Approved prepaid refunds are returned to your original payment method via Razorpay (UPI / card / net banking).
Bank or UPI posting usually completes within 5–10 working days after we initiate the refund. You may optionally request store wallet credit instead — wallet balances are non-transferable and cannot be withdrawn as cash.
COD orders: approved refunds are issued as SAFA Marketing wallet credit or bank transfer after verification (as confirmed in writing by support).
DOA / defective returns receive the approved refund amount:
Credited to your SAFA Marketing wallet
Example: If a ₹15,999 phone refund is approved, ₹15,999 is credited to your wallet. Shipping or COD fees are handled as stated at approval.
Store credit validity depends on the refund type.

Why wallet credit instead of cash?
Wallet credit keeps high-value mobile refunds secure, account-tied, and immediate — only usable within SAFA Marketing, never transferable or withdrawable.
