OTP-Verified Delivery — Delivery completed only after the rider confirms an OTP sent to the customer's phone — the strongest POD in Indian e-commerce.

Why it matters to your store

Cuts 'item not received' fraud and NDR excuses ('customer refused' when they didn't). Worth requesting for high-value COD orders especially.

This is the vocabulary every courier invoice, NDR report and rate card is written in — learn it once, save money forever.

Worked example

₹8,000 COD phone: rider can't mark delivered without the buyer's OTP — fake-refusal RTO drops to near zero.

The bottom line

Shipping jargon is really just the billing manual in disguise — every term on this list maps to a line on an invoice or a lever on your margins. Pure Parcel is built so you rarely have to think about it: statuses normalise, bills reconcile, and quotes already include the surcharges.
