Myntra deducts a commission on each sale, plus fixed or collection-type fees, shipping or logistics charges, return-related charges and tax on those fees, with GST TCS and TDS handled separately. The exact percentages depend on your category, price band, commercial model and signed agreement, so confirm them in your seller agreement, rate card and settlement report rather than relying on blog figures.
What makes up the Myntra fee structure
Sellers often say 'Myntra takes X%', but the payout gap is rarely one number. Depending on your commercial model, the deductions between customer price and your bank credit usually fall into a few buckets. Names and applicability differ by agreement, so treat this as a checklist, not a rate card.
| Component | What it generally covers | Where to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | Marketplace charge on the sale, often linked to category, brand or price band | Seller agreement, commercial annexure |
| Fixed or collection fee | Per-order or payment-related charges, if applicable to you | Rate card, settlement report |
| Shipping or logistics fee | Forward delivery charges, often linked to weight or slab | Rate card, order-level report |
| Return and RTO charges | Reverse shipping, return handling, commission treatment on returns | Returns policy in your agreement |
| Tax on fees | GST charged on marketplace services | Fee invoices from the marketplace |
| TCS and TDS | Statutory deductions made at source | Settlement report, tax statements, your tax adviser |
Where to find your actual rates
Do not copy percentages from forums or old blog posts. Marketplace terms change, and two sellers in the same category can be on different terms. Use these sources in order:
- Signed seller agreement and annexures: the legally binding source for commission, fees and return treatment.
- Current rate card or commercial communication: any revised terms shared by your Myntra account manager or on the seller portal.
- Settlement and order-level reports: what was actually charged, line by line.
- Fee and tax invoices: needed for GST input credit and for matching tax on fees.
If the rate card and the agreement disagree, raise it in writing before you reconcile anything else. Confirm the latest terms with Myntra directly.
On what value is commission calculated
This is the most common source of confusion. Before you check any deduction, find out in your agreement:
- Whether commission applies to the MRP, the selling price, or the value after discounts.
- Whether the base is inclusive or exclusive of GST.
- Who funds which discount: you, Myntra, or both, and how that changes the base.
- Whether shipping or other charges collected from the customer enter the base.
Two sellers can both pay the same percentage and still see different rupee deductions because the base differs. Write down the base for each commercial model or brand you operate and use it as your checking rule.
Tax lines that sit next to the fees
GST on marketplace fees, TCS under GST and TDS are separate from commission, but they all reduce the cash you receive. They matter for two reasons: your payout will not match 'sale minus commission', and you need these amounts for your returns and credits.
- GST on fees: check it against the fee invoice, not just the settlement line.
- TCS and TDS: these are statutory deductions reflected in your tax statements. Rates and applicability are set by law and can change, so confirm the current position with your tax adviser and the official notifications.
Keep these in separate columns in your reconciliation so a tax difference is not mistaken for a commission error.
How returns change the numbers
Returns are where payouts drift furthest from expectations. A returned order can involve a reversed sale value, a commission reversal (full, partial or none, depending on your terms), reverse shipping, and sometimes extra charges for damaged, missing or wrong items. Timing also matters: a sale may be paid in one settlement cycle and the return adjusted in a later one.
For each return, check three things: was the commission treatment as per your agreement, was the reverse logistics charge as per the rate card, and, for claims such as missing or damaged items, has a recovery case been raised within the allowed window? Check the claim window in your agreement.
A practical way to check deductions every cycle
- Export the settlement or sales report for the cycle (Myntra reports usually come as Excel files).
- Match each order ID to its sale value, then split deductions into commission, fees, logistics, returns and taxes.
- Recompute expected commission and fees using your agreed base and rates.
- Flag orders where actual and expected differ, and group them by reason: wrong rate, wrong base, duplicate charge, missing return credit.
- Raise the flagged items with Myntra with order IDs, the clause or rate card reference and your calculation.
Done by hand across thousands of orders, this is slow. MarketplaceMetrics by Fundle is built to reconcile marketplace sales and settlements, check commissions and fees against agreed terms, and track returns and recovery cases. Myntra Excel reports are reviewed, and other marketplaces are in scope discussion.
Worked example
Illustrative example only. The rates and amounts below are assumptions made up for this walkthrough. They are not Myntra's rates. Use the figures from your own agreement and settlement report.
| Line | Illustrative amount |
|---|---|
| Customer-paid selling price | ₹1,500 |
| Commission (assumed 20% of selling price) | -₹300 |
| Fixed or collection fee (assumed) | -₹20 |
| Shipping fee (assumed) | -₹70 |
| Tax on fees (assumed, take actual from invoice) | -₹70 |
| Expected payout | ₹1,040 |
| Payout shown in settlement report | ₹1,000 |
| Unexplained variance | ₹40 |
The ₹40 gap is where you investigate: a different commission base, a higher shipping slab, an extra charge, or a TCS or TDS line you did not include in your expected figure (statutory deductions are excluded from this simplified example). Tracing it to a cause, then to a clause or rate card, is the whole job of reconciliation.
Questions and answers
What is the commission on Myntra for sellers?
There is no single rate. Commission depends on your category, brand or price band, commercial model and signed agreement. Check your seller agreement, commercial annexure and latest rate card, and confirm any revision with your Myntra account manager before relying on a percentage.
Where can I see what Myntra deducted from my payout?
Your settlement and order-level reports show deductions line by line, usually as Excel downloads from the seller portal. Match these with fee invoices and your tax statements. If a line has no clear label, ask Myntra for its definition in writing.
Does Myntra charge commission on returned orders?
It depends on your agreement and commercial model. Some terms reverse commission on returns fully or partly, and reverse shipping or other charges may still apply. Read the returns clause, then check each return in the settlement report against it.
Are GST, TCS and TDS part of the Myntra commission?
No. Commission and fees are the marketplace's charges. GST on those fees, TCS and TDS are tax-related lines that also reduce your payout. Rates and rules are set by law and can change, so confirm the current position with your tax adviser.
