The festive season sale is starting on Amazon and Flipkart later this week. Festive season sale will be organized on both these e-commerce websites from 29 September to 4 October. In addition to many electronic products in this cell, fashion and home appliances will also be available with low price or discount offer. In the last few years, fraudulent incidents have occurred in the festive season sale. Also, the trend of online shopping in India has been increasing since 2014. Earlier Tier 1 city users used to buy products through online shopping. Now in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, users have started buying products through online shopping.

According to media reports, at present, the shopping market in India through the online portal is worth 25 billion dollars. It is believed that in the next 10 years, this market will reach 200 billion US dollars. Due to the increasing activity in the online sector, companies like Walmart, Amazon and Alibaba are going to invest in India. The policy was also drafted by the government on July 30 last year to create a regulator (authority) for the online sector. The purpose of this policy is to protect users from fraud during online shopping. Most customers check the rating of any product before purchasing goods in online shopping. If the rating is correct, then users usually buy the goods. Note that most of the reviews done on online sites are fake. Many customers, while looking for goods online or looking at the review or their photos, understand that the goods are very good, but as soon as the goods are delivered, many products turn out to be inferior. After this, online portals or e-commerce companies often refuse to take these goods back. The government has become stricter since such incidents have come to the fore.

The company or seller will give the customer 14 days when the defective, wrong or broken goods reach the customer. Will give a refund within Along with this, the complaint of the customer has to be completely resolved within 30 days. According to the details given on the portal, if the goods are not there, the customer will have the right to return the goods.
