Can a Loan Agreement Be Oral or Must It Be in Writing?

 Can a Loan Agreement Be Oral or Must It Be in Writing?” 🤝🗣️📃

Another classic question from clients who love “verbal trust”:
“I gave money on loan... no agreement, just mutual understanding. Will that hold up in court?”
(Also heard: “Sir, dosti mein likhne ki kya zarurat thi?” 😅)

Answer: Technically YES, but Practically... You’re on Thin Ice! 🧊⚖️

An oral loan agreement is valid under Indian Contract Act, but proving it in court is as difficult as finding an honest politician on a debate show! 🎙️😂

Why Written Loan Agreements Are Better Than Verbal Promises:

  • Establishes clear terms – amount, interest, repayment schedule

  • Prevents disputes on repayment timeline or denial of loan itself

  • Acts as strong legal evidence in case of default

  • Helps in filing money recovery suits or initiating legal action

💡 Key Components of a Good Loan Agreement: ✔️ Names & Signatures of Parties
✔️ Principal Amount & Interest Rate

😂 An oral loan is like a handshake deal at a wedding buffet — tasty till it gets messy later! 🍲🤝
