“I agreed to a deal over email. Is that legally binding in India?”
π Top Keywords: Email Contract Validity, Electronic Communication Agreement, E-Contracts, Indian Contract Law, Legal Email Confirmation
✅ Short Answer:
Yes! Under Indian law, an email can form a legally valid contract—provided it meets the essentials of a contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872:
π Offer
π Acceptance
π Lawful consideration
π Intention to create legal obligation
π Capacity of parties

π Key Points to Remember:
πΉ The language must clearly show offer + acceptance
πΉ There must be mutual agreement (no “just discussing” loopholes!)
πΉ It should ideally include terms, price, timelines, etc.
πΉ Bonus: Attachments or digital signatures π»✍️ add more legal weight

π§ When Can It Backfire?
π« Casual or vague wording like “let’s maybe do this” won’t hold up
π« If there's no clear consideration or intention to be bound
π« “I didn’t mean to send that!” is not a legal defence π

Lawyer: “Tell that to the judge… or your spam folder. ππ©”
