In a move to enhance customer convenience, leading online retailer Amazon has launched a new initiative.
Customers can now easily add funds to their Amazon Pay balance during cash-on-delivery orders using Rs 2,000 notes.
Deposit Limit Increased to Rs 50,000 Monthly
Amazon has announced that customers can deposit up to Rs 50,000 in cash every month, including Rs 2,000 notes.
Through Amazon Pay’s doorstep service, cash will be collected from customers and added to their Amazon Pay balance.
No Need to Worry if Stores Reject Rs 2,000 Notes
Amazon reassures customers that if a store refuses to accept a Rs 2,000 note as payment, there is no cause for panic.
Instead, customers can simply hand over the Rs 2,000 note to an Amazon delivery agent while placing a cash-on-delivery order.
Discontinuation of Rs 2,000 Notes in Circulation
It is important to note that as of May 19, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) issued an order stating that individuals can deposit or exchange their Rs 2,000 notes until September 30.
Benefits for Customers
Under Amazon Pay’s ‘Cash Load at Doorstep’ service, customers who have completed their KYC process can conveniently provide spare cash or change to the delivery agent during cash-on-delivery orders.
By completing a quick 5-10 minute video KYC on the Amazon app, customers can hand over currency notes to the delivery agent during their next cash-on-delivery order.
The updated balance will reflect in their Amazon Pay account immediately.
Seamless Payments with Amazon Pay
Customers can make payments by scanning QR codes in stores, sending money to phone numbers or individuals,
or paying on their favorite online apps, all while enjoying the convenience and security of Amazon Pay, available 24/7.
Amazon Pay’s doorstep top-up service is one of the unique offerings available to fully KYC-compliant customers in India.
