01
Orders and availability
Order confirmation, stock, changes and cancellations.
You may browse Bandara’s products without signing in. An account may be required to complete an order and use account features such as saved addresses, order history, Bandara Credit and approved B2B terms.
A prepaid B2C order is confirmed only after payment verification and Bandara’s order confirmation. Where Pay Later is enabled for that customer, Bandara may instead confirm the order as unpaid under the displayed payment terms. A payment receipt alone is not an order confirmation; if the order requires review, do not pay again.
A B2B order may be confirmed after Bandara verifies stock, pricing, minimum order quantity, delivery feasibility, account status and the payment requirements shown for that order or quotation. B2B Pay Later is available where Bandara has enabled it for that customer.
No. Adding a product to the cart does not by itself guarantee availability. Stock is checked again during checkout and order confirmation.
Bandara will contact you where reasonably possible. We may offer a suitable alternative, arrange partial fulfilment with your approval, defer the affected item, or cancel it and refund the amount collected for that item.
No. Bandara will not make a material substitution without your consent. Where an alternative is available, we will explain the relevant difference in product, brand, weight, price, ingredients or other important characteristics before you accept it.
We will not knowingly substitute a product in a way that changes an allergen, dietary classification, animal species or another material characteristic without explicit approval.
Contact Bandara Customer Support as soon as possible. A change may be possible before dispatch, depending on stock, preparation status, payment and delivery arrangements.
B2B modifications are considered case by case and may result in revised quantities, prices, taxes, delivery timing or invoice details.
You may cancel an order before it has been dispatched or marked out for delivery. Bandara’s ordinary products are generally maintained in pre-cut or pre-packed saleable form, so cancellation may still be possible after picking or packing has begun.
Orders normally cannot be cancelled after dispatch.
Bandara may cancel all or part of an order where stock is unavailable, the address is not serviceable, payment or credit verification fails, suspected fraud or misuse is identified, fulfilment would be unsafe, or a clear technical or pricing error has occurred. Any amount collected for a cancelled item or order will be refunded.
02
Delivery
Pune delivery, B2B freight, charges and handover.
Bandara provides local B2C and B2B delivery within Pune, subject to address serviceability.
Intercity delivery may be arranged for B2B orders where a suitable courier, refrigerated carrier or cold-chain service is available. Any minimum shipment weight and account-specific conditions are determined by the current delivery settings and shown with the quotation.
The available delivery dates, cut-off times and expected delivery windows are determined by Bandara’s current delivery settings, address serviceability, stock and capacity. Review the timing shown for your order before confirmation.
An order placed after the applicable cut-off is offered the next available delivery window. Operating days, closures and service availability are managed by Bandara; there is no fixed daily cut-off or seven-day delivery promise on this page.
Checkout shows the delivery windows available for the selected location. Customer selection is offered only where enabled by Bandara. The confirmed schedule or any later update is shown with the order.
B2C delivery charges are calculated from the confirmed delivery location using Bandara’s current service areas, distance bands, fees and applicable eligibility settings. The charge, any tax and any other applicable fee are shown before you confirm the order.
Local B2B delivery uses the delivery settings and terms applicable to that business account. Any free-delivery allowance, distance bands, minimums and charges are admin-controlled, not a fixed three-kilometre allowance or fixed per-kilometre rate. The applicable charge and GST are shown separately before confirmation.
Intercity B2B delivery is quoted separately for each case. The quotation may take into account destination, shipment weight, packaging, refrigeration or cold-chain requirements, carrier charges, insurance, handling and delivery time.
An intercity order is not treated as finally confirmed until the customer accepts the applicable quotation and completes any payment or deposit required by Bandara.
Cold-chain, packaging or handling charges may apply where shown during checkout or disclosed before confirmation. These charges depend on the products, destination and fulfilment requirements of the order.
Please ensure that you or an authorised recipient is available at the delivery address. At your confirmed request, Bandara may hand the order to building security, reception, an employee, a neighbour or another authorised person. Delivery is treated as completed when the order is handed to that person.
If no authorised recipient is available, Bandara may return the order to its facility. Redelivery depends on product condition, cold-chain integrity, remaining shelf life and delivery capacity, and an additional charge may apply. A perishable order may not qualify for a refund where safe redelivery is no longer possible because the customer or authorised recipient was unavailable.
Yes, but only when you have authorised it. Please ensure that the recipient can place chilled or frozen products into appropriate storage immediately.
Customers are responsible for providing a complete address and a reachable phone number. If Bandara identifies an issue before dispatch, we may place the order on hold and contact you by the available details.
