CCI seeks more info of anti-trust complaint filed against Amazon

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has sought details of an anti-trust complaint filed against Amazon India by a group of small online sellers.

A representative of the group called Aiova had filed a complaint on August 10, 2020 accusing Amazon India of anti-competitive practices such as preferential treatment  to equity holding sellers such as Amazon Retail and Cloudtail. Then the CCI had called for the details.

The CCI has sought details specifically on two points viz. the basis of preferential treatment for certain large sellers and the effect of Amazon’s private labels being sold on its platform.
