Question

'A' proposes by letter to sell a house to 'B' at a certain price. The communication of the proposal is complete when –

A.

'A' posts the letter.

B.

'A' has completed the writing of the letter.

C.

'B' gets information about the posting of the letter.

D.

'B' receives the letter.

Correct option is D

The communication of the proposal is complete when 'B' receives the letter. According to the Indian Contract Act, 1872, an offer or proposal is communicated when it comes to the knowledge of the person to whom it is made. In this case, the proposal by 'A' is complete when 'B' receives and understands the contents of the letter.
Information Booster:
The Indian Contract Act specifies that for a proposal to be effective, it must be communicated to the offeree. Until the letter is received, 'B' is not aware of the offer, and therefore, no contract can be formed.
Additional Knowledge:
· Posting the letter: Marks the start of communication, but the offer is not complete until received.
· Writing the letter: This is a preparatory act and does not constitute communication.
· Information about posting: Does not complete the proposal; only the receipt of the letter does.
