Case Details: In the matter of Samrudhi Co-operative Housing Society Ltd. vs Mumbai Mahalaxmi Constructions Pvt. Ltd. (Civil Appeal No. 4000 of 2019) before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India

('Respondent') before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India arising out of an impugned judgement passed by the Hon'ble National Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission ('NCDRC'). The Appellant contention before the Apex Court was that the NCDRC has erred in disposing of the complaint by holding that the complaint is not maintainable as it is not a consumer dispute and is grossly barred by limitation.

India’s New E-Commerce Rules: What The Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) (Amendment) Rules, 2026 Mean For Platforms, Marketplaces And Sellers In India

For most of the last decade, e-commerce compliance in India has been a question of what a platform says: the disclosures on a product page, the terms in a policy, the identity of a seller. The Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) (Amendment) Rules, 2026 change the question. They reach into how a platform is built and how it behaves, its ranking logic, its discount displays, its interface design and its use of consumer data, and make those matters of compliance rather than of commercial discretion. Notified on 9 September 2026 and effective from 1 January 2027, the amendments give businesses a defined, and short, runway to adapt.
