It takes months before knowing the impact of a website or company to consumers, suppliers, value chain etc. it should be role of government to regularise them by taking first step of creating a register.
In contrast, IRDAI already has rules for ecommerce companies who are doing insurance aggregataion through web and has good rules and regulations for them, this has reduced the consumer issues in this industry to minimum.
