Under the Sale of Goods Act, 1930, as a general rule, there is:

Section 16 lays down the rule of caveat emptor: "there is no implied warranty or condition as to the quality or fitness for any particular purpose of goods supplied under a contract of sale", subject to the exceptions in the section. Merchantable quality and fitness for a particular purpose are implied only in the cases set out in s.16(1) and (2).