If no reply is received within 48 hours, Bandara may cancel the order and refund the amount collected. If the problem is discovered after dispatch, the order may be treated as an unsuccessful delivery and redelivery may be subject to product safety and additional charges.
Delivery may be affected by weather, flooding, traffic restrictions, vehicle problems, public disruption, government action, power failure, transport interruption or another event beyond Bandara’s reasonable control.
Bandara will provide an updated estimate where reasonably possible. If the order can no longer be delivered safely or the required cold chain cannot be maintained, Bandara may cancel the affected part and refund the amount collected for it.
03
Cancellations, replacements and refunds
Perishable-product claims, evidence and refund timing.
No. Frozen, chilled and other perishable food products cannot be returned or exchanged merely because you changed your mind, ordered the wrong quantity, no longer require the item or do not personally prefer its taste, texture, appearance or cooking characteristics.
Contact Bandara Customer Support within one hour of delivery and provide the order number and clear photographs of the product and label. Once verified, Bandara will arrange an appropriate replacement or refund in consultation with you.
Report the missing item within one hour of delivery. Bandara will verify the order and delivery record and, where the claim is confirmed, arrange prompt replacement or refund of the missing item.
Do not consume the product if its safety or integrity may have been affected. Keep the product, packaging and label under the stated storage conditions and contact Bandara within one hour with photographs or video showing the issue.
Do not consume or refreeze it. Place it in suitable cold storage if it is safe to do so, retain the packaging and contact Bandara within one hour. Bandara will review the delivery conditions and available evidence and arrange an appropriate resolution where the claim is verified.
Minor surface softening, frost loss or a change in visible ice crystals does not by itself determine that a product is unsafe or defective. If you are concerned about its condition, do not consume it and contact Bandara within one hour so the circumstances can be reviewed.
Visible delivery issues — such as a missing item, incorrect item, damaged packaging, broken seal, leakage or a fully thawed product — should be reported within one hour of delivery.
If a quality concern was not reasonably visible at handover, contact Bandara as soon as it is discovered. Keep the product, packaging and label available for review.
Please provide the order number and clear photographs of the product, outer packaging, seal, product label, batch or lot information, use-by or expiry information and the issue complained of. Bandara may request a short video or other reasonable evidence where necessary.
Yes. Keep the product and its original packaging under the stated storage conditions until Bandara confirms that they may be discarded or arranges collection. A claim may be difficult to verify if the product or label has been discarded.
Bandara may arrange collection where inspection or safe disposal is required. We will advise you whether collection is necessary after reviewing the initial information.
Bandara may offer a replacement, refund or Bandara Credit in consultation with you. Where a suitable replacement is unavailable or cannot be delivered safely within a reasonable period, a refund will normally be offered. Bandara Credit will be used in place of a monetary refund only with your agreement.
Bandara normally initiates an approved refund within 48 hours. The time required for the amount to appear in your account may depend on the bank, card network, UPI service or payment provider.
Where the entire order is cancelled or rejected because of an issue attributable to Bandara, the related delivery, cold-chain and handling charges will also be refunded.
Where only one item in an otherwise correctly delivered order is affected, Bandara will refund or replace the affected item and any charge directly attributable to it. General order-level charges are not automatically refundable in every partial claim.
Opening a product solely to inspect or prepare it does not automatically invalidate a genuine quality complaint. However, Bandara may be unable to verify a claim where the product has been substantially consumed, discarded, altered, improperly stored or retained without its original packaging and label.
They are not returnable because of a change of mind. This does not prevent a claim where Bandara supplied the wrong product or a verified delivery, packaging, safety or material quality issue exists.
A B2B return requires Bandara’s prior approval. Approval may be considered for an incorrect product, verified damage, a quality or safety issue, or another commercial exception agreed by Bandara. Approved B2B returns may be resolved through replacement, credit note, account adjustment or refund.

Products, storage and food handling
Storage temperatures, thawing, weights and allergens.
Product photographs are representative. Natural products may differ in colour, size, shape, cut, marbling, finish or appearance. These variations do not necessarily indicate a difference in quality.
Fixed-weight packs are supplied at the net quantity declared on the pack. Where a product is sold as an individually selected or recorded catch-weight item, the applicable weight and price are shown on the product, package, order record or invoice.
Minor surface moisture, glaze or ice loss may occur during handling. Any material discrepancy will be reviewed against the product label, invoiced quantity and Bandara’s dispatch records.
Store frozen products at the temperature stated on the product page and physical label, ordinarily at or below −18°C. Transfer products to appropriate frozen storage promptly after delivery.
