It can play a big role in creating a level playing field for small retailers who are suffering due to unfair trade practices of global e-tailers. Government must not allow anyone to create roadblocks and derail this much-needed reform in the retail sector. There is no better time than now, ahead of the festive season, to roll out the e-commerce rules."The unorganised retail sector in India has a huge untapped potential and is the second-largest employment generator in the country after agriculture. It faces various challenges in the wake of the Covid pandemic, policy loopholes, and unfair business practices of e-commerce firms that are creating livelihood challenges for small retailers/merchants. These merchants have been demanding stringent action against errant e-commerce firms through a comprehensive policy framework for survival.During the festive season, retailers receive high traffic and see intense competition. It is that time of the year when the retail industry gears up with a hope to recover lost sales by capitalizing on the festivities. With the festive season just around the corner, the small retailers have intensified their efforts to demand the implementation of new e-commerce rules and ensure a level playing field for small retailers so that they remain competitive, sustain and thrive in a fast-changing retail world.FRAI entails 34 Retail Associations from North, South, East, and West as members of its Federation.
