The government fears introducing laws for e-commerce


- The government has remained silent on the issue of small grocery stores suffering the biggest loss from e-commerce.

The government is afraid of announcing the proposed e-commerce law. E-commerce companies are currently engaged in Diwali sale but it is expected that the law will come out at any time. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal last week reassured that the interests of everyone involved in e-commerce would be taken into consideration. The government has remained silent on the issue of small grocery stores being the biggest losers from e-commerce. No action has yet been taken to benefit grocery shopkeepers. All eyes are on the new eCommerce law. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

Controversy has erupted over the government's hasty introduction of agrarian reform legislation. In the field of e-commerce, the government wants to control the world's giant companies such as Amazon and Walmart. These companies have been arbitrary. Just as Google and Facebook have been swayed by the government and forced to remove some objectionable messages, so too will the e-commerce giants.

The village economy is thriving because of the small shops at the town level and in the villages. It has been suggested that large e-commerce companies should take some goods from village producers. The new law for ecommerce could pose a problem for Ease of Doing Business in India. The policy commission has also expressed fears that strict measures will have to be taken to curb e-commerce or else they will deceive consumers. There is not much difference between internet giants and e-commerce giants. Just as the government knocked on the door of the court to curb the internet giants, so could the e-commerce giants. E-commerce does not bind anyone in the price war.

The government held discussions with its affiliated departments on issues like Data Privacy Law, National Education Policy, Jewelery Hall Marking etc. Although local jewelers protested in the hall marking case, they have now all joined the new law. All these fields are old. But e-commerce is a new field in India. The progress of e-commerce in India is unimaginable. Now many companies are investing in it. India's e-commerce companies could clash with US giants On June 21, India unveiled a draft e-commerce law. The controversy started after seeing this draft. It was alleged that the government has a lukewarm attitude towards e-commerce companies.

The village economy is thriving because of the small shops at the town level and in the villages. The Consumer Protection Department will also have to think for the protection of e-commerce customers. On the other hand, the Ministry of Commerce has to think about the benefits of e-commerce and its protection. The Ministry of Commerce is looking at why trade is growing but at the same time has a responsibility to look after the rural economy. Keeping every sector involved in e-commerce happy is a daunting task for the government. When the draft was last presented, it included selling goods at lower prices as well as quality checking. The government has covered a number of issues such as appointing a grievance redressal officer, special consumer protection for e-commerce, registration of e-commerce companies seeking to operate in India as well as providing information to the government agency within two hours if requested. Strict action has also been demanded against e-commerce companies if they are found to be cheating.

At this stage, the government is reluctant to issue new e-commerce laws. The biggest impact of the law will be on companies like Amazon and Flipkart. Attempts have been made to at least evade the law. Legislation for consumer safety is being demanded.
