Section 4 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 provides that where a law requires information to be in writing, typewritten or printed form, the requirement is satisfied if the information is made available in an electronic form and is accessible so as to be usable for later reference. Electronic form is enough, so neither a scanned copy sent by post, nor a handwritten copy, nor an attested copy is required.
