​A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is a legally enforceable contract that establishes confidentiality between two parties—the owner of protected information and the recipient of that information. By signing an NDA, participants agree to protect confidential information shared with them by the other party. In addition to not divulging or releasing the information without consent, the recipient also agrees not to copy, modify, or make use of the information in any way that is not authorised by the owner.

A signed NDA form can help you avoid a lot of problems as a business owner. Without a confidentiality agreement in place, your trade secrets and sensitive information can be disclosed publicly or otherwise used by employees, vendors, clients, or anyone else that you share them with. A Non-Disclosure Agreement lets the recipients of your proprietary information know that you expect confidentiality and it authorises you to take legal action if the contract is violated.
​
Other names for a Non-Disclosure Agreement include: NDA, Non-Disclosure Form, Confidentiality Agreement, Confidentiality Statement, Confidential Disclosure Agreement (CDA), Proprietary Information Agreement (PIA), or Secrecy Agreement.

​A non-disclosure agreement full form (NDA), also known as a confidentiality agreement (CA), confidential disclosure agreement (CDA), proprietary information agreement (PIA) or secrecy agreement (SA), is a legal contract between at least two parties that outlines confidential material, knowledge, or information

​Whether you are considering a new business relationship or you have already entered one, it's often smart to make a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Employees, business partners, and vendors are often privy to sensitive information that should be protected from disclosure to the outside world. Without a signed confidentiality contract, your business data and trade secrets could become public knowledge without your consent.

​As discussed above NDA is an agreement between two or more parties whereby they agree to disclose confidential information among themselves but excludes all other from the right of accessing that information, except in some circumstances.
Five Advantages of signing an Non-Disclosure Agreement: 

• NDA helps the parties to accommodate or to adapt their obligations well. It helps them to understand when the obligations do not apply and when they would terminate.
• It helps to describe exactly what, the confidential matter is and helps in maintaining their secrecy.
• Non-Disclosure Agreement deals with the provisions which deal with penalties imposed on the contracting party who discloses the information which was supposed to be kept confidential. The one who breaches with the NDA are prescribed punishments in the form of compensation. They have to bear the damages caused. This issue can also be brought to the court where they can receive an injunctive relief. This would prohibit the recipient from disclosing such information any further so as to prevent breach of non-disclosure
• Non-Disclosure Agreement helps in achieving the purpose of their commitments by performing due diligence in safeguarding the confidential information.
• A court cannot give relief for the breach of confidential trade secret or information if the owner of that information has not entered upon Non-Disclosing Agreement. NDA is like a protection given to the owners. A court grants relief to the owner if he has taken attempt for safeguarding the confidential information.​

​RERA is an act for regulation and promotion of the real estate sector to ensure the sale of apartment, plot or building in an efficient and transparent manner. The Act aims to protect the interest of consumers. It was enacted by the Parliament in May 2016 and the Act has come into force with all its 92 sections from 1st May, 2017 across India. So far, 14 states and union territories such as Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra have notified their rules with RERA and the others are expected to follow suit.

The implementation of RERA is expected to bring relief to the homebuyers as builders will be accountable for the timely delivery of the projects and to protect buyers from fraud sellers. The developers would also gain from the increased confidence of the consumers in a regulated environment.

It is mandatory for the developers to get RERA registration & all approvals from various government agencies before launching a project and disclose all the information on the website that the respective state RERA regulatory authority will set up.

Real estate agents will be provided a rera registration number by the regulator which they have to mention in every property sale. This will help in eliminating the possibility of misleading the purchaser. The authority has wide ranging powers to impose penalties and imprisonment of agents in case of violation of law.

All commercial and residential real estate projects will have to register except in projects where:

• The promoter has received completion certificate of the project prior to commencement of Act
• The area of land proposed to be developed does not exceed 500 sq. mt
• The number of apartments is not more than 8
• Any repair or renovation of an existing building or structure that does not require marketing, advertising and selling of any apartment or plot

Following documents should be enclosed in hardcopy with the application:

• PAN Card of the builder
• ITR of last 3 years and the balance sheet of the builder
• Builder must clarify about the apartment (carpet area, number of floors, parking space)
• Declaration by the builder of having legal title of the land with proof
