Online shoppers, how you may be the key part of the government’s new e-commerce policy

NEW DELHI: After the draft consumer protection rules, the government on Friday said it will soon issue the e-commerce policy, clarifying on certain aspects, as platforms were not following the rules, in letter and spirit.

“After we have finalised the consumer protection rules, we will come out with the e-commerce policy and whatever clarifications — we are not changing any policy for e-commerce for FDI. The policy is crystal clear since it (the sector) was opened up, but certain instances have come to our notice, where the policy is not being followed in letter and spirit. We will be obviously clarifying that very shortly,” commerce & industry and consumer affairs minister Piyush Goyal told reporters.
