As digitalisation of Indian market has taken place and is growing day by day statutory regulation becomes important specially for e-commerce entities. For example, Amazon, Flipkart, etc. which were accused of predatory pricing, self-preferencing. However, everything cannot be written in law and some power is delegated to subordinate authorities which is important for smooth functioning of any regulation. On the other hand, it should also be ensured that is delegation does not exceed its limit.

It also compares the Bill with the Digital Markets Act of European Union to anaylsesss the loopholes on the bill and indicate that these should be amended in order to ensure smooth functioning of the Digitalised economy.
