JAMMU, Sept 23: Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) submitted memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi through Deputy Commissioners and Deputy Collectors across the country.
In Jammu, a deputation of CAIT led by its President Neeraj Anand submitted the memorandum to Deputy Commissioner Jammu Anshul Garg demanding rolling out of E-Commerce Rules under Consumer Protection Act.
“We strongly align ourselves with Prime Minister’s “Atamnirbhar Bharat” and “Digital India” vision which will enable small traders to adopt digital commerce under Digital India program and thereby putting all efforts to establish supremacy of the law of the land and providing much needed even level playing field for all stakeholders and also in larger benefit of the consumers of India”, the memorandum reads.
“It is gratifying to note that the draft rules of e-commerce under Consumer Protection Act have been greatly welcomed by one and all barring few vested interest entities who are habitual critics of any reformative step of the Government”, the memorandum reads further.
“As expected few organizations in the Country are bent upon creating roadblocks to ensure that reforms are derailed and the e-commerce sector should remain in the hands of few of the dictatorial forces. It is highly painful to observe that even Niti Aayog has also joined the chorus without realizing the fact”, the memorandum reads.
“As per the announcement the last date of submission of objection on the draft ecommerce policy was 21st July, 2021 and since then more than one and half month has passed, we presume that by now the suggestions must have been studied. Therefore, in the wake of ensuing festive season of country, the traders across the Country are waiting for immediate rolling out of e-commerce rules so that thousands of e-commerce entities working all over the Country can conduct their businesses in a structured way by complying the stipulations of the rules which will also be in larger interest of the consumers of the Country”, the memorandum reads further.
“We are sure that it will receive your kind attention and you will be pleased to direct the rollout of the said rules immediately without further loss of time. Meanwhile, we also urge you to implement E-Commerce Policy”, the memorandum reads.
