Frequently Asked Questions

What is intermediary liability under the IT Act?

Under Section 79 of the IT Act and the IT (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules, 2021, digital intermediaries (platforms, hosting providers, social media) receive safe harbour from liability for user-generated content if they comply with due diligence obligations, including appointing grievance officers, content moderation timelines, and cooperation with government orders. Non-compliance can expose platforms to civil and criminal liability.

What legal compliance is required for an e-commerce marketplace?

E-commerce marketplaces must comply with Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020, including mandatory disclosures (return policy, grievance redressal, seller details), prohibition on manipulating search results, seller agreement requirements, and appointment of a nodal contact person. Additionally, data privacy compliance under the DPDP Act, 2023 is essential for processing customer data.
