Type Iax supernovae (SNe) are a subclass of type Ia SN with exceptionally different features. These are low luminous and less energetic events without a secondary NIR peak. We discuss here mainly on the observational properties of these peculiar events. They do not follow a typical trend of colour evolution, their spectral
diversity is most noticeable feature amongst all the observational properties. They form a link between their spectral diversity at late times with their explosion scenario.
