Zoho Sign – India Compliant Digital Signatures for Business

In a world that’s going paperless by the minute, signatures are no longer ink on paper—they’re a click, a tap, or a swipe. Whether you're onboarding employees, finalizing sales deals, or approving vendor agreements, the need for legally binding, fast, and secure signatures has never been greater.
But not just any e-signature tool will do.
Zoho Sign is an Indian IT Act-compliant digital signature solution that helps individuals and organizations sign, send, and manage documents online—safely, instantly, and legally.
It's more than just convenience—Zoho Sign ensures your business stays compliant, audit-ready, and agile in today’s digital economy.

Why Zoho Sign?

You may already use physical signatures or scanned documents with free tools, but those aren't always legally enforceable—especially in India. And even when they are, they often come with inefficiencies, delays, and risks.
Zoho Sign changes that. It provides:
  • Legally valid digital signatures (under the Indian IT Act, 2000)
  • A secure cloud-based environment for storing signed files
  • Seamless integration with Zoho and non-Zoho apps
  • End-to-end encryption and audit trails for every document
For businesses that operate across borders or handle sensitive documents daily, Zoho Sign offers the perfect balance of speed, trust, and legal validity.
