A consumer court has imposed a penalty of ₹40,000 on the e-commerce giant Amazon for its failure to deliver a ₹100 rakhi (a traditional Indian thread tied during a festival) to a customer. The consumer forum's ruling highlights the accountability of e-commerce platforms for ensuring timely and proper fulfillment of customer orders, especially during festive seasons. The significant penalty amount, disproportionate to the value of the item, underscores the court's emphasis on consumer rights and the importance of reliable service delivery, sending a clear message to online retailers about their obligations.
