Abstract

Electronic commerce offers exceptional opportunities for the economic development of India, with its huge pool of technology skilled, English speaking manpower. However the growth of e-commerce will depend on the concomitant advancement of a consistent legal and regulatory framework able to cope with ensuring rights and obligations in a virtual environment. A number of developing countries have pursued policies to formulate consistent legal and regulatory framework to support electronic transactions across state, national and international borders. Besides developing the e-infrastructure in the country through effective Telecom Policy measures, the Indian Government is taking appropriate steps as confidence building measures for the growth of e-commerce. It has created the necessary legal and administrative framework through the enactment of Information Technology Act 2000, which combines the e-commerce transactions and computer misuse and frauds rolled into an Omnibus Act.
