Note- Since the Cash-on-Delivery option is not available for these sales we would be using Gift Cards as a mode of payment. Cash on Delivery has been removed to reduce reselling of the smartphone in the local markets. Users can also opt for other payment methods like Internet banking or credit/ debit card. In this article we used the Gift card method, which we tried and tested several times during the flash sales. So, without further ado, let's begin.

Since you can only buy a Gift Card of ₹10,000 maximum. You will need to buy another 2 Gift cards worth ₹2,000 each.
