The two leaders discussed issues like Teesta water sharing and land boundary agreement with Bangladesh, which Banerjee has prevented Delhi from going ahead.
"The discussions lasted for 35 minutes and was cordial," said an official of the Indian ministry of external affairs.
But he was not prepared to discuss detail.
A formal briefing on Sushma Swaraj's visit and other foreign policy issues is due in the ministry on Wednesday evening.
Swaraj is expected to arrive Dhaka on Wednesday night on a three-day visit.
The visit is characterised as a courtesy visit, so no agreements are likely to be signed , but Swaraj will reiterate India's sovereign commitments on Teesta Water sharing and the land boundary agreement.
