BIS plans to sue e-commerce sellers

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is planning to sue e-commerce sellers Amazon and Walmart-owned Flipkart and seek compensation from the platforms for allegedly selling non-BIS certified goods on their platforms, said people with direct knowledge of the matter.
The development comes after BIS raided the warehouses of Amazon and Flipkart in March this year, when it seized goods that the government body described as non-certified. Both Amazon and Flipkart did not immediately respond to requests for a comment.
