you get for it

How sending a legal notice actually works

The law this document is drafted against — sources last read 25 August 2026

We last opened the official published source for each provision below on 25 August 2026 and confirmed the text we cite is still there. That is a check of the source, not advice about your situation.

“But we never signed anything.”

A written contract is not what makes money owed to you. Bank transfers, UPI history, invoices, delivery proof, a bounced cheque, and WhatsApp or email where they accept the amount are all evidence, and a notice can be built on them. Most people who tell us they have “nothing in writing” turn out to have a payment trail. The form asks you for exactly what you do have.

You (the Sender)
The person or business whose contract rights were breached.
The Recipient
Who broke the contract, and where the notice will be delivered.

Where the notice will be posted — a deliverable postal address.

The contract and the breach
Describe the deal, how it was broken, and what you want done now.

work order, service agreement, email deal...

Optional.

Optional.

How long they get to respond or comply. 15 days is customary.

Optional. Mention calls, emails, or messages already sent.

Optional but worth filling. The town or city where the contract was made or was to be performed. Courts there can hear the case, and a defendant's first move is often to say you filed in the wrong place. Left blank, the notice says nothing about it.

Optional — one clause, in your own words. Describe the breach, not the signing.

Choose delivery
Pick the notice kit only, or have the notice sent for you.

Evidence & Supporting Documents

Add anything that supports your claim — an invoice, a WhatsApp chat, a payment screenshot, even a handwritten notebook. This is optional, but a notice backed by proof carries far more weight.

Your evidence: Nothing added yet

0 of 5

You have not added any evidence yet. You can still send the notice — but the items below are what a lawyer asks for first, and gathering them now is far easier than later.

What to gather

  • The contract itself — every page, with any annexures and amendmentsMost importantEverything turns on what was actually promised. The clause you are relying on, the deadline, and where a dispute has to be filed are all read off this document.Nothing signed? An oral or email contract is still a contract — add the purchase order, the quotation you accepted, or the thread where the terms were agreed, under Communications.
  • Proof you did your own side — delivery, handover, or completionMost importantThe most common answer to a breach notice is that you breached first. Showing your part was done closes that door before it opens.A signed acknowledgement, a delivery challan, a courier tracking record, or the handover email all do this job.
  • The record of what they failed to do, and whenA breach is a specific failure on a specific date. This is what turns 'they let us down' into a dated fact the notice can name.Whatever shows the gap — a stock or project record, photographs of defective work, or a screenshot of the listing or page that proves what was promised.

This is a checklist of what a lawyer usually asks for first — not a judgement about your case, and never a reason you cannot send the notice. We go by how you describe each item; nobody opens your files to check them, so tick things off honestly — the list is only useful if it is true. You can add more evidence at any time, and only you and our team can see what you upload.
