The Information Technology Act, 2000
Official text of the Information Technology Act, 2000 sections referenced in Law of Contract–I, Unit I — specifically, how electronic contract formation is recognised under Indian law. Kept as a separate Bare Act page from the Indian Contract Act, 1872, since it is a different statute.
Section 4 — Legal Recognition of Electronic Records
Legal recognition of electronic records — wherever a law requires information in writing, an accessible electronic version satisfies that requirement.
Section 10A — Validity of Contracts Formed Through Electronic Means
Where in a contract formation, the communication of proposals, the acceptance of proposals, the revocation of proposals and acceptances, as the case may be, are expressed in electronic form or by means of an electronic record, such contract shall not be deemed to be unenforceable solely on the ground that such electronic form or means was used for that purpose.
