Cash on Delivery option temporary disabled on Amazon, Flipkart

E-commerce companies Flipkart and Amazon India have temporarily disabled the Cash on Delivery option after the government announced banned circulation of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes from Tuesday midnight.

Flipkart shows a message – “This payment option is not available for this order. Please try some other payment mode.” There is also a banner on the homepage with the caption – “Paying in cash? We are unable to accept Rs 500 or Rs 1,000 notes, further to the government order.”

Snapdeal is still continuing with the CoD payment option but it will not accept Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. There’s a notifications which reads – “Dear customer, in light of the recent govt [sic] mandate – please note that Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes will not be accepted for your CoD orders.”

Most other online services like UrbanClap and Yumist are encouraging customers to use the online payment option or the wallet service.
