Haven't made up my mind yet. Was just checking if better deals are available. We can bargain a lot with offline sellers, Just don't know by how much.
That's a great deal, you can always proceed with that. Subjected to buying from trusted source.

Thank you for your advise.
Yes its a trusted chain (not as famous as Croma but pretty good). I forgot to mention, it's 45k plus some freebies.
Samsung is offering a best price of 53k that too with deferred exchange option (we need to pay fully and then wait for the old phone to be picked up. Final price at the mercy of buyback executive).

Any idea about the Additional Exchange Bonus? I have an S22 with a green line issue, and according to this URL: Samsung Exchange Info, I understand that the price will be requoted.
However, what I need to know is: Will the Additional Exchange Bonus be removed too?
If I go for the S25 base model (₹80,990), I expect:
Canceling would mean paying ₹2,999 + GST as an order cancellation fee.

If I go for the S25 base model (₹80,990), I expect:
- ₹11,000 Additional Exchange Bonus
- instead of 26,010/ 23,040 i would get only 10,000-11,000 Max
Canceling would mean paying ₹2,999 + GST as an order cancellation fee.
Smart Exchange Value
- New device price: ₹80,999
- Maximum value for current device: ₹26,010
- Additional Exchange Bonus: ₹11,000
- Effective price after exchange: ₹43,989
Instant Exchange Value
- New device price: ₹80,999
- (-) Instant Discount: ₹23,040
- (-) Additional Exchange Bonus: ₹11,000
- Amount to pay on checkout: ₹46,959
Choose the 'Instant Exchange Value' option. It offers a better discount compared to the 'Smart Exchange' option, and the price drop over time is also lower. I'm sharing this based on my personal experience.
Additionally, if you're a first-time user on the Samsung Shop, you can get an extra discount. However, referral codes won't be applicable if you're using the exchange or EMI option.
So, for maximum savings right now, the best discounts available are the exchange discount and the double storage discount .
the difference is 2,970 but my main question is on Additional Exchange Bonus be removed too cause in t&C is mentioned if they is any dent for requoation but no clue if Additional Exchange Bonus be removed too or not! cause if i select Instant Exchange then i would be forced to pay some 11,000 + 23,040 = 34,040 if cashify/samsung doesn't give Additional Exchange Bonus on non flawless device
My question is specifically about the Additional Exchange Bonus—will it also be removed if the device I’m exchanging isn’t flawless?
If I choose Instant Exchange, I’d need to pay ₹11,000 (Additional Exchange Bonus) + ₹23,040, which would lower the total amount. But I’m considering Smart Exchange to claim a higher GST refund, so I need clarity before proceeding.
Since I paid the full amount, the device will be delivered under Smart Exchange, but the pricing is a bit unclear. The way I see it:

- Minus ₹16,000 adjustment (since I’ll only get ₹10,000 for the S22)

I am buying through Flipkart. I will try Samsung.com. Thanks for the info
flipkart downside is no GST applicable if exchange is used vs Samsung allow GST plus some 4,000 i have off cause of some previous purchase through samsungshop plus if you decide to buy then use cashkaro if you don't have Samsung shop app mean no samsung device cause of 4000 welcome voucher. also some referral benefit is also there but then there some limitation what combo offer can be used. first decide by today itself cause by tomorrow 4,000 welcome voucher would be gone. if prebooked then you will free case and few thing.

Wouldn't you get gst rebate of approx 5000 if you choose instant exchange and approx 12000 if you choose smart exchange? Correct me if I am wrong.

So we cant claim gst input if we are exchanging device on Flipkart? 🥲
Why are they giving option then 😔
I opted for this exchange after almost two years, and in the meantime, Samsung has slightly changed its partnership. Now, as far as I know, Cashify representatives no longer handle exchanges directly. Instead, Samsung sends their own team for the exchange.
So, determining the exact exchange value today is difficult. Previously, the exchange amount was transferred directly to your account, but now it gets adjusted in the total cost of the new phone if you choose the instant discount option. If there is any price difference, you need to pay that amount. If the deal doesn’t work out, you can cancel the order, but there might be some cancellation charges.
Alternatively, you can visit the nearest Samsung store for an exchange. The exchange value will be roughly the same, but the advantage is that Samsung representatives will handle everything on the spot and give you the new phone immediately. This makes the process clearer.
If the online exchange doesn’t seem beneficial, I would personally choose this in-store option.
yes that correct.
