# Notices — Niyam

> Draft demand and statutory notices grounded in Indian law — including Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act and Section 80 CPC notices — then track delivery, response, and deadlines. You review and sign off on every notice.

A notice carries legal consequences, and the statute sets the rules. Niyam drafts demand and statutory notices grounded in the governing provision, then tracks each one through delivery, response, and the deadlines that follow — so nothing is missed and you sign off on every word.

## What you can do
- Demand and statutory notices grounded in the governing statute
- Track delivery, response, and reply deadlines in one place
- You review, edit, and sign every notice before it goes out

## Capabilities
- **A draft built on the provision that governs it** — Pick the notice you need and Niyam drafts from the governing statute — the demand a cheque-bounce notice requires under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, or the form a notice to government takes under Section 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. You get a grounded first draft, not a blank page.
- **Every clock a notice starts, tracked for you** — A sent notice opens windows — for reply, for compliance, for the step that follows. Niyam logs the day each notice goes out and tracks the deadlines that run from it, surfacing what's due so a statutory window never passes you by.
- **Every notice, from draft to answered, in one place** — A notice moves through stages — drafted, sent, served, awaiting reply, answered. Niyam keeps each one in a single tracker so you always know what's outstanding and what needs your attention, without piecing it together from your inbox.
- **See how the courts read the provision behind the notice** — The statute is the starting point; the judgments interpreting it shape the wording that holds up. Niyam links the notice you're drafting to the case law on the governing provision, so you can read how courts have construed it before you send.

## How it works
1. **Choose the notice** — Tell Niyam the notice you need and the particulars of the matter. It drafts from the statute that governs that notice type.
2. **Review and send** — Read the grounded draft, edit it to your matter, and sign off. Nothing goes out until you've approved every word — a notice has legal consequences.
3. **Track to reply** — Niyam records the send date and tracks the reply and compliance windows, surfacing each deadline so you act before the clock runs.

## Frequently asked questions

### What kinds of notices can Niyam draft?
Demand and statutory notices grounded in the provision that governs them — for example a cheque-bounce demand notice under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, a notice to government under Section 80 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, and recovery, demand, and quit or eviction notices under the applicable law. Niyam drafts from the governing statute; you edit and sign off before anything is sent.

### Does Niyam send notices on my behalf?
No. Niyam drafts and tracks notices, but you review, edit, and sign every one before it goes out. A notice carries legal consequences, so the lawyer stays in control — Niyam never sends or serves a notice on its own.

### How does the deadline tracking work?
When you record that a notice has been sent, Niyam tracks the windows that run from it — the reply period, the compliance period, and the date the next step becomes available — and surfaces each deadline so it doesn't slip past. You confirm the dates that apply to your matter; Niyam keeps the clock visible.

### How does Niyam avoid citing a section that doesn't exist?
It drafts from real Indian statutes and rules rather than free-text guessing, so a notice doesn't lean on an invented section the way a general chatbot can. Where a notice turns on a specific provision, you can open the statute and the judgments interpreting it to confirm the draft before you send.

### Is a notice from Niyam legal advice?
No. Niyam provides legal information and drafting tools grounded in primary sources. It does not create an advocate–client relationship or replace advice from a qualified advocate. You remain responsible for reviewing every notice, verifying the law it relies on, and deciding whether and how to send it.

### Can I see the law behind a notice?
Yes. The provision a notice is grounded in is shown alongside the draft, and you can open the governing statute and the judgments that interpret it — drawn from the same corpus of more than 72,000 Indian judgments that powers Niyam Research — so you can read the authority before you rely on the wording.

### Are my notices and matters private?
Yes. Your drafts, notices, and matter details stay private to your account. Niyam is built for the confidentiality legal work demands — your work product is never sold and never used to train public models.
