✅ Are Handshake Deals Legally Valid?

YES, oral agreements ARE legally enforceable under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, BUT… there’s a catch! 🚨

🔹 Essential Elements Must Exist – Offer, acceptance, and consideration. 💰
🔹 Proof Is Required – Witnesses, emails, messages, or past conduct. 📜
🔹 Some Agreements MUST Be in Writing – Like real estate transactions or financial contracts. 🏡💼
🔹 Good Faith Alone Isn’t Enough – If there’s no proof, enforcement is tough! 🤷

⚠️ A handshake isn’t enough unless backed by solid evidence! 📑
