Which section of IT Act deals with the legal recognition of electronic records ?
Answer: B
Legal recognition of electronic records is in Section 4 of the IT Act.
Section 4 provides that where any law requires information to be in writing or in typewritten or printed form, that requirement is satisfied if the information is in electronic form and is accessible so as to be usable for later reference. It is the foundation of e-governance and electronic contracts in India.
Section 3 deals with authentication of electronic records by digital signature, section 6 with the use of electronic records and signatures in government, and section 8 with publication of rules and notifications in the electronic Gazette.
