Companies that are members of the Indian Direct Selling Association (IDSA) are required to abide by the IDSA Direct Selling Code of Ethics, which is overseen by an independent Code Administrator appointed under the IDSA Code framework. IDSA provides the institutional support for this system and acts as the coordinating body for Code‑related matters.
In addition, member companies must comply with all applicable national and state‑level rules, guidelines, and any recognised self‑regulatory codes for direct selling in the markets where they operate. Issues relating to compliance with these provisions may be reviewed and decided upon by the relevant Code Administrator or industry body responsible for direct selling oversight.
Who can complain when a breach of the Code of Ethics is suspected?
Consumers may lodge a complaint concerning products or services acquired from:
- The primary Direct Selling Company.
- An authorized direct seller representing the organization.
Direct Sellers can log a complaint regarding:
- The parent organization, for issues related to corporate policies or support.
- Fellow representatives, to address professional conduct or network standards.
Companies may file a formal grievance provided that:
- The Target: The complaint is directed against another direct selling company.
- The Reason: The issue specifically involves a breach of the established Code of Ethics.
