The Indian government on Monday released draft amendments to the consumer protection e-commerce rules, a move aimed at giving teeth to the existing for more stringent and effective protection of consumers’ rights. The draft rule proposes to increase the liability on e-commerce entities for unfulfilled orders, suggest domestic alternatives to imported products, and register themselves with the government, among other things.
