Document background
The Master Subcontract Agreement serves as a foundational document for companies operating in India who regularly engage subcontractors for various projects or services. This agreement type is particularly crucial in the Indian business environment, where complex regulatory requirements govern subcontracting relationships. The document establishes a comprehensive framework that governs multiple future work orders, eliminating the need to negotiate basic terms repeatedly. It includes essential provisions required under Indian law, such as compliance with the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, while also addressing commercial aspects like intellectual property rights, confidentiality, and risk allocation. The Master Subcontract Agreement is designed to provide flexibility while ensuring consistency in subcontracting relationships, making it particularly valuable for large-scale operations or ongoing business relationships.
