Legal Question in Investment Law in India

Does Indian law allow to create notarized contracts of guaranteed income on an investment?

One person I met last week offered me a business proposition. He is involved in FX trading, property buying/selling etc. He offered me monthly guaranteed returns on an investment of 1 Lakh. He sent me the below draft. can you please guide me to write a legal draft to atleast protect my capital investment and ask for the capital amount anytime with a notice period of 90 days? Thanks

The contract covers your interest, however it is advised that such contract should not be entered as the said party A is offering a return on the basis of his return which is contingent and speculative as the return is not guaranteed and hence think twice before you enter such agreement.
