Getting started
Trying LexVio before you commit to anything.
Is there a free way to try LexVio?
Yes. A free public contract scanner is available at /scan with no account required, allowing up to 3 scans per day.
What does Legal AI do?
Legal AI reviews contracts in about 30 seconds. Upload a PDF or DOCX, or paste text, and it returns a complete risk report with AI redlining and fix suggestions plus a Legal Health Score from 0 to 100.
Do we need an in-house legal team to use it?
No. LexVio is built for businesses without dedicated counsel, though it is not a substitute for a lawyer on high-stakes matters, where you can connect with an advocate through the marketplace.
Do I need to know how to code to build a workflow agent?
No. Workflow Agents use a no-code builder, so you can assemble multi-step automations without writing code, or start from one of the 50+ pre-built agents.
Can we deploy more than one module?
Yes. Enterprises can deploy Legal AI, Compliance AI, Tax AI, and Workflow Agents together as a multi-module rollout.
Product
What the AI actually does, and where its edges are.
How accurate is LexVio for Indian law?
LexVio's Legal AI is trained on the Indian Contract Act 1872, Companies Act 2013, SEBI regulations, and GST provisions. Fine-tuned on Indian contract types — not generic English-language contracts. AI output is a starting point and is not a substitute for advocate review on high-stakes matters.
Is LexVio a replacement for a lawyer?
No — and we're honest about that. LexVio accelerates legal work. For high-stakes transactions — M&A, litigation, regulatory investigations — you need a qualified advocate. Our marketplace connects you with verified advocates when you do.
Which laws and courts does the research cover?
The model is trained on Indian law, including the Indian Contract Act 1872, the Companies Act 2013, and SEBI regulations. It also runs court research across Indian Supreme Court, High Court, and NCLT judgments, with a citation graph showing how cases cite one another.
Is every Indian judgment in the corpus?
No corpus is complete; we publish the cutoff date inside the search UI. Our coverage prioritises commercial and corporate law jurisdictions.
How are overruling flags determined?
Combination of automated NLP extraction and editorial review for high-traffic cases. Reach out if you find a missing flag.
How is the Legal Health Score computed?
Weighted blend of per-clause risk scores with category-specific multipliers. Methodology is published in the docs once the product hits GA.
Can I add my own templates?
Yes — admins can upload firm-specific templates with custom parameters. Workspace-scoped or shared org-wide.
How do you handle a 1000-page document?
Use bulk analysis to chunk it across multiple calls, or split it into logical sections. Single-call cap stays at 200K input tokens.
What does Compliance AI do?
Compliance AI monitors your regulatory obligations and alerts you 14 days before each deadline, so filings are never missed. It also tracks regulatory changes as they happen.
How is Tax AI different from a tax calculator?
Instead of generic inputs, Tax AI reads your actual contracts and filings to reason about tax treatment. It also includes a TDS calculator and TRACES integration.
What happens if my webhook endpoint is down?
We retry with exponential backoff for 24 hours. After that, the event goes to the failed-delivery queue for manual replay from admin.
Pricing & plans
Limits, billing, invoices, and what happens when you leave.
What's included in the free plan?
3 contract scans/month, top 3 risks per scan (fix suggestions are on paid plans), basic India legal layer, and 500 MB vault storage. The free public scanner at /scan gives 3 additional scans per day with no account.
Can I change or cancel my plan anytime?
Yes. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel from account settings at any time. Cancellations take effect at end of billing period. 7-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans, no questions asked.
Do unused reviews roll over?
No. Monthly limits reset on your billing date. Unused reviews do not carry over. If you consistently exceed your limit, upgrading is typically more cost-effective than rollover credits.
Do you provide GST-compliant invoices?
Yes. All paid plans include GST-compliant tax invoices (GSTIN: 07AOVPR7411P1ZY, Delhi). GST at 18% added at checkout per Indian tax law. Invoices emailed automatically each billing cycle.
Can I request a credit note for a partial cancellation?
Yes — partial-period cancellations issue a credit note per CGST Act §34, with the corresponding refund.
Is there a free tier on the API?
API access is included on Business and Enterprise plans. Pay-as-you-go API-only plans available — contact sales.
Is LexVio affordable for students?
Yes. LexVio offers affordable and free access for students, and anyone can try the free document scanner at /scan.
Security & data
Where your documents sit, who can read them, and what the models are allowed to do with them.
