Introduction There is no definition of Tender in the
contract Act. Moreover, agreements and contracts have been separated
in the contract Act. Section 38 of the contract act muse be referred
to understand the definition of Tender. Its title is “Results of
rejection of proposal of contract”. Tender can be design from it as
deed of proposal of making contract. Thus, promises doesn’t accept
the responsibility of contract only by proposing contract. Promise is not bound to oblige the proposed contract until the
promisee accepts the proposal. Rights and duties under the contrast arise
only after the contract comes in to existence.
