We’re receiving complaints against widespread cheating and unfair trade practices, says Ministry
To monitor the deep discounts offered on e-commerce websites, the government on Monday proposed changes to the Consumer Protection (e-commerce) Rules 2020, banning all “flash sales”. The proposed changes have been put up on the website of the Ministry of Consumer Affairs calling for public comments till July 6. The Ministry clarified that the ‘conventional’ flash sale has not been banned. Only ‘predatory’ ones will be banned though the proposed rules leave a lot of grey area. The Ministry of Consumer Affairs, in a statement, said it has been receiving several complaints against widespread cheating and unfair trade practices being observed in the e-commerce ecosystem.
