The system works like a flexible prepaid wallet: you purchase credits, and then you spend those credits based on the services you use. ### Phase 1: Purchasing Your eSign Credits This phase is straightforward. When you add funds to your Leegality account, they are converted into eSign credits at a simple, fixed rate. **₹1 (INR) \= 1 eSign Credit** For example, if you purchase **₹10,000** worth of credits, you will have **10,000 eSign credits** added to your account wallet. This is the amount you have available to spend on getting documents signed using any eSign type. > **Note:** Minimum eSign credit purchase value should be 100 INR #### **Understanding the Purchase Page: Your Credits are Flexible** When you purchase credits from the Leegality Dashboard, you may be presented with options to add specific eSign types to your cart (for example, "10 Aadhaar eSigns"). The dashboard uses this selection to help you calculate the **total number of credits** you might need. > **Tip — Example** > > Adding "10 Aadhaar eSigns" to your cart at a rate of 25 credits/sign will calculate a total purchase of **250 eSign credits**. However, it's crucial to understand that you are **not** buying "Aadhaar-only" credits. Once the payment is complete, your account is credited with a universal pool of **250 eSign credits**. These credits can be used to pay for **any type of eSign transaction**, whether it's an Aadhaar eSign, a Virtual Sign, or any other type offered. ### Phase 2: Consuming Credits for Signatures This is the most important phase to understand. When you send a document for signing, you consume credits from your wallet. However, the number of credits consumed is **variable** and depends entirely on the **type of eSign** used by the signer. Different eSign types (like Aadhaar eSign, Virtual Sign, Doc Signer, etc.) have different underlying costs. This is reflected in the number of credits they consume. For instance, the cost might be: * **Aadhaar eSign:** 25 eSign credits per signature * **Virtual Sign:** 15 eSign credits per signature ### Putting It All Together: An Example Imagine you need to get a single document signed by three different people (Invitees A, B, and C). You've configured the document so that all three will use the **Aadhaar eSign** method. Here’s how the credits would be consumed: | Invitee | eSign Type | eSign Credit Cost per Signature | | :---- | :---- | :---- | | Invitee A | Aadhaar eSign | 25 credits | | Invitee B | Aadhaar eSign | 25 credits | | Invitee C | Virtual Sign | 15 credits | | **Total Consumption** | | **65 eSign credits** | Therefore, getting this **one document** signed by **three people** will consume a total of **65 eSign credits** from your account. > **Warning — Disclaimer** > > The actual consumption rates for different signature types are based on your agreed-upon commercials with Leegality. Now the eSign credits are in your account, you are all set to [**send your first document for eSign**](https://knowledge.leegality.com/document-execution/getting-started/sending-journey).
