E-commerce platform in Bangladesh, Evaly has been given a week’s time to provide explanations on queries sought by the Ministry of Commerce on its owed liabilities to customers as well as three weeks’ time to address its merchants’ liabilities.
Media reports maintained this while adding this was in response to Evaly’s request to provide it six months to respond in details as to how it plans to address the issue of customers’ and merchants’ liabilities.
The decision towards this was, reportedly, reached after a recent meeting of the nine-member inter-ministerial committee, headed by Commerce Secretary Tapan Kanti Ghosh with representatives from Bangladesh Bank, National Board of Revenue (NBR), Directorate of National Consumers’ Right Protection (DNCRP), Bangladesh Competition Commission, ICT Division and the Home Ministry.
As per the concerned ministry, the new time period has been given to Evaly considering the interests of both the consumers and the sector even as the Commerce Ministry has, reportedly, added that the time provided should be enough for the platform to explain the queries while underlining further action will be initiated if its response is found unsatisfactory.
