Online Sellers Association AIOVA Previously Urged The Government To Instate An Ecommerce Regulator
Nirmala Sitharaman, the Minister of State for Commerce and Industry, has said that the government is ‘indecisive’ on setting up an ecommerce regulator. The statement was made during the Rajya Sabha session on July 19, 2017 on the basis of presentations made by online sellers body, All India Online Vendors Association (AIOVA).
In response to the queries raised by the opposition (during the session), the Minister said, “Ecommerce activities are governed by a number of Regulation Acts. The government has not reached a decision on setting up a central regulatory body to monitor ecommerce companies as of now.”
