I can not find a single listing on Amazon by Cloudtail or Appario.

This is the Appario Retail seller page:

Amazon.in Seller Profile: Appario Retail Private Ltd

And this is its Storefront:

*www.amazon.in/s?marketplaceID=A21TJRUUN4KGV&me=A14CZOWI0VEHLG&merchant=A14CZOWI0VEHLG

When I opened a few of the products, the sellers were always other ones, and not Appario.

So what happens to products that we have bought from Appario? Are they still bound by the terms they offered before this rule came into effect?

... i bought an external 2tb hdd from amazon last month for only 5.2k( from cloudtail)-had i bought it from some retail outlet in my area,it would have costed me 6k or more!

Same here. Hope you registered the HDD on the manufacturer's website.

So I read the guidelines from the government, and if they are to be followed to the letter, then even 'flipkart assured' and 'fulfilled by amazon' is forbidden! All items must be seller fulfilled! We all know how that goes..

Hope that stays, because if Amazon fulfilled or Flipkart assured is scrapped, then I'm not buying anymore!

What about the 10% instant discount by paying by card, will it also be scrapped?

My only guess is that they are doing this to appease the brick & mortar store wallas.
They will surely change this after the elections.
You will remember my words then.

To be precise he is not listening to shopkeepers but those "swadeshi organizations" who are afraid that amazon/walmart/any big foreign co. will "enslave India aka east India company style" by using their "superior technology/standards/brain power" because as well all know it is better to pursue vedic sciences exceeding modern science to create next pushpak vimaan by the end of kalyuga a few thousands(or billions depending on whom you ask) years from now instead of getting diverted to deal with issues of foreign co using modern technology in a better way.

In summary it is like this :grin: :

I would like to correct you a little here, all India retailer/wholesaler etc. associations were pressuring this fuddu sarkar to make a rule so that these e-commerce websites stop giving so much discount's. They are protesting since 2014 only. We all know the reason behind the timing of implementing this. No Swadeshi shit here.

Offtopic- Anna Hazare is fasting in his town aa the Lokpal thing hasn't been implemented despite assurances. He is not allowed to do the same in the capital. Mainstream media suck bjp's balls so they won't cover it much. Anna wrote a letter to pmo about the same again and he got a reply received, thanks.

Don't worry the warranty/registration cannot be denied as long as you have the invoice. Amazon isn't going anywhere.

In some other thread you were taking side of this government. My question vakil sahab, how can you trust a government which is doing all this for votes?

Whatever rss says, bjp will always say yes to them, remember Mandir vahi banayenge? They are portraying that they are emphasizing on Swadeshi shit whereas it was those association's who pressurised them. Congress, bjp etc are all one behind the curtain.

The only thing bjp & congress agree on along with all other parties in India except this party Swarna Bharat Party-Role of government in a free society is that foreign companies are always bad/businessmen are all evil/people prefer doles handed out by govt instead of providing job opportunities. If by some miracle this party comes to power & sticks to its manifesto then it will privatize 90% of current govt held organizations/areas(expect to see walmart stores US style in all major Indian cities then among many other things).

Amazon India | FDI rules: Amazon plans wholesale makeover to become ecommerce FDI compliant

If this goes into play then reputed non-Amazon/fk sellers will be kings.

is there any chance that amazon may start offering its wide array of amazonbasics items at their indian site in the foreseeable future?

I wonder how they are planning to accomplish the upcoming sales of the galaxy m series phones,given that the new rules have essentially forbidden them from selling any exclusive items(as far as i've heard).

Walmart will never disinvest as it would lead straight to loss+brand image and what not. The reason why Amazon and FK haven't approached the higher courts is because this government is repeating in the coming elections and they wouldn't want to mess with them.

I think he meant same govt coming back to power in which case it is not advisable to have bad relations with it.

If you meant how this govt can come back to power after doing such a thing(aka the new e-commerce rules) then it is not even worth mentioning in scheme of grand scene of Indian politics.
