In a statement issued to leading media organization Flipkart spokesperson has said, "We observe a zero tolerance policy on incidents where sellers are found violating rules pertaining to quality, pricing or genuineness of a product. We perform surprise checks on sellers to audit product quality. Sellers failing to pass the audit are de-listed. As part of our latest initiative, 'Utkarsh' , improving seller's business and keeping a tight check on quality are the most critical areas of our business."

plans to order around 40 lakh bedsheets amounting to roughly Rs 100 crore for its private label brand especially meant for sale during its impending Big Billion Day sale.
