Answer:
You’re not the only one wondering if your late-night “Deal Pakka Hai” over WhatsApp is legally enforceable. ๐
Let’s break it down!
✅ Yes, under the Indian Contract Act, a contract is valid if it has offer, acceptance, lawful consideration, and intention to create legal obligations—whether it’s made via WhatsApp, email, or even a napkin in some cases (though we don’t recommend the napkin ๐).
๐ Electronic contracts (e-contracts) are valid in India as per the Information Technology Act, 2000.
But here’s the catch ๐ชค: You must be able to prove the conversation, intention, and acceptance—screenshots are your best friend here! ๐ธ
Top Uses:
๐ป Great for startups, freelancers, and remote collaborations where quick agreements are needed.
๐ Saves time, reduces paperwork, and still packs legal punch—if done right!
