Frequently Asked Questions

What is online arbitration?

Online arbitration is a fully digital arbitration process — parties submit claims, exchange evidence, and attend hearings online. It is equally valid and binding as traditional arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.

Is online arbitration legally binding in India?

Yes. The arbitral award is enforceable as a court decree under Section 36 of the Arbitration Act. The IT Act, 2000 validates electronic evidence and digital signatures.

How long does online arbitration take?

Typically 3–6 months at Sandhee. Section 29A mandates a 12-month outer limit for domestic arbitration.

What disputes can be resolved online?

Commercial disputes, debt recovery, banking and financial disputes, employment disputes, e-commerce disputes, property matters, and any dispute with an arbitration clause.

What is the difference between online arbitration and mediation?

Online arbitration produces a binding decision by an arbitrator. Online mediation is a voluntary process where a mediator helps parties negotiate a settlement — no binding decision is imposed.