Store chilled products at the temperature stated on the product page and physical label, ordinarily between 2°C and 4°C. Do not leave chilled products at room temperature longer than necessary for handling or preparation.
Always follow the product-specific instructions on the physical label and Bandara product page. Keep the product sealed during thawing unless the instructions say otherwise. Detailed guidance may differ between meat, seafood, cheese, bakery and ready-to-cook items.
Do not use standing water or a microwave unless the manufacturer’s instructions specifically permit that method.
Do not refreeze a product after it has completely thawed unless the manufacturer’s label expressly permits it. Refreezing can affect safety, texture and quality.
Ingredients and allergen information are displayed where available from the manufacturer, importer, supplier or packer and should also appear on the applicable physical label.
Customers with an allergy, intolerance or special dietary requirement should review the delivered label before consumption and contact Bandara where clarification is required.
Bandara handles a range of products that may include seafood, crustaceans, fish, milk, eggs, cereals containing gluten, soy, nuts and other allergens. A “may contain” statement will be displayed where the relevant supplier, manufacturer, packer or Bandara has identified a cross-contact risk.
Unless a product is specifically represented as prepared in a dedicated allergen-controlled environment, Bandara cannot guarantee the complete absence of cross-contact.
Follow the physical label for batch-specific details, ingredients, allergens, storage conditions, preparation instructions, country of origin, manufacturer or importer information and use-by or expiry dates.
Do not consume the product where a material difference creates uncertainty about safety, allergens or suitability. Contact Bandara for clarification.
05
Payments and pricing
Razorpay, GST, failed payments and pricing corrections.
B2C online payments may be made using the methods offered at checkout, including eligible cards, UPI, net banking and supported wallets. Pay Later is shown only when Bandara has enabled it for that customer. It confirms an unpaid order under the displayed terms and does not open the prepaid payment gateway.
Approved B2B customers may also use NEFT, RTGS, IMPS or cheque where offered for their invoice, subject to verification or realisation. B2B Pay Later is available where Bandara has enabled it for that customer. Cash on Delivery is not available.
Yes. Razorpay is used to process eligible online payments. The payment methods actually available may vary by customer, order and payment provider availability.
No. Cash on Delivery is not currently available for B2C or B2B orders.
Do not immediately make a duplicate payment. Contact Bandara Customer Support with the order or payment reference.
If Bandara or the payment provider confirms receipt, Bandara will reconcile the payment with the intended order or initiate a refund. If the amount was not received by Bandara, the reversal is handled by the bank or payment provider according to its processing timeline.
Contact Customer Support with the payment reference. Bandara will verify the transaction and either create or reconcile the intended order where fulfilment is possible, or initiate a refund.
Yes. B2C selling prices include applicable GST. Retail special prices and eligible rewards are reflected in the checkout quote.
Yes. B2B prices exclude GST, which is shown separately at checkout and on the invoice. Applicable customer-specific pricing takes precedence over standard B2B pricing. Retail special prices and rewards do not apply.
Bandara takes reasonable care to display accurate prices, discounts and taxes. If Bandara ordinarily undercharges a customer because of its own error and has accepted the order, Bandara will generally honour the confirmed price.
If a customer is overcharged, the excess amount will be refunded and any related Bandara Credit adjustment will be made.
Bandara may correct or cancel an order before dispatch where a price resulted from a clear technical error, an unauthorised or incompatible discount, manipulation or an error that a reasonable customer would recognise as unintended. Any amount collected for a cancelled order will be refunded.
Bandara normally initiates an approved refund within 48 hours. Your bank, card issuer, UPI service or payment provider may require additional processing time before the refund appears in your account.
06
B2B orders
MOQ, payment requirements and intercity supply.
Businesses such as hotels, restaurants, caterers, retailers, resellers, institutions and other approved commercial customers may apply for B2B access. Bandara may review and approve the account before B2B pricing or commercial terms become available.
Yes. B2B prices, minimum order quantities and product availability may differ from B2C terms and are assigned through Bandara’s administration system.
They may. The applicable minimum order quantity is shown for the product or provided as part of the customer’s commercial terms.
Yes. Pay Later is available to authorised B2C and B2B customers when Bandara enables it for that customer. Final shipping charges must be accepted before confirming an unpaid order. B2B customers should follow the payment requirements shown for their order or quotation.
Yes, where permitted for the relevant account, order or invoice. The required advance amount, remaining balance and due date are shown on the invoice, payment record or separately agreed commercial terms.
