Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Under Section 2(14) of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, 'specific goods' means goods identified and agreed upon at the time a contract of sale is made. By contrast, unascertained goods identified subsequent to the formation of the contract of sale are termed 'ascertained goods', and goods to be manufactured or acquired by the seller after the making of the contract are 'future goods' under Section 2(6).

Option feedback

Option A

Correct because Section 2(14) of the Sale of Goods Act, 1930 defines 'specific goods' as goods identified and agreed upon at the time a contract of sale is made.

Option B

Incorrect because goods identified after the contract is made or when delivery is made are ascertained goods, not specific goods under Section 2(14).

Option C

Incorrect because identification of specific goods under Section 2(14) must occur at the time the contract of sale is made, not at the time of payment.

Option D

When the goods came into existence is not the test. Section 2(14) asks whether the goods were identified and agreed upon when the contract was made.
