CNBCTV18Online ticket booking platforms under scanner over ‘excessive’ cancellation chargesThe Department of Consumer Affairs has directed the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) to investigate online ticket booking platforms over allegations of imposing excessive cancellation charges on consumers beyond what airlines themselves levy or disclose. The probe follows a complaint by BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga that travel platform Agoda charged cancellation fees 15 times higher than those levied by Akasa Air for the same flight, which Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi said may constitute "unfair trade practices" under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. The move signals increased regulatory scrutiny of online travel intermediaries amid rising consumer complaints over hidden charges and refund-related practices.MintCCPA launches probe into e-commerce giants over sale of unregistered herbicide | Today NewsThe Central Consumer Protection Authority has launched a detailed investigation into major e-commerce platforms Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, and JioMart over the sale and advertisement of Cyclosinone Herbicide, an allegedly unregistered agrochemical product marketed for weed control in farms and landscaped areas. The regulatory body had issued notices directing the platforms to remove the listings and explain their due diligence mechanisms, with the e-commerce companies responding that listings were removed immediately and seller accounts are being examined for further action. The action follows a complaint routed through the Agriculture Ministry based on representations from the Crop Care Federation of India, which alleged the herbicide was being sold online in violation of the Insecticides Act, 1968.The Indian ExpressCCPA imposes Rs 15 lakh fine on two coaching institutes for deceptive JEE, NEET adsThe Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) in India imposed fines totaling Rs 15 lakh on two coaching institutes for running deceptive advertisements promoting their JEE and NEET coaching programmes.

Both institutes were held guilty of unfair trade practices and infringement of consumer rights.The Times of IndiaConsumer panel roasts eateries over service charge, warns of penalty of up to Rs 50,000India's Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has issued a fresh directive warning restaurants that service charges must remain optional, with diners having the right to refuse them, and has initiated suo motu proceedings against 27 restaurants nationwide besides pulling up a food chain on February 4 for levying the charge. The authority has determined that mandatory service charges constitute unfair trade practices under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, with penalties of up to Rs 50,000 for violations. Hotel associations have indicated they will comply with the directive while hinting at a legal challenge, with the National Restaurant Association of India stating it is already contesting the issue in court.ProphazeTop Cybersecurity Compliance Standards in 2025 -The article discusses the top cybersecurity compliance standards expected in 2025, including ISO/IEC 27001:2022, SOC 2, NIST CSF 2.0, PCI DSS 4.0, GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, ISO/IEC 42001:2023, and DORA, detailing their updates, requirements, and relevance.
