Return & Exchange Policy
Effective Date: 1 January 2025 | Last Updated: 11 February 2026
1. Overview
At Karané, we want you to love every purchase. If something doesn’t work out, this policy explains how you can return or exchange a product purchased from karane.in. By placing an order on the Website, you agree to the terms of this Return & Exchange Policy.
2. Exchange Policy
- Size exchanges may be requested within seven (7) calendar days from the date of delivery.
- The item must be unused, unwashed, and unworn, with all original tags, labels, and packaging intact.
- A non-refundable exchange handling fee of ₹99 applies per order (charged once, regardless of the number of items exchanged).
- Exchanges are subject to stock availability. If the requested size or variant is unavailable, a store credit of equivalent value will be issued.
- Only one exchange request is permitted per item. Second exchanges on the same item are not accepted.
3. Return Policy
- Returns are accepted within seven (7) calendar days from the date of delivery.
- All eligible returns are processed as store credits only — no cash refunds, bank transfers, or refunds to the original payment method will be issued.
- The item must be in its original, unused condition with all tags, labels, and packaging intact.
- A clear photograph of the item (showing condition and tags) must be uploaded when initiating the return request. All returns are subject to quality verification before approval.
- Original shipping charges and COD fees are non-refundable and will be deducted from the store credit amount.
- A non-refundable return handling fee of ₹99 applies per order (charged once, irrespective of the number of items returned).
- Partial returns are permitted — the ₹99 fee is charged once per order, not per item.
4. Reverse Pickup & Self-Shipping
- Reverse Pickup: Available in most serviceable PIN codes. Once your return is approved, a pickup will be scheduled at your address within 3–5 business days. No additional charge applies beyond the ₹99 handling fee.
- Self-Shipping: If reverse pickup is unavailable in your area, you may self-ship the item to our return address (provided upon approval). Shipping costs of up to ₹200 will be reimbursed as store credit upon submission of the courier receipt/proof of shipment.
- Items must be dispatched within three (3) business days of return approval. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of the return request.
5. Non-Returnable & Non-Exchangeable Items
The following items are not eligible for return or exchange under any circumstances:
- Items that have been used, washed, altered, or damaged by the customer.
- Intimate wear, innerwear, and swimwear (for hygiene reasons).
- Customised, personalised, or made-to-order products.
- Products from which original tags, labels, or packaging have been removed.
- Items purchased during clearance or final-sale promotions (unless explicitly stated otherwise).
- Gift cards and store credits.
6. Store Credit Refunds
- All eligible refunds — including those for COD orders and prepaid orders — are issued exclusively as store credits.
- Store credits are valid for six (6) months from the date of issuance. Expired credits are automatically forfeited and cannot be reinstated.
- Credits can be applied towards any future purchase on karane.in during checkout.
- Store credits are non-transferable and cannot be converted to cash or applied to another account.
- Your available store credit balance can be viewed in your account under My Account → Store Credits.
7. How to Initiate a Return or Exchange
- Log in to your account at karane.in/account and navigate to My Orders.
- Locate the order containing the item(s) you wish to return or exchange and click “Return / Exchange”.
- Select the reason for return, specify whether you want an exchange or store credit, and upload clear photographs of the item.
- Our team will review your request and respond via email within 24–48 hours.
- Upon approval, a reverse pickup will be scheduled or self-shipping instructions will be provided.
- Store credit will be issued within 3–5 business days after we receive and inspect the returned item.
8. Damaged, Defective, or Wrong Items
If you receive a damaged, defective, or incorrect product, please initiate a return through your account within 48 hours of delivery with photographs clearly showing the issue (damage, defect, or wrong item received). In such cases:
- The ₹99 handling fee will be waived.
- Reverse pickup will be arranged at no additional cost.
- You will receive a full store credit or a replacement (subject to availability), at your choice.
- If neither replacement nor store credit is acceptable, we will work with you on a case-by-case basis to reach a fair resolution.
9. Cancellations
Orders may be cancelled before they are shipped. Once an order has been dispatched, cancellation is not possible — you will need to initiate a return after delivery. To request cancellation, contact us at support@karane.in with your order number.
10. Dispute Resolution
If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of a return or exchange request, please escalate the matter by writing to support@karane.in. We will review your case and respond within seven (7) business days with a resolution.
