The Home Ministry of India has decided to allow e-commerce platforms in India like Amazon and Flipkart to start delivering smartphones and other non-essential items.

If you are not able to buy smartphones and other electronic products online for the last one and a half months, then there is good news for you.

The Home Ministry of India has allowed the delivery of non-essential items on e-commerce platforms in India Amazon, Flipkart, Paytm Mall, etc. from May 4 with some conditions.

It is important to mention that these e-commerce platforms in India have been delivering only the essential goods at home for a long month and a half.

However, this permission is only for people living in the Orange and Green zones. At the same time, people living in the Red zone and Containment zones will have to wait till May 17 for this online service.
