Why GOI shouldn't support ecommerce startups
Ordered a product on Snapdeal
MRP printed on product = 1325
VAT invoice from seller to comsumer says value of goods = 895
Product invoice from seller through snapdeal says value of goods = 780
Actual money charged by snapdeal = 499
These sites are literally giving away VCs money to kill small retailer.
They are flouting commerce ministry norms about deep discounting
Plus dont know what all tax and accounting hacks are being used.
Should India have such a start up India. Risk is good startups will suffer due to these big names going bust more
