What is End User Agreement?

New Delhi:

So what is End User Agreement?

The US has similar agreements with 82 other countries.

The biggest hurdle for India was whether American inspectors should be allowed access to equipment inside Indian military installations at their will.

But India is claiming a diplomatic victory over the fact that the US will not have a unilateral right to inspect India's military bases or the military equipment it sells to India.

But the opposition and even some UPA allies argue that US weapons inspectors can walk into Indian military installations on the pretext of checking the use of US hardware.

The government insists such inspections will be done at a place and time of India's choice.

And this will be binding for all US military sales in the future not even changes in any US law in the future will impact the agreement.
