Amazon.in sellers face the same appeal process as other marketplaces, but invoices, GST details and Indian labeling rules decide many cases. Our appeals team works on Amazon India cases every week. This guide covers why an Amazon India seller account gets deactivated and how to respond.
Quick answer
If your Amazon India seller account is deactivated, start with the notice in Account Health. The most common India-specific causes are invoices that do not meet Amazon’s requirements (GSTIN, buyer and seller details), MRP and labeling problems, brand or authenticity complaints, and verification issues with PAN, GST or bank details. Fix the cause, then appeal with a specific Plan of Action.
Key takeaways
- Amazon India often asks for GST invoices that show your GSTIN and the supplier’s GSTIN.
- MRP and labeling details must match what is printed on the product.
- Brand complaints are common in fashion, beauty and electronics.
- PAN, GST and bank details must all match the registered business.
- Reading your notice is free, wherever you sell.

Why Amazon India seller accounts get deactivated
- Invoice problems: invoices without GSTIN, with a different business name, or from a supplier that cannot be verified. See our invoice requirements guide.
- Authenticity and brand complaints from brand owners. See inauthentic suspension.
- MRP and pricing: listing above MRP or missing MRP and labeling details.
- Verification: PAN, GSTIN, address or bank details that do not match.
- Performance: cancellations, late dispatch or high order defect rate on self-ship orders.
- Category approvals: selling in gated categories without the required licenses, such as FSSAI for food or BIS for certain electronics.

Invoices Amazon India accepts
- Supplier name, address, phone and GSTIN.
- Your business name and address exactly as on the seller account, with your GSTIN.
- Product names that match your listings and quantities that cover your sales.
- Recent dates, usually within the last 365 days.
- Clear, unedited copies. Edited or created invoices can lead to permanent deactivation.
Amazon may contact the supplier to verify the invoice, so use real, traceable suppliers.
Appeal example: weak vs strong
Weak appeal
Sir, we are genuine sellers and all our products are original. Kindly reactivate our account as our business is suffering.
It is emotional, gives no root cause and no evidence.
Strong appeal
Root cause: our invoices for ASIN B0XXXXXXX did not show our GSTIN and covered only part of the units sold. Corrective actions: we obtained corrected GST invoices from our distributor covering all units, attached with the distributor’s contact details. Preventive measures: we now purchase only with GST invoices in our registered business name, checked before every listing.
It names the real cause, attaches proof and shows a lasting change. Details here are illustrative.

Frequently asked questions
Can I appeal an Amazon India deactivation in Hindi?
We recommend clear English. Appeals are reviewed by teams that work in English, and a clear English Plan of Action is easier to verify.
Why does Amazon India reject my invoices?
The most common reasons are a missing GSTIN, a business name that does not match the account, quantities that do not cover sales, or a supplier Amazon cannot verify.

Listing above the printed MRP can lead to listing removal and, if repeated, account-level action. Keep prices at or below MRP.
