Ten News Caught with the National General Secretary of the Federation Shri V.K. Bansal on Friday, Speaking to Ten News said,

The online companies are engaged in expanding and expanding their business despite the severe losses.India's retail merchant and small shopkeeper is in a stunned position with growing online trade and growing foreign wholesale and Cash and Carry in India . Indigenous Traders are unable to understand how they will feed more than 440 million people dependent on them whose livelihoods are retail.




He further said, "The fear of India's retail merchandise is not baseless, because the work of foreign online employees is suspicious. The Major online business in India are getting finance from outside. They are also openly debunking the Indian Law Payment and Settlement System Act 2007 which debars them to sell on Cash on Delivery Model."


"According to a recently published news , 90% of complaints filed by Indian consumers are against online vendors. This figure shows that online retailers are cheating with India's poor consumers, which is not in the interest of the country.
The adverse consequence of this is that the said company has to retire its sales and marketing staff .Thus unemployment problem is likely to be enhanced," Added Bansal.
