VidhiSar and Vakilsearch: different jobs

Vakilsearch is a platform through which chartered accountants, company secretaries and lawyers do legal and compliance work for you — registrations, filings, drafting, litigation. It describes Zolvit as the parent brand for its compliance business, with Vakilsearch remaining the brand for legal services. VidhiSar is software: it does not file anything for you. It tells you what is due and what missing it costs, and helps you draft and check documents yourself.

When Vakilsearch is the better fit

  • You need something filed with a government portal — a company or LLP incorporated, a trademark filed, a GST registration — by a professional.
  • You want a lawyer to draft a bespoke agreement, or to represent you.
  • You would rather pay per task than use software yourself.

When VidhiSar is the better fit

  • You want every statutory date that applies to your business in one calendar, with what each one costs once late.
  • You want to ask a legal question in Hindi, English or Hinglish and see the section the answer comes from.
  • You want to draft standard documents yourself — offer letters, NDAs, vendor agreements, a POSH policy.
  • You want a contract checked for risky clauses before you sign it.
  • You want to check your DPDP readiness before its duties apply in May 2027.
  • You want to start free, without a card.

Using both

The two are not substitutes, and plenty of owners use both kinds of help: software to know what is due and handle the routine documents, a professional for the filings and the work that needs a signature.
