In the context of electronic record, it is pertinent to note that having generated a record is different from having delivered it to the party in question. Thus, if you have emailed that document or submitted it to a site through online process etc, it is an evidence. But, if you have just given it across on a floppy/pen drive without any written acknowledgment, then you do not stand a chance of proving it either as a document or as an evidence.

That is not end of it, the source i.e. medium of email/site will also play a role in determining the soundness of the evidence.
Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Advocate) 10 December 2011
any document/recording can be evidence as long as it is corroborated by the evidence of the maker (recorder in this case) if authenticity is challanged.
Sh. P Suresh (For To By Green Kindness Perpetuity Selfsustainability Always) 28 January 2012
The word any document/RECORDING may not stand legal test. First, the law does not even allow recording of some aspects!!!! Next, there are number of ways to tamper an electronic document, recording etc etc and it gives rise to lots of legal questions.
