Smart contracts & Indian law legally binding or technically blinded
Authors

Abstract
Smart contracts, powered by blockchain technology, are reshaping the
way agreements are formed and executed across sectors—from finance to supply
chains. These self-executing contracts operate on coded instructions and
eliminate the need for intermediaries, making transactions faster and more
secure. However, their innovation raises pressing questions within the domain
of contract law, particularly concerning their legal validity, enforceability,
and dispute resolution under existing statutory frameworks such as the Indian
Contract Act, 1872 and the Information Technology Act, 2000. This paper
examines the compatibility of smart contracts with established legal doctrines,
evaluates the adequacy of the current legislative apparatus in India, and
explores international models to propose a legally coherent approach for integrating
smart contracts into the Indian legal system.
