Abstract	This study examines the existing legislative framework in India that safeguards the interests of online customers in light of the rapidly expanding e-commerce sector and its impact on consumer preferences for online shopping. A thorough analysis of the two recently established laws—the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Consumer Protection (E-commerce) Rules, 2020—as well as a literature review support analysis of 290 online customers were carried out in order to address the study questions and achieve the objectives. Important conclusions include the following: cash on delivery is the preferred method of payment for online purchases; website content and efficient customer support services foster consumer confidence; and safe and dependable systems are critical to the success of e-business firms. One may argue that the new laws are sufficiently strict to uphold the rights of internet shoppers and encourage the expansion of e-commerce in India. In addition to elements like website information, customer service, warranty, security, privacy, and redressal, laws protecting consumer rights in e-commerce also have an impact on consumers' confidence. Expanding e-commerce appears to be promising given the strong legal framework and consumer protection policies in place. The findings add to the body of knowledge on e-commerce and the protection of consumer rights by clarifying the critical elements influencing customer loyalty and trust as well as providing an insightful viewpoint on e-consumer protection in the Indian context with wider implications.
