Starting with one letter that means business. Tell us what happened — a client, employer, or tenant who won't pay — and we turn it into a serve-ready formal legal notice in your own name: the facts, the exact amount demanded, and a firm deadline.
₹299 to download, or ₹799 and we post it by Registered Post A.D. and email you the tracking number. A lawyer charges ₹2,000–5,000 for the same letter. What each price includes.

A lawyer typically charges ₹2,000–5,000 for a comparable letter. See what each of our prices includes.
Here's what a lawyer asks for first when someone owes money — the same list we show once you've bought the notice. Nothing here is a test you can fail: it tells you what to gather, not whether you're allowed to act. (Rent and salary notices ask for a couple of slightly different things once you tell us which is yours below.)
The invoice or bill you raised
It is what fixes the amount. Without it the sum you are demanding is your word against theirs.
If you don't have it: No formal invoice? A dated message or email stating the amount does the same job — add it under Communications.
What the deal was — agreement, work order or purchase order
It shows the money was owed at all, and on what terms. An oral deal is still recoverable, but it has to be proved some other way.
If you don't have it: Nothing signed? The WhatsApp or email thread where the work was agreed is the substitute — add it under Communications.
Proof you delivered or completed the work
The usual defence is 'the work was never done'. Delivery proof closes that door before it opens.
If you don't have it: An acceptance email, a delivery challan, or the files you handed over all count.
The reminders you already sent
They show this notice is not the first you have asked — which is what makes a demand look serious rather than sudden.
If you don't have it: Even one dated message asking for payment helps. Screenshots are fine.
Bank or UPI record of any part-payment
A part-payment can restart the three-year limitation clock, and the demand has to credit what was actually paid.
If you don't have it: If nothing at all was ever paid, you can skip this one.
Missing something? Send it anyway. Most people in a genuine dispute have less on paper than they should. This list is here so you know what to chase, not so you're told to wait.
The law gives you a window, not a wall. Here is what it actually says — never a date, because only you know when the money fell due, and never a verdict on your case, because that is a lawyer's judgment, not this page's.
Suit for money due must generally be filed within 3 years of the amount falling due
Counted from: the day the amount fell due
If you think you're already past it: Being past this period does not close the door by itself — limitation bars the right to sue, not the debt, and a written acknowledgement of the debt or a part-payment since then can restart the clock. If your date is close or already gone, that is a reason to talk to a lawyer this week, not a reason to stop.
Limitation Act, 1963 — Schedule, Part I (e.g. Articles 14/15 price of goods, 18/19 work done or money lent; residuary Article 113)
A formal demand in your own name — the recognised first step, and the one that settles most disputes before a lawyer or a court is ever involved. It is not a court filing.
Agreements.co.in is a document service, not a law firm — we don't give legal advice or guarantee outcomes. You send the notice in your own name and confirm every detail before you pay.
Been sent a notice yourself? Check what it means, free — upload the notice, summons or letter that landed on you and find out what it says and whether it's genuine, in plain English, Tamil, Telugu or Hindi. Nothing to pay, and it's a separate job from sending one of your own.
