You shake hands on a business deal, but the other person backs out! 😡 There’s no written contract—just a verbal promise. Can you still take legal action? 🤔 Let’s break it down! ⬇️
✅ Is a Verbal Agreement Legally Enforceable in India?
✔️ YES! 🤝 Under The Indian Contract Act, 1872, an oral agreement is legally binding IF it meets these conditions:
📌 There was a clear offer & acceptance 🎯
📌 There was lawful consideration (something of value exchanged) 💰
📌 Both parties had the legal capacity to contract 👥
📌 The contract was for a lawful purpose 📜
🚨 BUT… without proof, enforcing a verbal contract can be difficult! 🚨