A partial payment does not discharge the full invoice. Bandara may hold procurement, preparation, dispatch or further orders until the required amount has been received.
Bandara may accept NEFT, RTGS, IMPS and cheque, subject to verification or realisation. Cash is not accepted. Available payment methods and instructions are displayed or communicated for the relevant invoice.
Bandara may place pending or new orders on hold or require advance payment until the outstanding invoice is settled. Interest or another late-payment charge will apply only where it was expressly agreed as part of the relevant commercial terms.
Local B2B delivery is calculated using the current admin-controlled delivery settings and any applicable account-specific terms. Review the delivery charge and GST shown separately at checkout or in the quotation before accepting the order.
Yes, where a suitable transport or cold-chain service is available. Intercity arrangements are quoted separately for each order. Any minimum shipment, delivery charge and schedule come from the current delivery settings and the quotation you review before confirming.
A confirmed B2B order may be changed or cancelled before dispatch only with Bandara’s approval. The change may affect product availability, quantity, price, tax, delivery timing or invoice details. Once dispatched, cancellation is not normally permitted.
No. Bandara Credit is a B2C-only programme.
07
Bandara Credit
Eligibility, earning, tiers, redemption and reversals.
Bandara Credit is the rewards balance for eligible B2C customers only. You may enter a partial redemption amount, use all eligible available credit, or remove it before confirmation. The backend determines the available balance, redemption cap and eligible order amount; pending credits are not available to spend.
Eligible registered B2C customers may earn and redeem Bandara Credit. B2B accounts and B2B purchases are excluded.
Earning rates, eligible spend, exclusions, programme limits and promotional eligibility are controlled by the current Bandara rewards settings. Your account and checkout show the benefits that apply to you; no fixed earning rate is promised by this page.
A qualifying first order and a qualifying repeat purchase may receive additional promotional credit where the applicable programme conditions are met.
The ₹100 welcome credit remains pending until the first eligible order has been paid and delivered and the backend releases the credit. Pending credit cannot be spent, including on a confirmed-but-unpaid Pay Later order. Other credits are released only when their applicable programme conditions are met.
Tier thresholds, the assessment period and tier benefits are controlled by Bandara’s current rewards settings:
- Silver: eligibility and benefits shown in your account.
- Gold: eligibility and benefits shown in your account.
- Platinum: eligibility and benefits shown in your account.
The customer account will show the current tier and any applicable benefits.
Eligible customers who have provided their date of birth may receive a birthday credit according to their current tier and the programme rules active at that time.
No. Bandara Credit is not legal tender and cannot be withdrawn or exchanged for cash.
No. Bandara Credit is personal to the eligible customer account and cannot be sold or transferred.
Credit earned from the cancelled or refunded purchase may be reversed. Credit redeemed against that order is restored in proportion to the amount actually refunded, subject to any fraud, misuse or valid account adjustment.
Sometimes. Whether promotions, coupons and Bandara Credit can be combined depends on the rules attached to the relevant offer and will be shown during checkout.
Yes. Bandara may amend, suspend or withdraw Bandara Credit, an offer or a programme benefit. Material changes will be reflected in the current programme terms and, where appropriate, communicated through the website or customer account.

Accounts, privacy and support
Personal information, support and grievance escalation.
Depending on how you use the website, Bandara may collect your name, email address, phone number, date of birth, billing and delivery addresses, order and invoice information, payment status or references, account activity and customer-support communications.
B2B accounts may also contain business details and commercial terms associated with the account.
Date of birth is optional for B2C registration. If you choose to provide it, it may be used for eligible birthday-related Bandara Credit or account benefits under the active programme rules. The Privacy Policy explains how it is used and retained.
Bandara may convert the delivery address you enter into geographic coordinates or distance information to verify serviceability, calculate delivery charges and assist delivery. This is different from continuously tracking your device location.
Assigned delivery personnel may receive the information reasonably necessary to complete the delivery, including the recipient’s name, address, phone number and relevant delivery instructions.
Bandara does not currently send general marketing messages through email, SMS or WhatsApp. Service-related communications concerning account verification, payment, orders, delivery, refunds, support and security may still be sent where necessary.
Bandara currently uses service providers that may include Razorpay for eligible online payments, Google services for maps or distance, translation and reCAPTCHA, and IBM for hosting or backup. The complete Privacy Policy will explain the purpose of these services and the information involved.
Submit a support ticket through your Bandara account or contact Customer Support. Some order, invoice, tax, fraud-prevention or legal records may need to be retained even after an account-deletion request.
