Refunds are processed only after the cancellation is approved or the returned item is received and inspected, unless applicable law requires otherwise. Approval of a return request does not guarantee a refund until inspection is complete.
Eligible refunds may be full or partial depending on the approved quantity, product condition, order status, payment status, promotional discount, shipping charge, duty, tax, handling cost, payment-provider fee, or other non-refundable amount shown or permitted at the time of purchase.
Refunds are normally issued to the original payment method used for the order. Processing time depends on Eco Caret review, the payment gateway, card network, bank, wallet, or other payment provider. Once we initiate a refund, the final credit timeline is controlled by the payment provider or bank.
If payment has failed, expired, or was never captured, no refund may be required. If an order has been partially paid, partially cancelled, partially returned, or partially approved after inspection, the refund will be calculated only for the eligible approved amount.
Example: If an order total is ₹50,000 and the full order is cancelled before shipment, the eligible refund may be ₹50,000. If the same order is cancelled after shipment, a 10% deduction may apply, so ₹5,000 may be deducted and the eligible refund may be ₹45,000. If only one approved item worth ₹20,000 is returned from that order, the refund may be ₹20,000 and the remaining order value will be ₹30,000, subject to inspection, payment status, and any non-refundable charges.
Eco Caret may hold, decline, or manually review a refund if fraud, abuse, chargeback, duplicate request, payment dispute, return mismatch, or policy violation is suspected.
