Why we picked it This is the government's own sample SHA, published on the official Startup India (DPIIT) templates page alongside term sheets and founder agreements, so it is a durable, no-cost drafting starting point that already reflects Indian company-law structure. Its drag-along clause, for instance, spells out the 30-day notice mechanics you would otherwise pay a lawyer to draft from scratch. Draft from this, then pay a lawyer once to make it real for your cap table.
Shareholder Agreement of Company (Sample SHA Template)
From Startup India by Startup India (Invest India, DPIIT) 13-page template
- A free, government-published SHA sample you can open, edit, and take to a lawyer instead of paying to draft from a blank page
- Includes the load-bearing exit clauses (drag-along with a 30-day notice period, tag-along, transfer restrictions) that a plain paper founders agreement omits
- Sits on the official Startup India tools page with matching term-sheet and founder-agreement templates, so the whole early-stage document set comes from one trusted source
