Last year, the Karnataka commercial tax department banned the delivery of goods on delivery services in the state, so Jabong, Myntra, Flipkart and Snapdeal suspended the service.

The electricity supplier has a daily sales of more than 100 million rupees.

Because of tax evasion, their products can be reduced to a very low discount rate.

A spokesman for Flipkart said: "all our pactions are pparent.

The company's business practices strictly abide by local laws, and we will actively communicate with the authorities to avoid misunderstanding.
