Communication of offer:
In terms of Section 4 of the Act, “the communication of offer is complete when it comes to the knowledge of the person to whom it is made”. This can be explained by an example. Where‘A’ makes a proposal to ‘B’ by post to sell his house for ` 5 lakhs and if the letter containing the offer is posted on 10th March and if that letter reaches ‘B’ on 12th March the offer is said to have been communicated on 12th March when B received the letter.
Thus it can be summed up that when a proposal is made by post, its communication will be complete when the letter containing the proposal reaches the person to whom it is made.
Mere receiving of the letter is not suflcient, he must receive or read the message contained in the letter.
He receives the letter on 12th March, but he reads it on 15th of March. In this case offer is communicated on 15th of March, and not 12th of March.
