Article 10 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the freedom of trade, commerce, and intercourse within the territory of India. This means that citizens of India have the right to engage in trade, commerce, and intercourse without any restrictions or barriers imposed by the government. However, this freedom is not absolute and can be restricted by the government in certain circumstances such as for the protection of public health, safety, morals, or for the protection of the rights of other citizens. The government can impose reasonable restrictions on the freedom of trade, commerce, and intercourse in the interests of the general public. These restrictions can include laws related to taxes, tariffs, and other regulations that may be necessary to protect the public interest.
