The Notification provides guidelines on unfair trade practices which may be considered as causing damage to restaurant operators. If any Online Food Delivery Platform commits any unfair practice under the Notification, it may be ordered by the Commission to suspend, stop, correct, or change such unfair practice under conditions prescribed by the Commission. It may also be subject to an administrative fine of up to 10% of its revenue for the year that such unfair practice was committed.
