Free, practical guides under Indian law. No signup, no paywall. Educational information — not legal advice.
Assistant
Ask in plain language. Answers come from our Learn library — free information, cited to the relevant guide.
Services
When you'd rather have it done for you. Filings are executed by our vetted partner law firms, CA & CS practices — you see the government fee and the professional fee separately, always.
* Professional fee includes the CopyrightNow platform premium. Stamp duty and state-specific charges, where applicable, are billed at actuals. Fees indicative as of July 2026; confirmed in your engagement letter before any payment.
Tax Vault
Keep everything you need at tax time — bank statements, royalty statements, invoices, Form 16A — encrypted on this device only. We run no server for this. Delete everything, any time, permanently.
Tax estimate — FY 2025-26 (AY 2026-27)
Compare both regimes on your creator income. Uses current slabs, ₹12L rebate, 44ADA presumptive option and advance-tax schedule.
Enter your numbers and calculate — the lower-tax regime gets highlighted.
Security & Compliance
Built privacy-first, because your unreleased masters and bank statements are nobody's business — including ours.
How your data is handled
- Tax Vault is local-only. Documents are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a key derived from your passphrase (PBKDF2, 250,000 iterations) and stored in your browser's IndexedDB — on this device, never on a server.
- We cannot read or recover your vault. The passphrase and derived key never leave your device; there is no "forgot passphrase" backdoor by design.
- Deletion is real deletion. "Delete everything" destroys the entire local database including the key-check record. There is no server copy to linger.
- No trackers, no third-party scripts. A strict Content-Security-Policy blocks all external connections. The Learn library and assistant run entirely offline.
- Service requests share only what you type. When you request a paid service, only the details you enter are sent — and only when you choose to send them — to our partner desk. Vault contents are never attached automatically.
Legal & regulatory posture
- DPDP Act, 2023: we practice data minimisation by architecture — the most sensitive data (financial documents) is never collected, so most fiduciary obligations don't attach to it. For service requests we act as a data fiduciary: purpose-limited use, consent at the point of sharing, deletion on request.
- Advocates Act, 1961 & BCI rules: CopyrightNow is a technology platform, not a law firm, and does not practice law. Legal work is performed by independent partner advocates, patent agents, CAs and CSs under their own professional responsibility. Our fee is a platform/technology charge, disclosed separately.
- Not legal or tax advice: the Learn library and assistant provide general information under Indian law. Your situation may differ — engagements with partners include professional advice; the free tier does not.
- Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020: all-inclusive pricing shown before you commit, grievance contact published, no dark patterns.
- GST: 18% applies on our professional/platform fees and is shown before checkout; government fees are collected at actuals.
Your controls
- Lock the vault any time — the key is wiped from memory instantly.
- Delete individual documents, or everything, permanently — no grace period, no soft delete.
- Use the entire free tier without creating an account or sharing any personal data.
