E-commerce has revolutionized the Indian marketplace by enabling electronic transactions over the internet and transforming traditional business practices. While it offers convenience, accessibility, and global reach, it also raises concerns regarding consumer safety, product authenticity, and grievance redressal. This paper examines the growth of e-commerce in India, its operational models, and the challenges faced by consumers. It critically analyses the legal framework under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020. The study further evaluates how strengthening consumer protection contributes to the national vision of Viksith Bharat, focusing on a transparent, secure, and inclusive digital economy.
