This policy explains returns/exchanges/refunds for purchases made on Hindicart.in. Since Hindicart is a multi-vendor marketplace, return eligibility may vary by Seller and product category. The final return/exchange window and conditions are shown on the Product Detail Page and your Order page.

Most eligible items can be returned/exchanged within [7/10/14] days from delivery (as shown on the product page).
Some items may be non-returnable (e.g., innerwear, cosmetics, personal care, perishables, customized items), as per hygiene/safety/regulatory reasons.

disable COD for accounts with high return/refusal rates,
limit return options,
require additional verification for high-value orders or suspicious activity, as permitted by law.
