Flipkart has an ongoing a 9-day sale on fashion products from June 10 - June 18 to clear its inventories. "The objective behind our hosting this exclusive sale event is to reach out to the millions of fashion-savvy Indians across the country," Flipkart Fashion Head Rishi Vasudev said.

Products from around 50 brands, including Aeropostale, Vero Moda, Forever 21, Under Armour, Kenneth Cole, Crocs, Adidas are available on discounts in this sale.

The clearance of inventory is aimed at avoiding the cost of making the old stocks GST compliant. The move comes even though the GST Council increased input tax credit on stocks lying unsold from 40 per cent to 60 percent.
