An ED probe has reportedly found that the e-commerce giants have oversight over their sellers’ operations, including control over warehouses, inventory and even profit margins

The ED has reportedly quizzed the 'top' five sellers of both firms and found that many are former employees or relatives of former associates of Amazon and Flipkart

The ED's investigation stems from multiple complaints alleging that Amazon and Flipkart have been violating Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) rules by directly or indirectly favouring select vendors.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has uncovered evidence suggesting that Amazon and Flipkart exert significant control over their preferred sellers. Investigations revealed close ties between these sellers and the e-commerce giants,
