Central Govt Issues Notice to Amazon & Flipkart for Not Displaying Country of Origin Amid Sale Season

News 18  

The Central government has issued notices to Amazon and Flipkart for not displaying the country of origin of the products sold on their websites amid the platforms’ ongoing annual sales event in India. “It has come to the notice of the Department of Consumer Affairs that some of the e-commerce entities are not displaying the mandatory declaration as required under the Legal Metrology Rules, 2011,” the notice reads. The government’s notice over products’ country of origin comes at a time when there’s a massive push for products under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative. The campaign that translates to self-reliant India is the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of making India “self-sustaining and self-generating.” It appears that the idea behind displaying the country of origin on the products is to make sure that customers are aware of full details at the time of purchase.
