First order on BharatSeal?
Use BharatSeal Trade Assurance — your payment stays in escrow until you confirm delivery. If anything's wrong, we'll refund you in full.
How Trade Assurance protects you →Your payment is held in escrow and released to the supplier only after you confirm delivery. If anything goes wrong, we arbitrate — and you get your money back.
Your full payment is held securely by BharatSeal via Razorpay. The supplier never touches it until you confirm.
The supplier ships the goods and uploads tracking. You get notified at every step.
Once you receive and verify the goods match your order, you release the funds with one click.
Payment is released to the supplier within 24 hours. Fast, transparent, zero middlemen.
| Scenario | Without Trade Assurance | With Trade Assurance |
|---|---|---|
| Payment safety | Wire upfront — no recourse if goods don't arrive | Razorpay escrow — funds only released after you confirm |
| Delivery guarantee | Seller's word only | BharatSeal tracks shipment status end-to-end |
| Quality mismatch | Bear the loss or chase the supplier yourself | Dispute raised → BharatSeal arbitrates → refund issued |
| Non-delivery | No legal recourse without expensive litigation | Full refund automatically triggered within 15 days |
| Seller accountability | Unverified, anonymous seller | GSTn + MCA + EPFO verified entity — skin in the game |
| Dispute resolution | Consumer forum or civil court (months) | BharatSeal arbitration in 7 days — free of charge |
| Auto-release | N/A | Funds auto-release 15 days after delivery if no dispute |
* Auto-release timer starts when seller marks order delivered. Buyers can release early at any time.
Trade Assurance is included at no cost for all BharatSeal-verified suppliers.
1.5% of the transaction amount, minimum ₹50 per order.
Example: ₹50,000 order → ₹750 escrow fee
Dispute resolution and BharatSeal arbitration is included at no extra charge.
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.
Every Trade Assurance order is backed by BharatSeal arbitration and Razorpay-secured escrow.
