Never pay outside BharatSeal

If a supplier asks you to pay via bank transfer, UPI, or cash outside of BharatSeal, you immediately lose all Trade Assurance protections — escrow, dispute resolution, and refund rights.

BharatSeal only protects transactions that go through our platform. Off-platform payment requests are a common fraud signal — report them immediately.
