All e-commerce companies have to undergo registration: Cabinet secretary
The government will supervise all e-commerce businesses, requiring them to undergo registration, said Cabinet Secretary Khandker Anwarul Islam.
"Necessary steps are being taken in this regard," said the cabinet secretary after a discussion on e-commerce business at the cabinet meeting today, chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
"As e-commerce cannot be shut down, all e-commerce businesses will be supervised by bringing them under registration. The government has almost completed an outline of how this will be done," said Khandaker Anwar.
