On a typical Amazon.in order Amazon charges a category referral fee, a closing fee, and a weight-handling fee when Amazon ships the order. Fulfilment Centre orders can also have pick-and-pack and storage. GST at 18% is added on those service fees. Advertising, removal, cancellation and programme fees apply only in the situations described in each entry.
Referral fees follow the category schedule for every Amazon.in fulfilment method. Closing fees and weight-handling fees do not. Easy Ship, Fulfilment Centre, Seller Flex and Self Ship each have their own closing-fee card. Easy Ship standard-size shipping is a flat STEP rate. Fulfilment Centre standard-size shipping uses Regional and National rates, and pick-and-pack is charged only for Fulfilment Centre orders.
It is a fixed fee on each sale, based on the item price and the fulfilment channel. The current cards are effective 07-September-2026. Easy Ship runs from ₹2 to ₹79. Seller Flex runs from ₹7 to ₹69. Self Ship runs from ₹20 to ₹101. Fulfilment Centre fees depend on the fee group at lower prices, are ₹30 from ₹501 to ₹1,000, and are ₹55 or ₹75 above ₹1,000. These amounts exclude 18% GST.
From 15-November-2025 Amazon does not reimburse the closing fee on a customer return, while the referral fee is reimbursed. Undelivered and rejected orders still have the closing fee reimbursed. A separate refund-administration fee is mentioned in that announcement, including a decrease for Apparel and Shoes, but the current rupee schedule is not on the public fee page.
The current fee page charges ₹50 per cubic foot per month for fulfilment-centre storage. Removal is ₹10 per standard-size unit by standard shipping, ₹30 if expedited, and ₹100 per Heavy & Bulky unit. Aged-inventory and disposal rates are not published on that page. Amounts exclude 18% GST.
From 17-August-2026, an eligible Easy Ship or Self Ship cancellation is 10% of order value below ₹10,000, 8% from ₹10,001 to ₹50,000, 5% from ₹50,001 to ₹1,00,000, and 2% above ₹1,00,000, plus 18% GST on the fee. It applies to a seller cancellation other than a buyer request, and when the shipment is not confirmed within 24 hours of the estimated ship date. The public announcement includes ₹50,000 in the 8% band and ₹1,00,000 in the 5% band. It does not assign exactly ₹10,000.
Yes. Amazon’s fee page says 18% GST applies to the fees shown there, and the cancellation announcement says 18% GST applies on the cancellation fee. The rate cards are excluding GST. GST on a fee is separate from the fee, and separate from GST on the product.
No. GST TCS under section 52 is collected at 0.25% CGST plus 0.25% SGST, or 0.5% IGST, on the net taxable value, and it is a GST credit. E-commerce TDS under section 194-O is 0.1% in the Income Tax Department table fetched on 13-October-2026, with a ₹5 lakh threshold for a resident individual or HUF. Both are recoverable tax credits, not Amazon commissions.
No. Sponsored Products are optional and are charged per click at the seller’s bid. Amazon does not publish a universal India cost-per-click. Sponsored Brands is also optional. Amazon Stores are free to use. A seller-funded discount is not an Amazon fee.
