• Non-registered firm want to set rules for freelance employees

We are a non-registered small company which acts as mediators between parents and home tutors. FYI in home tutoring concept teacher will visit student's residence to conduct every lecture. We provide such home tuitions to teachers on commission basis. So we take fees from parents, take our commission and pay rest of amount to concerned teacher.

We want teachers to enter a sort of pact or agreement with us which will have 2 main conditions among others
1. Teachers will not discuss anything with parents/students about fees.
2. Teachers will not use or share any tuition contact provided by company without prior permission from company.

Can this be done?

If at all registration is mandatory for this what is the procedure for the same?

This is an agreement of contract between the company and the person engaged on contract.

The contract agreement will have mutual clauses.

The said clauses can very well be incorporated in the agreement of contract, there is no legal infirmity in it.

It is not mandatory to register the agreement, it can be registered if need be.

1. These clauses can safely by incorporated as they do not violate any law.

2. The registration of the bilateral agreement, envisaged by you, is not mandatory.

Thanks, as I understand, such agreement can be done without any mandatory registration of either company or agreement. Am I correct?

You are right that there is no necessity to register the company if not desired.

If yes, how to go ahead with this agreement thing? Do we have to print our clauses on a stamp paper and get it signed by teachers? Or is there something else?

You can draft the agreement incorporating the clauses of mutual interest and Terms & conditions, if necessary on a Rs. 80/- nonjudicial stamp paper, get it signed by both, have one set each.

Is there any fixed format for the same?

There is no fixed format, the terms and conditions may get drafted through a professional or a lawyer locally.
