This would be the last sale before the guidelines set by the Department of Industrial Policy Promotion (DIPP) of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry come into play from 1st February. In December, DIPP rolled out the final guidelines for the functioning of e-commerce websites in India. This means that change is awaiting for these e-commerce platforms like Flipkart, Amazon , Paytm etc. to name a few. The biggest impact of these guidelines will be that we will not be getting the attractive discounts and cashbacks on the products that we used to get till now. Now these online marketplaces will have lesser influence on the prices of certain products being sold on their platform.
