What is a Trade Agreement?
A Trade agreement is an arrangement between two or more nations agreeing on the terms of trade between them. They determine the tariffs and duties that countries impose on imports and exports.

What is a FTA?
India has signed Free Trade Agreements with Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN countries), Sri Lanka, and Thailand which allow for liberal trade terms between the countries.

What is a PTA?
A Preferential Trade Agreement between India and its trading partner provides “right of entry” to certain products. This is done by reducing tariffs on an agreed number of products. India enjoys several PTAs with countries such as Bangladesh, China, South Korea, and Sri Lanka.

How is a FTA different from a PTA?
PTAs serve to reduce tariffs on products but not eliminate them while FTAs completely eliminate tariffs.
