pages/terms

Flipkart renamed its delivery contractor from 'Transporter' to 'Delivery Service Provider,' added a new GST charge on delivery fees, softened the guarantee that delivery charges are refunded in full, made providing a Consignment Note optional, added a new 'Handling Fee' for select items, and deleted the entire standalone section covering insurance products sold on the platform (which had spelled out free-look periods, refund timelines, grievance handling times, and dispute rules for insurance purchases).

Delivery charge refunds on returns may now be only partialBefore, if you returned something, you were told your delivery fee would be refunded. Now…

Before, if you returned something, you were told your delivery fee would be refunded. Now the terms say that refund could be full or partial depending on conditions that aren't spelled out, so you might get back less money than before.

“the Delivery Charges (if already collected) will be refunded, fully or partially (as per terms and conditions) within the same timelines”

What you can do — Check the specific return/cancellation policy for your order to see how much of the delivery charge you'll actually get back before assuming a full refund.

Starting November 1, 2026, government sales tax (GST) will be added on top of your delivery charge, slightly raising the total cost of delivery. This follows a change in tax law, not a Flipkart policy choice, but it still increases what you pay.

“With effect from 1 November 2026, GST is applicable on delivery services provided in relation to goods supplied through an electronic commerce operator. Accordingly, applicable GST will be charged on the Delivery Charges”

What you can do — Check your order's fee breakdown for the added GST line on delivery charges starting November 2026.

Flipkart can now charge a separate 'Handling Fee' on certain items, which is a new cost that wasn't listed before. It is refundable if you cancel or return the order, but you'll pay it upfront.

“Handling Fee (for select items only).”

What you can do — Watch for a 'Handling Fee' line item at checkout on select items; it's refundable if you cancel or return the order.

BILLING & RENEWAL
Consignment Note no longer guaranteed, and its added terms are no longer disclosedThe delivery company used to always have to give you a document (Consignment Note) laying…

The delivery company used to always have to give you a document (Consignment Note) laying out extra shipping terms that applied to your order. Now that document is only provided 'wherever applicable,' and the terms no longer tell you it may contain additional conditions governing your delivery, making it harder to know what rules apply to your shipment.

“Wherever applicable, the Delivery Service Provider shall issue a Consignment Note.”

What you can do — If you want to see the delivery provider's specific shipping terms, ask for the Consignment Note on your order page, since it may no longer be provided automatically.

OTHER
All documented insurance consumer protections removed from the TermsFlipkart deleted an entire section that spelled out your rights when buying insurance…

Flipkart deleted an entire section that spelled out your rights when buying insurance through the platform — including a 30-day free-look cancellation window, refund and claim-processing timelines, a 14-day grievance resolution commitment, disclosure obligations, liability caps, and which court/arbitration process applied to insurance disputes. With this section gone, these rights and timelines are no longer documented anywhere in the Terms, leaving it unclear what protections currently apply if you buy or hold an insurance policy through Flipkart.

“Specific Terms for Insurance Services Offered on the Platform”

What you can do — If you've bought or plan to buy insurance through Flipkart, contact Flipkart (InsuranceGrievance.Officer@flipkart.com) or the insurer directly to confirm your free-look period, refund timeline, and grievance/dispute process, since these are no longer spelled out in the Terms.
