Refund & Cancellation

If a piece is not right, send it back within seven days. Refund timelines are stated explicitly below, as required under the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020.

01Our promise

You cannot try a garment on before you buy it online, so the return window exists to make that risk ours rather than yours. If a piece does not fit, does not suit you, or is simply not what you expected, you may return it within seven (7) days of delivery for a refund, provided it meets the conditions below.

Return pickup is free wherever our courier partners service your PIN code.

02Return window

7 days from delivery

Submit your return request by writing to info@akicloset.com with your order reference (it begins with AK) and a short description of the reason.

Requests made after the seventh day from delivery cannot be accepted, except where the item is damaged, defective or not what was ordered — see Damaged, defective or wrong item.

03Conditions for return

To be eligible, the item must be:

  • Unworn and unwashed, free of stains, marks, deodorant, perfume, pet hair and any other damage.
  • In its original packaging with all tags, labels and accessories still attached.
  • Returned within seven days of the delivery date.

We inspect every returned piece. Items that arrive worn, washed, altered or damaged will be sent back to you and no refund will be issued.

04What cannot be returned

  • Innerwear, hosiery and socks, on hygiene grounds.
  • Items clearly marked “Final Sale” on the product page at the time of purchase.
  • Pieces that have been customised, monogrammed or altered after delivery.
  • Items returned without their original tags or packaging.

05How to start a return

Email info@akicloset.com within seven days of delivery with:

  • Your order reference (format AKYYMMDDXXXXX)
  • The name and mobile number used at checkout
  • The item or items you wish to return, and the size
  • The reason for the return
  • One or two photographs of the item as received

We reply within 24 working hours with a return reference and the pickup arrangement. Where your PIN code is not serviceable for reverse pickup you may post the item back and we will reimburse the postage against a receipt.

06Refund timelines

Pickup — day 1 to 3

Our logistics partner collects the parcel from your address, or you post it back where reverse pickup is unavailable.

Inspection — day 4 to 6

The item reaches our facility and is inspected against the conditions in section 03.

Refund initiated — within 7 business days of inspection

Once approved we initiate the refund and email you the confirmation, including the reference number where the payment method provides one.

Refund credited — 7 to 10 business days after initiation

The amount reaches the original payment method. Bank and gateway processing times are outside our control but are typically within this window.

07Refund method

  • UPI payments: refunded to the UPI ID or bank account used for the payment. We share the RRN reference by email once the gateway processes it.
  • Cash on delivery: refunded by NEFT to a bank account held in the name of the person who placed the order. We will request those details when the return is approved.
  • Because shipping is free on every order and there is no cash-on-delivery fee, the refund is for the full amount paid for the returned items — there are no deductions.
  • Where a discount code was applied, the refund reflects the amount actually paid for the returned items after that discount.

08Cancelling an order

You may cancel an order at no cost at any time before it is handed to the courier. Write to us with your order reference as soon as possible and we will confirm the cancellation and refund any amount already paid, using the timelines in section 06.

Once a parcel has been dispatched it cannot be cancelled; please use the return process instead.

We may cancel an order ourselves where an item is out of stock, where the delivery address is not serviceable, where pricing or product information was published in error, or where we reasonably suspect fraudulent or abusive activity. In every such case any amount paid is refunded in full.

09Damaged, defective or wrong item

If your parcel arrives damaged, if the piece is defective, or if you received something other than what you ordered, tell us within 48 hours of delivery with photographs of the item and the outer packaging.

These cases are resolved at our cost: we arrange the pickup, and you choose a replacement or a full refund. The seven-day condition requirements in section 03 do not apply to genuinely damaged or defective goods.

10Exchanges

We do not run a separate exchange process, because holding stock for an exchange usually takes longer than a fresh order. If you need a different size or colour, return the original and place a new order — the refund follows the timelines in section 06, and the new order ships immediately.

11Contact

For anything relating to a refund, cancellation or return, write to info@akicloset.com quoting your order reference. If a complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction, our Grievance Cell sets out the formal escalation route.
