According to Indian Contract Act, Consideratio is 'When, at the desire of the promisor, the promisee or, any other person, had done or abstained from doing, or does or abstains from doing, or promises to do or, to abstain from doing, something, such act or abstinence or promise is called a consideration for the promise"

This could be put simply as ...Consideration is nothing but the price paid by one party for the promise of the other. It can be in the nature of a positive act or the forbearance of a certain act. It can be past, present or future.

Thus, consideration forms an essential part of an agreement without which the agreement is void. This is because, in the absence of consideration, there is no legal obligation formed between the parties and, therefore, in such a scenario, they are not bound by the terms of the agreement

Consideration meaning and difference between English law and Indian law?

Consideration is an essential element of a legally binding contract where each party agrees to give or do something in exchange for something from the other party. In English law, consideration must be present for a contract to be enforceable, whereas in Indian law, a promise can be enforceable even without consideration under certain circumstances, such as promises made to close family members. Additionally, Indian law recognizes past consideration as valid consideration, while English law generally does not.
