Annex F – Settlement & Commission Statement

Commission Structure

Commission is charged item by item, not on the order total: the rate is set by the unit price of each item excluding GST, and applies to the value of that item line excluding GST.

TierUnit price of the item (excl. GST)Commission
Tier 1Up to ₹75017%
Tier 2Above ₹750, up to ₹2,00015%
Tier 3Above ₹2,00012%

For orders placed on or after 19 September 2026, a minimum commission of ₹20 applies to your items in each order (never more than their value excluding GST), and ₹80 is recovered for each shipment booked for your items. Both are shown on your settlement statement (Annex F).

Sample Settlement

One item with a unit price of ₹1,500 excluding GST, delivered in one shipment, on an order placed on or after 19 September 2026, with no refund:

ItemAmount
Taxable Value of Items Delivered (excl. GST)₹1,500
Commission (15%)− ₹225
Refunds₹0
Shipping Recovery (1 shipment)− ₹80
Net Payable₹1,195

Net payable = taxable value of your delivered items − refunds − commission − shipping recovery. Commission is charged on sales net of refunds, so a refunded sale earns no commission.

Settlement Report Fields

  • Gross Sales (incl. GST)
  • Taxable Value (excl. GST)
