Answer 1

Answer:

A. Legal recognition of electronic records

• Section 4 of the Information Technology (IT) Act, 2000, specifically deals with giving legal recognition to electronic records. 
• It states that where any law requires a document, record, or information to be in written, typewritten, or printed form, such requirement shall be deemed to be satisfied if the document, record, or information is in electronic form.
• This means electronic documents and records are legally valid just like paper documents.
