Which one of the following sections of Transfer of Property Act, 1882 relates to oral transfer?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 9 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 states that "A transfer of property may be made without writing in every case in which a writing is not expressly required by the law." So oral transfer is the general rule, and writing is needed only where a section such as 54, 59, 107 or 123 demands it. Section 5 defines "transfer of property", s. 7 deals with who is competent to transfer, and s. 8 with the operation of a transfer.
