Initiative
Electronic Transactions Act & Law of Contract Act

Highlights
The two laws supplement each other. Among other things, they recognise activities done online such as negotiations, agreements and e-payment/digital money. Most importantly, these laws recognise and provide for the requirements of digital signature and e-money. The use of e-signature and money is important for workers who need not be physically present in discharging their duties. The criteria set under these laws can, as well, be used to protect individuals from or support their claims for forgery, fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or expression of consents.
