Search for "buy crackers online" and you will find dozens of websites with shopping carts. But in its October 2018 order on firecrackers, the Supreme Court directed that firecrackers must not be sold through e-commerce websites. Licensed manufacturers follow that direction.
Why the restriction?
Fireworks are explosives. Their sale is controlled by licences under the Explosives Act and Rules, and the authorities need to know who is selling to whom and how goods are transported. An anonymous online checkout doesn't fit that system.
How legitimate ordering works
- Browse the catalogue and price list on the manufacturer's website — like our products and price list.
- Send an enquiry with the items and quantities you want.
- Receive a quote covering items, packing, taxes and transport.
- Confirm the order directly with the manufacturer's sales team.
- Dispatch by authorised transport to your town, with proper documents.
This keeps the transaction between you and a licensed business, with a person you can call.
Protect yourself from fake sellers
Every season, fake "Sivakasi" websites take advance payments and disappear. Warning signs include:
- No verifiable factory address or licence details.
- Prices far below every other seller.
- Only a mobile number, with pressure to pay immediately.
- Payment requested to a personal account or UPI ID with a different name.
When in doubt, call the company, ask for their licence details and GST number, and check them.
