India’s leading e-tailer has resumed its cash on delivery (COD) service for any amount to customers after a brief suspension for a week.

Immediately after the government’s demonetization move, Flipkart -- along with other leading e-tailers -- had decided to temporarily suspend its COD services.

“Flipkart took the initiative to provide every possible facility for a smooth and seamless order processing. We significantly ramped up our card-on-delivery facility and covered the majority of PIN codes, also reaching remote towns,” the company said in a statement.

The company, however, has also clarified that the company will not accept the demonetized notes. Flipkart is also encouraging customers to go digital by providing alternative options.

Talking about the alternative options of payment Flipkart, in a release it said, “You are encouraged to opt for card-on-delivery if this payment option is available at your location. For your future orders, we urge you to opt for alternative payment modes such as internet banking, credit and debit cards, gift cards, and PhonePe, our easy and convenient UPI and wallet payments solution.”
