At the point when a man makes an offer/proposition, he connotes to another his ability to do or to avoid accomplishing something.
Offer must be given with an expectation to make a legitimate relationship. There is an obvious distinction amongst offer and welcome to make an offer. Articulation of sentiment, Preliminary arrangements, and so on is not advertised. Offer must be distinct, Offer must be conveyed, and mere articulation of the cost of a piece is not an offer. It is one of the most important step in formation of contract.
