CAIT Criticises US Lobby Group for Urging India Not to Tighten E-commerce FDI Rules
FOLLOW US ON:
A US lobby group which represents firms including Amazon.com and Walmart has urged India not to tighten foreign investment rules for e-commerce companies again, according to a letter seen by Reuters.
India is considering revising the rules after traders in the country accused Amazon s Indian division and Walmart s Flipkart of creating complex structures to bypass investment regulations, Reuters reported this month. The US companies deny any wrongdoing.
Meanwhile, responding to the demand, the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) on Saturday criticised the USIBC. The traders body shot off a letter to US-India Business Council (USIBC) President Nisha Biswal, stating that without knowing the true facts and under pressure of Amazon, Walmart and others, the USIBC s intervention is unwarranted which runs against the interest of the 85 million traders of India .
