Draft e-commerce policy has left out key areas which may create issues: CAIT

The government on Saturday released the draft national e-commerce policy proposing setting up a legal and technological framework for restrictions on cross-border data flow.

Traders’ body CAIT on Saturday said the draft national e-commerce policy released by the government has left out some areas which may create new problems for the sector. “The draft of e-commerce policy looks to be innovative and good but at the same time several things have been left out,” CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal said.

According to him, the e-commerce policy should provide substantial platform for business and the draft seems to be silent on domestic players in the sector which is undesirable, and they should also be brought under the policy.
