same legal recognition to all the documents, records, information, communication and
transaction- signed electronically as ones executed with a traditional wet ink
signature.
The Act further extends the protection under law for electronically executed
documents by giving it same legal recognition, enforceability, admissibility,
validity as traditional documents.
The COVID-19 pandemic has radically changed our lifestyles and how one conducts
business. Most non-essential companies have established completely remote work
setups. This "new normal" has concentrated more attention on electronic means of
transactions. The "new normal" in the age of Covid-19 proceeds to facilitate the use
of eSignatures.
