These include trade and industry Associations, Consumer rights groups, various Government of India Ministries and other agencies etc. Various new ideas and suggestions came up and many of those have incorporated in the new Draft Consumer Protection Act. The same has now been circulated for public.

Some of these new points include -

1. Appointment of a Chief Compliance Officer,

2. Appointment of a "Resident Grievance Officer",

3. Added "Cross-selling"

4. "Fall back liability",

5. "Flash sale",

6. Registration of e-commerce entities,

7. No e-commerce entity shall allow any display or promotion of misleading advertisement whether in the course of business on its platform or otherwise.
