π¬ One of the most click-and-send questions we hear:
“Sir, I just emailed the offer and he replied ‘Agreed’... Is that legally binding or just inbox decoration?” ππ¬
Let’s sort this digital dilemma into Inbox ✅ or Trash ❌ — legally speaking!
✅ Yes, Emails Can Be Legally Binding Contracts in India!
✔️ As per the Indian Contract Act, a valid contract doesn’t need to be on fancy paper.
✔️ If there's an Offer ➕ Acceptance ➕ Lawful Consideration ➕ Intention to Create Legal Obligation — BOOM! That’s a contract! π₯π️
✔️ Emails qualify under electronic records governed by the Information Technology Act, 2000 too.

⚠️ But Beware:
