Amazon introduces non-refundable ₹49 processing fee: Know all about it

Amazon has implemented a ₹49 processing fee for customers availing Instant Bank Discounts (IBD) of ₹500 or more, effectively reducing the net savings from these banking offers. The fee, which came into effect on Friday, applies to all users, including Prime members, and remains non-refundable even if an order is canceled or returned.

This policy aligns Amazon with its competitor Flipkart, which already levies a similar charge. According to Amazon, the fee is intended to cover costs related to the “aggregation, management, and processing” of bank discount offers on its platform.
