Question 1

What is the Being Vakil Legal Plan?

Accepted Answer

The Being Vakil Legal Plan is a specialized enterprise subscription legal service built for MSMEs, startups, and established enterprises in India. It transitions unpredictable, crisis-driven legal spending into a fixed, predictable annual operational budget (OPEX). Subscribers gain comprehensive access to proactive advisory services, standardized contract engineering, intellectual property safeguarding, and pre-litigation dispute mitigation. The annual fee includes Being Vakil Legal Intelligence™ for contract review inside Microsoft Word.

Question 2

Who actually delivers the legal services under the Legal Plan?

Accepted Answer

Services are managed through iuraverse Technologies Pvt Ltd in collaboration with its associate legal entities and an empanelled nationwide network of over 6,000+ vetted lawyers, Chartered Accountants (CAs), and Company Secretaries (CS) across India. This delivery structure ensures that businesses receive hyper-localized legal and regulatory expertise across Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Indian jurisdictions while benefiting from centralized digital workflow management, standardized quality control, and strict SLA compliance.

Question 3

How does the 'Preventive-First' methodology benefit my company?

Accepted Answer

Traditional legal models engage lawyers only after a lawsuit or formal commercial dispute has already erupted, resulting in exorbitant costs, strained business relationships, and heavy operational disruptions. The preventive-first methodology emphasizes early risk detection. By auditing agreements before signing, standardizing vendor and employee terms, securing trademark assets early, and issuing formal legal notices at the first sign of breach, Being Vakil neutralizes legal vulnerabilities before they escalate into courtroom disputes.

Question 4

What occurs if my company exceeds its allocated contract or notice limit?

Accepted Answer

Services requested beyond your plan’s designated annual allowance (such as the 5-contract cap on Starter or 10-contract cap on Growth) continue seamlessly without any service stoppage or downtime. Overages are billed at transparent, pre-negotiated preferential rates established specifically for subscription holders, ensuring you never pay market-rate emergency premiums.

Question 5

Are government fees, stamp duties, and court fees covered under the subscription fee?

Accepted Answer

No. In strict compliance with regulatory standards and clear fee transparency, subscription pricing covers professional legal services, advocate counsel, drafting, vetting, and case management. All third-party statutory and governmental costs, including court fee stamps, government trademark filing fees, state stamp duties for contract execution, registration fees, and courier dispatch charges, are excluded from the plan fee and billed directly at actual cost.

Question 6

How are complex Intellectual Property (IP) matters handled?

Accepted Answer

Standard domestic trademark application filings and class classification searches are included within the Growth and Pro tiers (or provided at subsidized cost under the Starter tier). If a trademark application receives formal examination objections (MIS), faces third-party opposition proceedings, or involves complex patent drafting and international WIPO Madrid filings, the matter is handled as a specialized service at preferential subscriber discount rates.

Question 7

What happens if a commercial dispute escalates into active court litigation or arbitration?

Accepted Answer

Being Vakil Legal Plans focus heavily on pre-litigation resolution through demand notices, formal warning letters, and structured settlement mediation. If a dispute cannot be resolved out of court and requires formal advocate appearance before a judicial court, statutory tribunal (NCLT, DRT), or arbitration panel, subscribers transition into our empanelled litigation advocate network with maximum preferred discount structures.

Question 8

Does the plan cover tax audits and regulatory representation?

Accepted Answer

Advisory support, internal compliance reviews, audit preparations, and drafting official written responses to tax or regulatory notices are included in the Growth and Pro plans. Direct in-person advocate representation before tax appellate tribunals (ITAT, GST Appellate Authority) or statutory enforcement bodies is provided at preferential subscriber fee schedules.

Question 9

What is the duration of a Legal Plan, and how do renewals work?

Accepted Answer

All Legal Plans are active for a standard validity period of 12 continuous months from the date of subscription activation. Plan renewals occur annually based on the prevailing rate cards at the time of renewal, ensuring uninterrupted access to advocate consultations, contract drafting workflows, and legal protection. The price shown is a monthly rate, billed once a year, with GST at 18%. Razorpay collects that payment as a single order. A 2 Years Package is available at 10% off the annual fee. Being Vakil Legal Intelligence™ included in the plan is part of the same fee.

Question 10

What is the cancellation and refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Policyholders may cancel their Legal Plan within 30 calendar days of initial purchase to receive a prorated refund, subject to standard deductions for any utilized consultation hours, completed contract drafts, or issued legal notices during that period. Subscriptions become non-refundable after 30 days. Any ongoing legal matter initiated prior to cancellation continues to be handled until completion under plan terms, provided third-party statutory fees are settled.

Question 11

What is Being Vakil Legal Intelligence, and who is it for?

Accepted Answer

Being Vakil Legal Intelligence™ is Being Vakil’s legal tool inside Microsoft Word. It reviews, redlines, compares, and answers questions on a contract under Indian law. It is for law firms, chartered accountants, company secretaries, startups, founders, individual businesses, and laypeople. A Legal Plan includes a Legal Intelligence budget inside the annual fee. Legal Intelligence is also available as its own annual plan.

Question 12

Which languages can Legal Intelligence use?

Accepted Answer

India’s first legal tool in all vernacular languages. Answers and explanations can be read in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Malayalam, and Punjabi. Legal references stay in English.

Question 13

What is a Legal Intelligence credit?

Accepted Answer

A full review is 1 credit up to 25 pages. Above 25 pages, the review is 1 credit per 10 pages, rounded up, and a review covers at most 300 pages. Asking the document is 0.2 credit. Drafting or redrafting a clause is 0.2 credit. Comparing versions is charged as a review of the longer document. Credits reset each month and do not roll over. Starter includes 25 credits a month (300 a year). Growth includes 60 a month (720 a year). Pro includes 60 a month on each of 3 licences (2,160 a year).

Question 14

What happens when the monthly Legal Intelligence credits are used up?

Accepted Answer

Work can continue. Additional credits can be purchased once the plan credits are used up. Public pages do not list a per-credit price. Legal Intelligence does not replace advocate drafting, a notice prepared by counsel, or court work.

Question 15

Does Being Vakil store the Word document?

Accepted Answer

Documents opened in Legal Intelligence are not stored. The file stays in Microsoft Word. Being Vakil does not keep a copy, and the file is not used for training.

Question 16

How is Legal Intelligence paid for, and is GST charged?

Accepted Answer

Legal Plans and Legal Intelligence are billed annually. The figure on the plan is a monthly rate. GST at 18% is added, and Razorpay collects one payment for the year. A 2 Years Package on a Legal Plan is 10% off the annual fee. A GST tax invoice is issued by Being Vakil after payment, and the GSTIN entered at checkout is printed on it.

Question 17

What is the refund policy for Legal Intelligence?

Accepted Answer

Legal Intelligence follows the same refund terms as the Legal Plan on this page: a 30-day window, less services already used.
