Note
Free sample documents that were published for public download by DPIIT (Startup India, Government of India) and the organisations named against each file. The name of the source is shown beside every document. Copies are kept on our own server so you can download them without leaving this site. No licence terms were shown where they were published, so if an owner prefers a document not to be listed, tell us and we will remove it. Samples are for reference, not legal advice: have a lawyer check any agreement before you sign. Stamp duty, registration and rules differ by state, and a rental longer than 11 months usually must be registered; verify with your sub-registrar. Reviewed 30 Oct 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Is it free to use these?
The documents are free public downloads shared by Startup India and the organisations named against each file. Each file is a copy kept on our own server and downloads from this site; the source is named against it. No licence terms are shown where they were published, so tell us if an owner wants a document removed.
Why are there no CV templates?
We could not find a free CV template that its owner has clearly allowed to be shared, so none are listed yet.
Are these legally valid?
A sample is only a starting point. Whether an agreement is valid and enforceable depends on its contents, stamping and, in some cases, registration. Always have it checked.
