Consumer Affairs Secretary Rohit Kumar Singh said, “We have also got 223 major e-commerce websites reviewed. It found that 55 percent of the websites violate the European Union's rules of buying and selling. In the case of 144 websites, the authorities were also unable to verify that they were making any effort to make the merchant reviews authentic.
Law will be made based on discussion with them
