Flipkart has tightened its return policy for popular products. While the e-commerce company allowed returns within 30 days from purchase, it will now consider the requests made within 10 days.

However, the new 10-day policy for returns applies only to categories such as mobile phones, electronics and books -- the top-selling items on Flipkart.

For footwear, eyewear, jewellery, clothing, watches, fashion accessories and large appliances, customers will still be able to avail of a 30-day period to file for returns.

Starting June 20, prices of products are likely to go up considering the increase in commission that goes to the site for each purchase, according to a report in the Economic Times.
