    The Flipkart Affiliate Program is not a SCAM and I can personally vouch for it...I've already received 2 payments from them and a 3rd one is on its way....In total I've already been paid Rs 10000 through it!

    Sorry to hear about your issues. Let me narrate my experience with Flipkart affiliate program. I've been a FLipkart.com affiliate for 1.5 years now and regularly make upward of 15K a month consistently. Although they do pay, though not on time, they deduct 10% TDS from the payments. However they still haven't issued me a TDS certificate for filing my returns in spite of several promises on their part. Now I've contacted Flipkart founder Binny Bansal directly highlighting the issue.

    I've also started a Google Group solely for Active Flipkart affiliates to discuss strategies and issues affecting Flipkart affiliates. All those who promote Flipkart affiliates should join this group for their benefit.

    When you get paid by EFT they deduct 10% TDS, which is just too much after you earn small amount of Rs. 2500/-

    I'll suggest you choose gift certificate as the payment method. You can use those certificates to shop on Flipkart.

    Hi Guys,

    It's me again. As you can see, I had given a positive review of Flipkart's affiliate program way back in March but since then, it's not been a pleasant experience.

    I've written a detailed post (with screenshots as proof) why I feel Flipkart is cheating its affiliates. You can follow the link or do a search on Google for (Online Passive Income - Flipkart Affiliate Program Sucks)

    P.S - I don't think links are allowed so you'll have to manually search on Google

    Regards,
    Armaan

    I don't think its a scam......but they are not the best either......they deduct 10% as TDS....that's awful......They paid after two months (provided u've completed minimum earning criteria)....that's another glitch......

    Deducting the TDS is not the issue here, after all you do get a TDS certificate at the end of each quarter, it's their tracking and commission throttling which is cause for concern. It is a routine feature now when sales are not credited to earnings report even though the traffic report shows orders consistently. I feel they are trying to get maximum traffic from their affiliates without wanting to pay their affiliates their due share. After all, aren't all Indian businesses cheats? How can we expect anything different from Flipkart?

    It seems sales are not getting recorded in my account. Today I placed a COD and then cancelled it. Even after 3 hours no indication if any sale has occurred. I've sent more than 150 clicks in the last 40 days but Flipkart is not showing the sales. It seems looks to be a blackhole.

    Seems like a scam like most of other networks in India. Only Google Adsense is reliable.

    After a couple of hours Flipkart has indeed reflected those sales. I even have got replies from Flipkart for my two emails.

    Except for DGM/Tyroo/Flipkart all other Indian affiliates programs are scams. I also want to float one affiliate program and dupe all small publishers who can't get Adsense.

    I still say not all Indian programs are scams..
    may be you are saying so because of hear say or your personal bad experiance
    but I am working with Indian people and they are very reliable.

    Well, it must be a technical error at their end. I have been using it for last 1 year and have received payments multiple times without any hassle.
