Legal Documentation Questions
Is an NDA enforceable in India?+
Yes — NDAs are enforceable under the Indian Contract Act 1872 if all basic contract requirements are met. Key elements for enforceability: clear definition of Confidential Information with specific exclusions; restricted use and disclosure obligations; duration; return/destruction on termination; injunctive relief provision; and governing law. Overly broad post-termination non-compete clauses in NDAs may be unenforceable under Section 27 of the Contract Act.
Is a Shareholders Agreement binding on the company itself?+
An SHA binds the shareholders who are party to it. However, where SHA provisions conflict with the Articles of Association (AOA), the AOA generally prevails against the company under Companies Act 2013. The SHA remains binding inter se between shareholders. It is advisable to align SHA governance provisions with the AOA or incorporate key provisions into the AOA through amendment, subject to MCA filing requirements.
Are post-termination non-compete clauses enforceable in India?+
Post-termination non-compete clauses are generally difficult to enforce in India under Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act 1872, which declares agreements in restraint of trade void. Indian courts have consistently held that broad post-employment non-competes are void. However, time-limited non-solicitation clauses (protecting client relationships and employees) are more likely to be upheld. Confidentiality obligations post-termination are generally enforceable.