Is my data secure? Who sees my contracts?
Contracts are encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). No LexVio employee reads your documents. We do not train our models on your data without explicit consent. DPDP Act 2023 aligned. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications are on our roadmap — see /trust for current status.
Where exactly does my data live?
Primary in AWS ap-south-1 (Mumbai). Encrypted backups replicated to a secondary AWS India region. Sub-processor outbound is per the DPA.
Is this compliant with RBI's data-localisation directive?
We position to be — confirm your specific obligations with your compliance counsel. The DPA documents the technical and contractual safeguards.
What telemetry do you collect — model latency, error rates?
We collect aggregated, content-free telemetry to monitor model health. No customer content leaves to power this — only timings and error categories.
Does my document content get cached?
No — only the stable prefix (system prompts, model instructions, firm style). Your document content is never cached.
Is your prompt-injection defence provably injection-proof?
No defence is perfect. We layer multiple controls and continuously update — but we don't make absolute claims.
Does LexVio support SSO and role-based access?
Yes. Enterprise deployments support single sign-on and role-based access controls for managing teams across multiple modules.
Can I forward audit events to my SIEM?
Enterprise plans support outbound webhooks for audit events — wire into Splunk, Datadog, or any HTTP endpoint.
Can we use a self-hosted LLM?
Yes — on-prem deployments can be configured to route to a self-hosted LLM (vLLM, TGI, etc.) instead of Anthropic. Performance tuning depends on the chosen model.
Can I cap AI spend per workspace?
Enterprise plans support per-workspace caps in addition to org-level. Other plans cap at the org level.
Is my contract stored when I use the free scanner?
Public scans are processed in memory and not stored against any account. Logs are aggregated, not content-level.
Does WhatsApp see my contracts?
Yes — WhatsApp messages traverse Meta's infrastructure end-to-end encrypted, but Meta sees that you sent a file to the LexVio bot. For full confidentiality, use the LexVio app directly.
India & jurisdiction
The statutory questions that come up most often — and where the answers are worked out in full.
Does LexVio cover SEBI, RBI, and GST compliance?
Yes — Compliance AI, our second module. Monitors SEBI (listed company obligations, insider trading), RBI (FEMA, ECB, ODI), MCA/ROC (annual filings, board resolutions), and GST (return deadlines, notices). Alerts 14 days before each deadline.
When does the Income-tax Act, 2025 actually take effect?
1 April 2026. The Income-tax Act, 2025 (Act 30 of 2025) received presidential assent on 21 August 2025, and the Income-tax Act, 1961 stands repealed on 01.04.2026. Nothing about your FY 2025-26 numbers changes on that date — only the law that governs income earned from 1 April 2026 onwards.
Which Act do I use for the return I file in 2026?
The Income-tax Act, 1961. The split is by income year, not by filing date. Income of FY 2025-26 is Assessment Year 2026-27 and stays on the 1961 Act and its section numbers, even though you file it during 2026. Income earned between 1 April 2026 and 31 March 2027 is 'Tax Year 2026-27' and runs on the 2025 Act. For a while, both Acts are live at the same time.
Why can I not find Section 194J or 194C in the new Act?
Because they no longer exist as sections. Roughly forty TDS sections — the 194-series along with 193, 195, the 196-series and 197A — collapse into Chapter XIX-B, sections 392 to 402, and almost all deduction obligations now live inside tables in section 393. Instead of citing 194J you cite section 393(1), Table Sl. No. 6(iii); instead of 194C you cite section 393(1), Table Sl. No. 6(i). The rates and thresholds carry over unchanged.
Does a compliance due date move if it falls on a Sunday or a holiday?
No — not automatically. Tax portals (GST, e-filing, EPFO, ESIC, MCA V3, FLAIR) accept filings and payments 24x7, so regulators treat the calendar date as binding and grant relief only by ad-hoc notification. Section 10 of the General Clauses Act 1897 (the next-working-day rule) helps for physical filings with offices and courts, but should not be relied on for online tax payments.
Is DIR-3 KYC still an annual filing?
No. Rule 12A was substituted by the Companies (Appointment and Qualification of Directors) Amendment Rules 2025 (notified 31 December 2025, effective 31 March 2026). DIN holders now file Form DIR-3 KYC Web once every third consecutive financial year, by 30 June — no longer annually by 30 September. Directors compliant through FY 2025-26 are next due 30 June 2028. Changes to mobile, email or address must still be reported within 30 days, and a defaulted DIN is deactivated with a ₹5,000 fee to reactivate.
