A Kerala consumer commission ruled against courier firm Xpressbees after it failed to deliver a diaper order placed on FirstCry by a father.

Xpressbees could not produce any evidence of delivery attempts or customer refusal during the proceedings. The commission determined that the courier company was deficient in its service obligations. As a result, Xpressbees was directed to pay Rs 22,500 in compensation and litigation costs to the complainant.
India is developing a regulatory framework that would allow artificial intelligence agents to execute UPI payments without requiring human approval for each transaction. The proposed system, called the Unified Agent Protocol, would establish a standardized authorization mechanism for AI-driven payments.

If implemented, the framework could position India as a global pioneer in autonomous, agent-based payment infrastructure.
