As the fight between Indian ecommerce market stakeholders and US-based ecommerce giant Amazon heats up, in yet another communication, this time to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has alleged irregularities and violations to laws by Amazon, while seeking an immediate investigation into alleged misuse of legal professional charges.
CAIT, currently on a “Halla Bol” campaign against ecommerce giants such as Amazon and Flipkart, previously wrote to the Competition Commission of India (CCI), demanding immediate steps for aggressive investigation into the business model of Amazon (as well as Flipkart).