Why do stamp duty rates vary so much between states?
Stamp duty is a state subject under the Indian Constitution (Entry 63, State List). Each state runs its own stamp act or amends the central Indian Stamp Act, 1899. Maharashtra charges 5-6% on sale deeds, Karnataka 3-5%, Delhi 4-6% with separate 1% registration. Claims about national averages are meaningless — always check your specific state.
What happens if I sign an under-stamped document?
Under Section 35 of the Indian Stamp Act, an under-stamped document is inadmissible as evidence in court. The penalty for under-stamping is up to 10 times the deficient duty. Courts can impound the document and refer it to the Collector for adjudication. You can validate later by paying the deficit plus penalty, but the document is unusable until then.
Is an NDA enforceable in India?
Yes. NDAs are enforceable as contracts under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, provided they meet the basic requirements: lawful consideration, free consent, and a lawful object. Indian courts have consistently upheld confidentiality clauses, though they scrutinise non-compete restrictions strictly under Section 27 — only reasonable, time-bound, and territorially-limited restraints survive.
Can a court condone the delay if I file a suit late?
No. Section 5 of the Limitation Act applies only to appeals and applications, never to suits — and s.3 requires a time-barred suit to be dismissed 'although limitation has not been set up as a defence'. For suits, only the computation rules (ss.12-15), the fraud/mistake postponement in s.17, and a s.18 acknowledgment or s.19 part-payment made before expiry can help.
Why India-specific templates?
Most free legal templates online are drafted for Delaware or England. They miss the things that actually decide enforceability here: Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act voiding most non-competes, stamp duty and registration varying by state, ESOP perquisite tax at exercise, the labour codes that replaced 29 central acts in May 2026, and DPDP obligations that are not GDPR obligations.
Does any part of the DPDP Act apply to my company right now?
It depends on the date, because G.S.R. 843(E) split commencement into three. On 13 November 2025 only the Data Protection Board framework came into force. On 13 November 2026 exactly one thing commences — Consent Manager registration. On 13 May 2027 the operative regime lands: the notice, consent, rights, breach-reporting and penalty provisions.
Free tools & templates
The public utilities — what they cost, where they run, and how far to trust them.
Are the templates really free?
Yes. Free to use, copy, modify and redistribute, including commercially, with no attribution and no signup. We would rather Indian founders start from a sound draft than from a US template that ignores the Companies Act.
Can I use the templates without a lawyer?
You can, and for a straightforward founders' agreement or offer letter many teams do. But these are starting points, not advice. Anything with money, equity or a regulator on the other side deserves an advocate or company secretary reading it before signature — the review is far cheaper than the dispute.
How current are the templates?
Templates are reviewed against changes in Indian law on a published cadence, and every review is recorded. The set was last reviewed on 2026-08-19, after the Income-tax Act 2025 came into force and the four labour codes' central rules were notified.
Do I need to pay stamp duty on a template agreement?
Almost certainly, and the amount depends on your state and the instrument. An insufficiently stamped agreement is inadmissible in evidence in India — a uniquely painful failure mode, because the document looks fine right up until the moment you need it in court. The stamp duty calculator covers 22 states.
Can my AI agent read the templates?
Yes. The library is served by a public JSON API at /api/v1/public/templates, and the licence and disclaimer travel inside every response so the terms cannot be separated from the text.
Do my quiz answers leave the browser?
No. The DPDP readiness quiz runs entirely in your browser's memory. There is no API call, no analytics event carrying your answers, no email gate and no stored report — refreshing the page clears everything. The print button hands the page to your own browser's print dialogue so you can save a PDF locally; nothing is uploaded to produce it.
Does the GSTIN validator send anything to a server?
No. The validation runs entirely in your browser using local JavaScript — the GSTIN never leaves your device. You can verify by opening the browser's network tab while validating. For the deeper portal-based verification (active/cancelled, legal name), you would need to query the GSTN API or use the public search at gst.gov.in.
Is the section mapper the government's official correspondence utility?
No. CBDT publishes its own utility on incometaxindia.gov.in and you should treat that as the authority. This page is grounded in the ICAI Direct Taxes Committee's concordance plus the bare statutory text of the 2025 Act, and every row shows its source and a confidence badge. Rows we could not confirm are shown as gaps rather than filled in with a plausible guess.
