When Is an Unregistered Agreement VALID? ✅

Under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, an agreement is valid if:

✔️ It has offer, acceptance, and consideration (money/service exchange). 💰
✔️ It is signed by both parties voluntarily. ✍️
✔️ It does not violate any law (e.g., illegal business). 🚫
✔️ It is properly stamped, even if not registered. 📑

💡 Example: A company signs a service agreement with a freelancer but doesn’t register it. If both parties agree, it can still be legally binding!

When Is an Unregistered Agreement INVALID? ❌

🚫 If the law mandates registration (e.g., property sale agreements).
🚫 If it lacks necessary stamps, making it inadmissible in court.
🚫 If it involves high-value transactions that require legal proof.
🚫 If it is challenged & there’s no supporting evidence (emails, payments, etc.).

💡 Example: A landlord leases a property for 3 years but doesn’t register the rental agreement. The tenant refuses to vacate. Without registration, the landlord may struggle in court!
