Union minister Piyush Goyal on Sunday assured that every stakeholder's interest will be taken into consideration while framing the e-commerce policy which would be robust and in the interest of every Indian.

Goyal, who was in Dubai to inaugurate India pavilion at Dubai Expo 2020, said that the whole purpose of an inter-ministerial consultation was to get views and comments from different quarters.

 Goyal, who heads commerce and industry as well as consumer affairs ministries, also said that he welcomes all the feedback on the draft e-commerce rules but comments about inter-departmental issues on the draft rules are totally unwarranted. The minister's comments has come following reports that the Department for Promotion of Internal Industry and Trade (DPIIT), the Corporate Affairs Ministry and the Niti Aayog have objected to some provisions of the draft e-commerce rules.

Goyal said that the whole purpose of an inter-ministerial consultation was to get views and comments from different quarters. "I do believe that I welcome all the feedback and look forward to very robust and healthy consultations with all the stakeholders...We are trying to balance everybody's interest and come up with a robust framework in which this (policy) can be implemented in the interest of all Indians," Goyal said. The very purpose of releasing draft rules is to elicit public opinion, ideas from other departments, from stakeholders, encourage feedback, he said.
