One of the most common questions we hear from clients is:
"If my business partner breaches a verbal agreement, can I still sue them for breach of contract?"

πŸ’‘ The Answer: YES, you can—but it’s a bit tricky. Let’s break it down:
πŸ” Verbal Contracts Are Real Contracts:
A verbal agreement can be legally binding under Indian law! πŸŽ‰ However, proving it exists is where things get challenging. You'll need:

  • Witnesses who heard the agreement. πŸ—£️
  • Proof of actions taken by both parties that align with the terms discussed. πŸ“œ
  • Any supporting evidence, like emails, texts, or WhatsApp messages. πŸ“§

⚠️ Exceptions You Should Know:
Some contracts must be in writing to be enforceable under the Indian Contract Act, such as:

  • Real estate transactions 🏑
  • Contracts that extend beyond one year πŸ“…
  • Agreements involving significant sums of money πŸ’°

For these situations, a verbal promise won't hold up in court. 🚨
