Abstract This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the validity and legal implications of oral transfers under Section 9 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. It allows property transfers to be made orally, provided that the law does not expressly require a written instrument. The article explores the scope of this provision, focusing on movable property and certain types of immovable property, including transactions valued below Rs. 100 and transfers of future interests. It also delves into the practical challenges of oral transfers, particularly regarding evidentiary issues, the applicability of the Registration Act, 1908, and the Indian Evidence Act, of 1872 . Judicial interpretations and case law offer insight into the enforceability of oral transfers, emphasizing the significance of possession in validating such transactions. Despite the legal validity of oral transfers, the article highlights the risks of uncertainty, fraud, and difficulties in proving ownership, making oral transfers less common in modern property transactions.
