NEW DELHI : As the second phase of national lockdown began from today, the Narendra Modi government issued fresh guidelines allowing all IT, IT-enabled services (ITeS) and e-commerce companies to function.
While the IT sector has been asked to work with upto 50% strength there is no such cap for e-commerce companies. "Digital economy is critical to the services sector and is important for national growth.
Accordingly, e-commerce operations, operations of IT and IT enabled services, data and call centres for government activities, and online teaching and distance learning are all permitted activities now," the Ministry of Home Affairs guidelines read.
