A revocation offer is a formal legal document used to revoke (withdraw) an earlier proposal or contract. In the Indian legal system, revocation of an offer is governed by Section 5 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, which states that:

• An offer can be revoked anytime before its acceptance is communicated.
• Once accepted, the offer becomes a binding contract and cannot be revoked unilaterally.

A revocation offer is typically sent when the offeror (person making the offer) no longer wishes to proceed with the agreement. The notice must be clear, unambiguous, and communicated to the offeree before acceptance.
