The Sales of Goods Act, 1930 came into force on

The Indian Sale of Goods Act, 1930 received assent on April 15, 1930 but came into force on July 1, 1930. This is a standard legislative practice where acts are passed on one date but implemented later to allow for necessary preparations. The Act was based on the English Sale of Goods Act 1893 and governs contracts relating to sale of goods in India. Section 1 of the Act explicitly states the commencement date as July 1, 1930. This date is important for historical and procedural understanding of Indian mercantile law.
