Abstract

Electronic commerce – conducting business through network technology – is no longer confined to developed nations. Countries like India, with its hugely skilled labour force, have exceptional opportunities to benefit from e-commerce. However India’s 2000 Information Technology Act is over-complex and risks hindering the development of e-commerce in India.
