Traders body CAIT on Sunday said it has sought intervention of Commere and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal in taking action against some e-commerce firms indulging in malpractices.
In a communication to the minister, the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) said that e-commerce is a promising future mode of business, but it is "greatly vitiated" by certain "malpractices" resulting into creation of an uneven level playing field and unfair competition.
"The government must take immediate steps to eliminate all such malpractices (to) enable the e-commerce market a even level playing field with fair competition," it said.
The e-commerce sector should not fall prey to the wills and whims of some major e-commerce players, it said.
It suggested mandatory registration of e-commerce companies, whether big or small, with the ministry.
