Unless there is .................., there can be no contract.
Consensus ad idem
Under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, a contract needs an agreement, and an agreement arises only when the parties agree upon the same thing in the same sense. This meeting of minds is called consensus ad idem (Sec. 13).
Without such consensus, for example where the parties are at cross-purposes about the subject matter, there is no true agreement and so no enforceable contract.
A common seal is relevant only to companies executing certain documents, goodwill is an intangible business asset, and a profit is not an element of contract formation.
Hence, the answer is Consensus ad idem.
