India raises questions at WTO over interim arrangement to implement e-commerce pact

India has raised questions in the WTO regarding an interim e-commerce agreement. This pact was agreed upon by only sixty-six member countries of the organisation. India argues that such agreements bypass the required multilateral consensus among members. The country seeks clarity on the institutional and legal basis for the interim arrangements. These issues will be discussed at the General Council's next meeting.
