For those that have been following international direct-selling news will be happy to hear that India is finally putting some measures into place to progress the direct-selling industry in their country, which has been sorely lacking the support. Although a small baby step toward the results needed, it is a step in the right direction.

Welcoming the formation of an inter ministerial committee to look into their issues, direct sellers have asked the government to frame a separate regulation after consulting all stakeholders in a time-bound manner for the sector.

The India Direct Selling Association (IDSA), which falls under the Prize Chits & Money Circulation Schemes (PCMCS) (Banning) Act, has been asking for a separate legislation for some time.
