Consideration
Consideration is an essential element of a valid contract. An agreement without consideration is a
bare promise and is not binding on the parties.
According to section 2(d) of the Indian contract act when at the desire of the promisor, the
promise or any other person has done or abstained from doing or does or abstains from doing or
promises to do or to abstain from doing something, such act or abstinence, or promise is called a
consideration for the promise. Consideration, therefore may be described as something accepted
or agreed upon as a return, or equivalent for the promise made.
Example:- (1) A agrees to sell his car to B for a sum of Rs 10,000. For As promise the
consideration is a sum of Rs 10,000 while for Bs promise consideration is the car.
4. Contract of agency:
According to section 185 of the Indian contract Act consideration is not required to create an
agency.
5. Completed Gifts:
Absence of consideration shall also not affect the validity as between the donor and done of any
gift actually made.(Explanation (2) of section 25.) Thus, gifts once made cannot be recovered on
the ground of absence of consideration.
