Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where a bank loan agreement is signed electronically by a borrower. Later, a dispute arises and the borrower denies signing the document. In court, under Section 67A of The Indian Evidence Act, the bank would need to prove that the electronic signature on the loan agreement is indeed that of the borrower, unless it's a secure electronic signature, which by definition has a higher level of security and authenticity, and thus carries a presumption of validity.
