India investigates Amazon, Flipkart, and Myntra over hidden fees on cash-on-delivery orders, calling them deceptive practices.
India’s government is investigating e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, Flipkart, and Myntra, over allegations of charging hidden fees—such as platform, payment, and protection charges—on cash-on-delivery orders, calling the practices "dark patterns" that mislead consumers.
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi confirmed a probe is underway, citing widespread complaints about unexpected fees revealed only at checkout, which inflate prices without clear disclosure.
The move follows a ₹2 lakh penalty against FirstCry for misleading pricing and aims to enforce transparency under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
