Flipkart starts penalising sellers over delays, cancellations

Flipkart has introduced a new three-tier penalty system for sellers from August 23, 2026. Sellers face ₹30 for missing the Dispatch-By Date, ₹60 for cancelling an order after receiving it and ₹90 when an order is both delayed and subsequently cancelled. The move comes ahead of the festive shopping season and is aimed at improving fulfilment reliability.
