Section 89

Section 89 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, defines 'time for performance' in the context of contracts. The section states: 'The time for performance of a contract shall, in the absence of any contract to the contrary, be the time when the promise is made, or, if the promise is to be performed at a place other than that at which it is made, the time when the promisee shall have notice of the promise.' This definition is crucial for determining when a contract must be performed. If the contract does not specify a time for performance, the law presumes that performance is due immediately or upon notice of the promise, depending on the circumstances. This provision helps in resolving disputes related to the timing of contractual obligations.
