A non-compete clause or non-compete agreement is a clause used in contracts under which the worker undertakes not to engage in a profession, profession or similar professional activity in competition with the employer. In addition to ordinary employment contracts, these agreements are sometimes included in agreements to sell business or commercial practices, exit from employment and other exclusive agreements and services. The Indian Contract Act of 1872, which provides a framework of rules and rules governing the formation and execution of a contract in India, deals with the legality of these non-competition clauses. It provides that an agreement that prevents everyone from practising a profession, a commercial profession or a business is, to the extent that it is cancelled. In accordance with Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act, the trade agreements of 1872 that will hold the stop are unoperated. Trade restriction agreements are the agreement by which a party is agreed with another party to limit its freedom, at present or in the future, to practise a certain profession or profession with other persons who are not contracting parties, without the express agreement of the latter party, in the manner it prescribes. Limiting employment in workers` employment contracts in the form of confidentiality obligations or restrictions on employment with competitors has become part of the company`s culture. However, the researcher in his paper will look at the exceptions for the same thing, which are also provided for in the later part of the same section, namely 27 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. SECTION 27; Any agreement by which a person is deterred from practising a profession, business or business of any kind is, in this respect, not concluded.

EXCEPTION: The person who sells the good includes a business with a buyer to refrain from carrying out a similar transaction within certain local limits, as long as the buyer or anyone who deduces ownership of the good re-seller performs a similar transaction there, provided that such restrictions appear appropriate to the Court of Justice if the nature of the activity is taken into account. GENERAL PRINCIPLE IN INDIA AND ENGLAND UNDER SECTION 27 OF THE INDIAN CONTRACT ACT, 1872; In India as in England, the general principle is almost identical, namely that all trade restrictions, partial or total, are null and void. The only difference is that in England, a restriction is valid if it is reasonable. In India, it is valid if it falls under one of the legal or judicial exceptions. To the extent that these exceptions are an embodiment of situations in which restrictions have been deemed appropriate in England, the two statutes are identical and are not „broadly different“.
