- Look for exchange + installation bundles and extended warranty upsells discounted during BBD. Flipkart’s hub mentions EMI and UPI savings.
Fashion & beauty
- Historically heavy-percent markdowns; if a ₹1 fashion pass appears on your account, apply it on a single, high-value cart to maximize benefit. (Check in-app T&Cs.)

Pro tips from deal-hungry shoppers
- Two-cart strategy: Split big electronics and small accessories into separate orders. prevents hitting bank caps too early.
