Flipkart, an Indian online marketplace, has sued the state of Uttarakhand for its decision to impose a 10% entry tax on goods purchased through ecommerce.

Calling the levy discriminatory, the ecommerce company, has filed the writ through its in-house logistics arm EKart Logistics in the high court of Uttarakhand in Nainital, indiatimes.com reports.
