When you need it

A manufacturer, trader or service business in Punjab or Chandigarh appoints an agent to find customers and take orders for its goods or services for a commission on the sales. The agent does not buy the goods or hold stock: the sale is between the principal and the customer, and the agent is paid only when the principal's sale is made and money comes in.

Read more

The agreement fixes the products and the area, whether the agent is the only one there, the commission rate and when it is earned and paid, what the agent may and may not promise to customers, the statements and records the principal owes, and how either side can end it. It is written so that the agent is an independent agent, not an employee, and cannot sign contracts for the principal unless the principal says so. Not for a person who buys the goods and resells them for their own profit (use the Distributor or Dealership Agreement). Not for a dealer in property (use the broker agreements). Not for an employee on commission (use an employment letter).

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Stamp duty depends on what the paper does and on the Schedule to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 as applied in Punjab and in Chandigarh. An agreement of this kind is usually charged as an agreement not otherwise provided for, at a modest fixed figure, but the figure is not stated here: confirm it on the official e-stamping portal or with the Sub-Registrar before buying the stamp. If a clause makes the paper in substance something else (a transfer of property, a lease, a power of attorney, a guarantee), it is charged as that. An under-stamped paper cannot be used as evidence until the deficit and penalty are paid.

Registration

Not compulsorily registrable unless it creates or transfers a right in immovable property (section 17, Registration Act, 1908); this paper is not meant to. Registration is optional if the parties want it.

Notarisation

Not required by law, and not a substitute for stamping. A notary only records that the signatories appeared and signed, which makes it harder to deny a signature later. Carry original photo ID.

Witnesses

Not required by law, but two adult witnesses who are not parties, each writing name, address and ID reference beside the signature, make a later denial harder.

1.3 The Agent is an independent agent, not an employee or partner of the Principal, chooses how to carry out the work and bears its own costs, including travel and staff, unless the Principal agrees in writing to meet a particular cost.

The Agent has no authority to sign any contract for the Principal, to change a price or term, to collect money for the Principal, or to give any promise, discount or credit the Principal has not approved in writing.

2.2 Each order is an offer to the Principal. The Principal may accept or refuse any order, in whole or in part, for any good reason such as stock, credit risk or price, and shall tell the Agent of its decision within a reasonable time. The sale is a contract between the Principal and the customer, and the Principal alone invoices, delivers and collects payment.

2.3 The Agent shall act honestly, put the Principal's interest first in the work, tell the Principal promptly of any customer complaint, and not take on, during this Agreement, an agency for goods that directly compete with the Products in the area, without the Principal's written consent.

3.2 By the 10th day of each month the Principal shall send the Agent a written statement of the sales made and money received in the previous month for the Agent's customers, and pay the commission earned. The Agent may, on reasonable notice, inspect the Principal's records of those sales. If a sale is cancelled or goods are returned and the price refunded, the commission on it is reversed against the next payment.
