Will continue engaging with govt to seek clarifications, says Amazon

Live Mint  

With requests for extension in deadline for new e-commerce rules being rejected, US e-tailing giant Amazon Thursday said it will continue to engage with the government to seek clarifications and work towards minimising impact on its customers and sellers. "While we remain committed to complying with all laws and regulations, we will continue to look to engage with the government to seek clarifications that help us decide our future course of action as well as minimise the impact on our customers and sellers," an Amazon spokesperson said. Batting for the players, the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum had dubbed the new e-commerce rules as "regressive" and said these changes would harm consumers, create unpredictability and have a negative impact on the growth of online retail in India. "Adherence to rule of law will allow India to create a genuine and robust e-commerce sector, which will ensure lasting gains for both buyers and sellers," a Snapdeal spokesperson said.
