CUSTOMER CARE POLICY

Refund & Returns Policy

Because Annavidhi products are food products with a relatively short shelf life, returns require special handling. Our aim is simple — genuine quality concerns should be reviewed fairly.

Last updated: 24/09/2026

OVERVIEW

Our Returns Policy at a Glance

Quality Issue?

Expired, spoiled, damaged-at-delivery or verified quality issues may be eligible for review.

Customer-Caused Damage?

Refunds Will Be Processed Within 7 Business Days

06 ORDER MANAGEMENT

Order Cancellation

If an order has not yet entered dispatch or fulfilment, customers may contact Annavidhi to request cancellation. Cancellation requests are subject to the order’s current processing status.

Once an order has been dispatched from our Nashik facility, it generally cannot be cancelled as a normal change-of-mind request.

IMPORTANT FOR FOOD QUALITY

Proper Storage Matters.

Annavidhi products generally have a shelf life of less than six months. Because our stone-milled flours and grain mixes contain no unnecessary chemical preservatives, proper handling after delivery is essential to preserve freshness and aroma. Always follow the storage instructions and best-before information printed on the individual pouch.

01. Keep from Moisture

Store in a cool, dry place away from damp counters, steam, and sink areas.

02. Keep from Heat

Protect from direct sunlight, gas burner heat, and warm appliance exhausts.

03. Clean & Dry Utensils

Always use dry, sterile spoons or measuring cups. Never introduce wet hands.

04. Reseal Properly

Firmly reseal the zip-lock or transfer to a dedicated clean, airtight jar.

05. Protect from Pests

Keep pantry shelves clean and insect-free to prevent pantry infestation.

06. Follow Pack Label

The printed batch label and best-before date remain the final legal authority.
