Food aggregators also charging surge

Taxi aggregators had been charging surge now food aggregators are doing so. Can something be done in ecommerce rules to address this atleast inform customer and then enforce caps. more

While the Government’s eCommerce rules amendment under Consumer Protection Act details product ecommerce and role of product sellers, it does not detail the rules for ecommerce services (travel sites, food delivery, hotel aggregators, app taxis etc.) and digital products (purchases of apps, software etc.) Should services and digital products be effectively detailed out in the rules?

Every one have the freedom to choose what they want. No one is forcing any one to get any thing from any body including Covid and Covid vaccine. If they can get food at 50% please opt for that choice. If someone want to do business on "No Profit-No Loss" they also have the freedom. But no one have the right to say who should pay for what purpose depends on the nations labour law. If you think they are cruel people exploiting their employees "DO NOT DEAL" with them. Then their business will fold up. If they listen to some of these demands from people who never bought an item or used any services, and start demanding or agitate for "employees welfare" they should start an ideal business model with their own money. How come people in the back row of a gallery dish out demands and advises? more

There has to be a cap on the taxis. They cannot cheat the individual customers especially as they use CNG and not petrol! more

There was a ln article in The Hindu on Sunday regarding the sorry state of the delivery personnel. Other than having no benefits, they have to get their own uniforms with the company logo. and then they get around ₹30 per order. And they have to pay for the petrol/diesel. On top of, if for whatever reasons the delivery is delayed, the customer gets the food free, and the cost goes out if the delivery person's pocket. Now, the price charged by the food aggregators for the food items is about 50% more than what it costs at the restaurant. Presume the restaurants also have to pay the aggregators a charge. The govt needs to enforce basic pay and benefits to the delivery personnel by the aggregators. Otherwise, they ride and are taken for a ride. more
