Which of the following most appropriately describes the term ‘sale’ as per Sale of Goods Act, 1930?

A contract where by seller transfers the property in goods
A contract whereby seller transfers or agrees to transfer the property in goods to the buyer for a price
A contract where transfer of the property in goods is to take place at a future time
A contract where transfer of the property in goods is to take place subject to some condition thereafter to be fulfilled

The correct answer is B. A contract whereby seller transfers or agrees to transfer the property in goods to the buyer for a price.

The Sale of Goods Act, 1930 defines a sale as “an agreement to transfer the property in goods for a price”. This means that a sale is a contract in which the seller agrees to transfer ownership of goods to the buyer in exchange for a price. The goods must be specific and identifiable, and the price must be certain or capable of being made certain.

Option A is incorrect because it does not require that the seller transfer ownership of the goods. Option C is incorrect because it does not require that the transfer of ownership take place immediately. Option D is incorrect because it does not require that the transfer of ownership be for a price.
