3. What You Can Expect From Us

Because Vedik Tattva deals with consumable, organic food products, we are strict about safety and hygiene, but we also want to be fair and transparent.

We generally support returns / refunds in these situations:

  1. Product received in damaged or leaked condition
  2. Wrong product / variant sent (e.g., you ordered Acacia Honey, you received Forest Honey)

  4. Short-shipment or missing items in the parcel
  5. Limited “change of mind / not satisfied” returns for unopened products within our defined Return Window (see exact conditions below).

4. Return Window (How many days you have)

4.1 Standard Return Window: 7 calendar days
You may request a return within 7 days from the date of delivery as shown by the courier tracking, for eligible reasons described in this Policy.

4.2 For quality complaints, we strongly recommend writing to us within 48 hours of delivery with photos / videos so we can evaluate the issue before the product is consumed further.

4.3 Requests raised after the Return Window may be denied or only partially supported (for example, with store credit or case-by-case resolution).

5. Eligibility Criteria for Returns

To be eligible for a return / replacement / refund:

5.1 Condition of the Product

  • Product must be unused, unopened and in its original packaging for “change of mind / not satisfied” returns.
  • For damaged / wrong / quality-issue cases, we understand that outer packaging may be torn, but:
    • Inner seal should ideally be intact (except where damage itself is the issue), and
    • Product should be returned with all labels, batch numbers, MRPs and barcodes visible.

5.2 Proof of Purchase

  • Valid order number from Vedik Tattva’s Website.
  • Proof of purchase / invoice (digital or printed) may be required.

5.3 Proof of Issue

  • Clear photos / videos of:
    • Outer packaging (with shipping label visible),
    • Inner product, seal, and defect/damage (e.g., leakage, broken bottle, contaminants),

5.4 Return Authorization

  • You must first receive RMA approval from our support team via email or phone before sending any product back. Returns without prior approval may be rejected or refused upon receipt.

6. Non-Returnable / Non-Refundable Items

Due to the food-grade and perishable nature of our products, certain items cannot be returned in most cases, in line with industry best practices. Organic India+1

The following are generally non-returnable / non-refundable:

  1. Opened or partially used food products – including ghee, honey, oils, jaggery, etc., unless there is a clear quality defect proven at the time of opening.
  2. Products with tampered, broken or missing safety seals, where tampering is not attributable to transit damage.
  3. Products returned without original packaging or labels, making identification and traceability impossible.
  4. Products with substantial physical damage caused after delivery due to improper handling or storage by the customer (e.g., stored near heat source, insects due to improper sealing at home).
  5. Products purchased on final sale, clearance, or marked “Non-Returnable” on the product page.
  6. Free gifts, samples, promotional items, vouchers or coupons.
