The primary purpose of the Act is to provide legal recognition to
electronic commerce and to facilitate filing of electronic records with
the Government.

punishments (imprisonment terms up to 10 years and compensation

Companies shall now be able to carry out electronic
commerce using the legal infrastructure provided by the
Act.
