Question

EDI system got legal recognition under which one of the following Acts ?

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2015 Paper 1 Question Paper (27-Dec-2015)
The correct answer is

Information Technology Act, 2000

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the computer-to-computer exchange of business documents such as orders and invoices in a standard electronic format.

In India, legal recognition to transactions carried out by means of electronic data interchange and other electronic communication (e-commerce) was granted by the Information Technology Act, 2000, whose preamble states this purpose; it also recognises electronic records and digital signatures.

The other Acts named do not exist as statutes giving such recognition; the DGFT administers foreign trade under the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992, not a 1999 DGFT Act.

Hence, the answer is Information Technology Act, 2000.
