Frequently asked questions
- What is Amazon India’s return window?
- 10 days on most electronics and 30 days on fashion, counted from delivery. Groceries, software downloads and personalised items are non-returnable, and large appliances need demo/installation before a claim.
- How long does an Amazon India refund take?
- Typically about 5 business days once the return is received or pickup completes. UPI and wallet refunds usually arrive first; card refunds can add a bank-settlement cycle.
- Are all Amazon India items returnable?
- No — returnability is per product. Check the product page: groceries, personalised goods and software downloads are non-returnable, and some categories are replacement-only.
- Does Amazon refund to the original payment method?
- Yes — refunds credit back to the payment method used at checkout by default; wallet and UPI credits arrive fastest.
Why refunds get delayed
- Item failed quality check at the merchant's warehouse.
- Original payment instrument was deactivated or expired.
- Bank holiday / weekend interrupts the settlement cycle.
- Refund routed to wallet by default — needs manual transfer to bank.
