πŸ‘‰ 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:
πŸ“Œ Offer
πŸ“Œ Acceptance
πŸ“Œ Lawful consideration
πŸ“Œ Intention to create legal obligation
πŸ“Œ Capacity of parties

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

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