- India and the UK signed the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) on July 27, 2025.
- Also, this pact includes a dedicated chapter on digital trade.
- The agreement recognises electronic signatures and contracts and commits both sides to work towards mutual recognition.
- This reduces paperwork and facilitates smoother software exports.
- The agreement commits to zero customs duties on electronic transmissions, protecting a $30 billion software export market.
- But there is a concern that, India has limited its regulatory control by banning routine source-code inspections.
- The UK is India’s 4th largest export market, with export growth of 25% in 2024-25 over the previous year.
