Explanation

Under Indian law, minors (infants) generally cannot enter into valid contracts - contracts with minors are void. However, if a minor fraudulently misrepresents their age to obtain a loan, they can be held liable to repay the amount. The fraud exception overrides the general protection of minors. This prevents minors from exploiting their minority status through dishonesty.
