Top 10 Reasons Returns to Origin Become a Profit Killer Instead of a Retention Lever

In the Indian e-commerce ecosystem, returns to origin (RTO) are often dismissed as a cost of doing business. A necessary evil. A customer-first compromise. But the numbers tell a far more dangerous story. In 2025 alone, Indian sellers lost nearly ₹2 lakh crore in revenue due to returns.

How Can an OMS Help Prevent RTOs and Recover Revenue Post Order in Indian E-commerce

For Indian sellers, growth is often overshadowed by a silent profit-killer: Return to Origin (RTO). For D2C brands, an order is only a “sale” once the cash is in the bank. However, with Cash on Delivery (COD) still accounting for over 60% of transactions in India, the risk of a package traveling across the country only to be refused at the doorstep is a reality that drains margins...
