In how many fields indian government has put trade barrier
Answers
Trade barriers refer to certain restrictions which are imposed by the government for the free exchange or trading of goods and services with the foreign countries.
Reasons for the Indian government to impose trade barriers include:
1.To safeguard the domestic producers from foreign competition.It was clear that the domestic producers have to face a tough competition with the entry of foreign goods.
2.There was a fear that the economically strong countries would try to establish economic colonialism India through free trade.
3.Free trade economy would be a threat to society and culture as an entry of foreign goods and items would make people more westernized in outlook and appearance.
4.The Indian government wanted to establish a different standard of the economy which would be socialistic and look for welfare, not a capitalist economy looking for profit and business.
Example:
1. Indian govt. has put a tax on import of Chinese toys.
2. There have been imposed excise duties,custom duties,tax,etc. on other commodities,too.
