As such according to Section 11, of the Indian Contract Act of 1872, a minor is not competent to contracat. Therefore, any contract entered into by a n\minor except those fjor the necessaries of life supplied to him, is void ab initio, and are therefore unenforceable.However, a banker can open a savings bank accout in the name of a minor and he runs no risk, as long the account is in credit.Similarly, a banker can also open a Term Deposit account in the name of a minor provided he doesn't give loans to the minor. This is because a banker will have to face risks when he gives a loan to a minor because he cannot recover the loan amount from the minor, who is not competent to contract.In case a banker decides to grant a loan to a minor for the necessaries of life for him, it is necessary to satisfy himself that the minor has got sufficient property. This is because a minor's property can be made liable, but a minor cannot be personally made liable for the loan.In the eyes of law, a minor is a pampered child. Hence, a minor can become a major problem.M.J. SUBRAMANYAM, XCHANGING, BANGALORE
