How to draft and sign legal agreements with Claude

Claude can write beautiful contract prose — but a chat draft isn’t an executed agreement. This guide shows how connecting Claude to Dharaa turns the conversation itself into the whole workflow: drafting, clause editing, stamp duty, payment, and Aadhaar eSign.

Why a plain Claude draft isn’t enough in India

Three gaps stand between a chat draft and an enforceable Indian agreement. First, stamp duty: an under-stamped agreement is inadmissible as evidence (Section 35, Indian Stamp Act, 1899), and rates differ by state — 0.25% of rent plus deposit in Maharashtra, a flat ₹50 in Delhi for 11-month residential terms. Second, execution: the draft still has to be signed in a legally recognised way; India’s standard is Aadhaar eSign under the IT Act, 2000. Third, structure: enforceable agreements need complete, internally consistent clauses — not just fluent paragraphs.

Step 1 — Connect Dharaa to Claude (about a minute)

In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
Paste Dharaa’s connector URL from the connect page.
Sign in to Dharaa once when prompted (OAuth 2.1).

Works on Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise. Connecting and drafting is free — you pay only when you send an agreement for signing.

Step 2 — Just ask for the agreement

Try: “Draft a mutual NDA between my company and Bharat Ventures LLP for a product partnership.” Dharaa’s surfaces render inside the chat: a party picker for both sides, a short structured form for the facts (term, jurisdiction, purpose), and then the full agreement, clause by clause. Ask for changes in plain words — “make the term 3 years” — and the document re-validates as it updates.

Step 3 — Pay and send for Aadhaar eSign

When the draft is ready, say “send it for signing.” The Review & Sign surface confirms the signing order and contacts, shows the exact price (from ₹149), and takes payment via Razorpay. Signing invitations go out automatically, and every signature is Aadhaar-backed and legally binding under the IT Act — with an audit trail. Later, just ask “has Priya signed yet?” or tell Claude to send a reminder.

What stays under your control

The connector is scoped to your own Dharaa account, and the two actions that matter — paying and signing — always require your explicit confirmation. Claude orchestrates; it never spends or signs on its own. Uploaded PDFs work too: hand Claude a contract you received and say “send this for signing.”
