Which of the following act does not constitute fraud under the Indian Contract Act, 1872?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

"the suggestion, as a fact, of that which is not true, by one who does not believe it to be true", "the active concealment of a fact by one having knowledge or belief of the fact" and "a promise made without any intention of performing it" are all fraud under s.17. By contrast, "where a person stands in a fiduciary relation with the other and induces the other person to act on his directions" describes undue influence under s.16, not fraud.
