- Flipkart is no longer accepting orders
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, India has been on total lockdown for close to a month now. This has greatly disrupted the working of e-commerce giants, who have just been restricted to essential deliveries. However, yesterday we learned that the government will allow e-commerce services to function normally from 20th April.
So yeah, if you have meaning to get a new smartphone – be it Poco X2 or Realme X50 Pro, you can now punch in your orders on Flipkart. Before you do that though, don’t forget to check out the updated list of smartphone phones right here. The government increased the GST tax rate on smartphones from 1st April, making phones like Realme 6, Redmi Note 9, Poco X2 among other slightly more expensive.

Following the Home Secretary’s orders announcing that e-commerce services will not be allowed to deliver non-essential goods from April 20, Flipkart has updated its app to reflect the same.
The company started accepting orders on Saturday, and is now saying that it will try to fulfil orders that have already been placed, but is no longer accepting new orders.
