no valid sorry

Although no legal provision requires a will to be necessarily in writing yet practically it is very difficult to prove an oral will. There are even judgments that law does not recognise oral will.

no legal sanctity

The Indian Succession Act makes it necessary under the Act to have a written Will.
Oral Will has no legal sanctity.
It must be signed by at least two witnesses.

Yes, I agree with Experts. Oral will is not valid in India. However, It is valid in some other countries.

oral evidence is nessesury.

if you prove this then it is effective.

Military personnel on active duty can make a WILL orally in specified circumstances in terms of Indian Succession Act.
Wills deal with transmiision of property and not transfer of property.
