Goa (Extension of the Bankers' Books Evidence) Act, 1988
Finance19882 sections
This law applies to the Union territory of Goa, Daman, and Diu. Its purpose is to allow courts to use banks' official records as evidence in legal cases, just like they can elsewhere in India under the Bankers' Books Evidence Act of 1891. By extending this legal right to Goa, the Act ensures that people do not lose their right to present written bank statements or ledgers as proof during trials. This makes it easier to settle disputes based on financial transactions, enforcing the standard rules of evidence for banking records in that specific region.
