Flipkart Big Billion Days sale is back. The e-commerce behemoth's discount 'bonanza' starts October 2 and will continue till October 6 – Flipkart has an over 60% market share in its segment. While Flipkart sale deals and offers promise huge discounts, buyers should know that government has virtually capped the amount of cuts in prices the e-retailers can make and also, since they have been making losses, there is an investor backlash that has made the e-tailers cut back on juicy prices that had spoilt consumers no end even till last year – latest DIPP guidelines ban e-commerce majors from offering deep discounts.
