Amazon and Flipkart could be barred from holding flash sales as Indian Government proposes stricter norms

The union government has proposed some major changes to India’s Consumer Protection (E-commerce) Rules, 2020 that will impact major players like Amazon and Flipkart. If these strict norms are enforced, eCommerce platforms will be barred from holding flash sales and will have to undertake strict measures to curb preferential selling. 

A flash sale will include the promotion of deep discounts and offers, and also of reduced prices for a certain period of time on select goods and services. Such flash sales are major traffic pullers for e-commerce platforms, especially during festive sales, and this restriction is bound to have a serious impact. 

The new changes require e-commerce platforms to have ranking parameters that don’t discriminate against domestic goods and sellers. They will have to ensure that consumers aren’t misled by manipulated search results. 

To comply with the new rules, every e-commerce platform in India will need to register Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and will have to ensure that the registration number is “prominently displayed to its users”. It will also have to develop an “adequate grievance redressal mechanism” and appoint a Chief Compliance Officer.

The e-commerce websites will have to take responsibility for misleading adverts on their platforms and will share liability in case a seller fails to deliver goods or services “due to negligent conduct or omission”. 

E-commerce entities will be barred from using the data collected for the unfair advantage of related parties and associated enterprises who share a common director, managing partners or even a common chain or shareholders that have 10% or more stake in the company. 

All of these proposed changes are in response to the “countless complaints” that the government has received from consumers, traders, and associations against unfair practices and cheating prevalent on e-commerce platforms. The Department of Consumer Affairs has sought feedback on the proposed changes to Consumer Protection rules by July 6.

Samsung Galaxy M22 to get 25W charging support, but theres a catch

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy M22 has shown up on the FCC certification website revealing a few more details and connectivity options. One interesting bit is that the Galaxy M22 will support 25W fast charging and that’s always welcome on a budget Samsung phone. 

However, according to the listing, the phone will ship only with a 15W charger in the box. This is acceptable since the Galaxy M22 is expected to be a budget offering, and users will at least have an option to buy a 25W USB PD charger from any brand separately. 

Samsung has always been very conservative with fast charging on its phones. Baring a few pricey tier-1 flagships in the past that supported 45W fast charging, the most it offers is 25W, even for its high-end phones. Of those that still ship with a charger, only a few get 25W charging adaptors and the remaining ones make do with 15W adaptive fast charging - which is barely fast going by the 2021 standards. 

This isn’t the first time that we are seeing 25W charging on affordable and mid-range Samsung phone. In fact, phones like Galaxy M31s, Galaxy M51, and Galaxy A72 also bundled a 25W charger in the box in India.

Samsung Galaxy M22 Specifications and features 

Going by the rumours and leaks that have surfaced so far, the Galaxy M22 is expected to sport a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate, and include a side-mounted fingerprint reader. The handset will allegedly be powered by MediaTek Helio G80 paired with up to 6GB RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. 

The primary rear camera is expected to be a 48MP sensor with optical image stabilization. On the front, the Galaxy M22 will reportedly sport a 13MP selfie sensor. The software is likely to be OneUI 3.1 based on Android 11. The phone could feature a 6000mAh battery as well.

The recent FCC listing further reveals connectivity options including LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0 (with EDR and LE), NFC, and dual-SIM support.
