Well I had knowingly tested the waters with 3050 disguised as 4080 at the price of 3050 .. thankfully the Amazon delivery guy, because he delivers a lot to me, and i rarely reject any delivery , accepted to let me have a look before OTP, and indeed it was 3050 (also it was lighter) so i rejected. No harm done to my money but it's a trend, Amazon is getting worse.
In defence of Clicktech Retail Private Limited, I have so far received 2 items, all with Amazon tamper proof seal and 1 item was May 2024 imported and on good deal price.
I'm only saying this for me based on very very limited info, so far , to me at least, the seller looks like Amazon Shell company.
That said, I have my eyes on 9000 series AMD processor but I'm afraid to order them from Amazon wheather it's from Clicktech or Appario
Amazon India legal staff would have to be pretty incompetent to setup such a similar name sounding shell company.
I think "Clicktech Retail Private Ltd" may be genuine. These are the reasons why I think they are genuine:
1. In the sellers page, once I click on "See all products currently offered by the seller" for "Clicktech Retail Private Ltd", Amazon shows over 60000 results. If I do the same with "Clicktech Retail", Amazon shows over 70000 results. If "Clicktech Retail Private Ltd" was a scammer, I doubt they would be able to have such a huge list of products.
2. I had recently ordered multiple items from "Clicktech Retail Private Ltd" without realizing it. All came without issues, except one rechargeable battery set. The batteries themselves were fine, but paper part of the packing was badly damaged. Now, when I click on any of the items delivered from "Clicktech Retail Private Ltd" in my order history and choose "leave seller feedback", Amazon takes me to the page of "Appario Retail Private Ltd"! This makes me think these two are related.
"Appario Retail Private Ltd" has a rating of 3.7 out of 5 from 52052 ratings. "Clicktech Retail Private Ltd" has a rating of 2.9 out of 5 from 737 ratings. So, may be "Clicktech Retail" could be the odd one with 4.8 out of 5 from 17,990 ratings.

Will need some concrete link between the two. At present, the company that lists itself as Clicktech Retail Private Ltd on LinkedIn is the one owned by the Poddar group and all the links they post on LinkedIn link back to items with 'Clicktech Retail' as the seller. If they do link to items sold by the other seller, then may be they are the same.

A lot of PC cabinets are being sold by the following seller:
Clicktech Retail Private Ltd
^^ Above seller is legit and ok to order from? This seller is kind of like what Appario was right?

I was confused, and then, like @guest_999 in post #22 above, I came to the conclusion that Clicktech Retail was the genuine Amazon one and Clicktech Retail Private Ltd was fake.
Then as @unni has said in post #25, I clicked the leave seller feedback option, and in the next page, there were four sellers listed from whom I've bought products over the past few months: RK World Infocom Pvt Ltd (83% positive in the last 12 months), Appario Retail Private Ltd (69% positive), Darshita Mobiles (76% positive) and Dishita enterprises [not capital E] (57% positive in the last 12 months with only 67 ratings total). If I click the leave seller feedback option in any of these sellers, they all go to the same page with the four sellers I listed above. This made me think they are all related and Amazon owned.
But then I clicked the feedback button for an unknown seller called NDCOM from whom I've never bought anything (I checked in order history for this), and again the same page with the four sellers I listed above opens. I think what this means is that when you click on the leave seller feedback option on any seller, Amazon just redirects to the last few sellers from whom you have bought a product. What this means is that Clicktech Retail Private Ltd is not necessarily the new Appario.
Click on the leave feedback option for seller NDCOM:
Another thing:
This is seller Clicktech Retail Private Limited with 85% positive ratings out of a total of 45 ratings:
And this is seller Clicktech Retail Private Ltd with 53% positive ratings out of a total of 8771 ratings:
And this is Clicktech Retail, with no Private or Limited, with 100% positive ratings out of a total of 19236 ratings:
I think only the last one is the Amazon one, while the other ones are fake ones.

I skimmed through my past orders and it seems CR and CRP Ltd are the same:
Does anyone have an invoice from "Limited" to compare GST number?

Question arise why & how Amazon Allow 3 different company to use same identical name, with very little changes in name? Isn't it Strange?
but that you came to know once order reached at your place and you accept the parcel, correct me if I'm wrong@n1r0 Using GST number - that's a nice way to check whether the sellers are the same or different.
I was wondering the same thing. Maybe Amazon gets some kind of tax benefit doing it this way, or maybe it was just a mistake on their part, I don't know.
I think before the order is delivered, you only have the order number. After order delivery, you get the invoice which has the GST no. But if others have ordered from the same seller in the past, they can share the GST no and in this way we can find out more about the seller.
The fact that it is allowed probably means all 3 are legit. I noticed one of them has a lot of refurbished items which might explain the lower, but still legit ratings
Legally speaking, when items are in transit, it should be accompanied by a copy of the invoice + e-way bill (in certain circumstances). Haven't checked it wrt Amazon, but invoice should generated before the item is dispatched I think
But it seems such sellers have the intention of fooling/scamming customers by confusing them with similar names.
For example, the lower-rated Clicktail Retail Ltd would fool unsuspecting shoppers with the same name (read: slightly altered to avoid being caught, Puja Khedkar-Style). Shoppers who don't double-check ratings would think they are buying from the real Clicktail.
This should be flagged, to keep such shitty sellers in check.

I've already provided proof that Clicktech Retail (CR) and Clicktech Retail Private Ltd (Ltd) are one and the same.
If someone can share invoice from Clicktech Retail Private Limited (Limited), we can assume it's Az being it's scummy self and put the matter to rest.

Hope this helps
Something interesting i noticed is that final amount is 16300, whereas i paid only 13800 for this after instant cc discount.
Never seen an amount different than i paid in the invoice before .
