How to cancel Amazon India Prime membership

Canceling your Amazon Prime membership is quite simple and takes just a few steps. Amazon provides many benefits to its Prime customers. This includes one-day and two-day delivery, regular sale and lighting deals with early access for non-Prime members and no minimum order requirement for standard delivery. Prime members of this US company get many other benefits. These include Prime Music, Prime Video and Prime Reading. The company also offers same-day delivery to Prime members for eligible destinations.

If for some reason you want to cancel your Prime membership, you can get it done. A big reason could be its price. In India, this membership is available with a fee of Rs 329 per three months or Rs 999 per year. However, it is much cheaper in India compared to the US. In the US, this subscription is available at a fee of $12.99 (approximately Rs 960) per month. Its annual fee there is $119 (approximately Rs 8,760). At this price you may not want to stick with it.

It is worth noting here that the subscription will continue for the period from the date for which you have taken it, even after cancellation. This means that for example, if you have taken a subscription for three months and after one month you want to cancel it, it will still continue for two months. Therefore, the benefit of canceling the subscription is that after the completion of the period, when it is time for auto renewal, the subscription stops at that time and the auto renewal stops. However, customers can ask its customer service department to cancel the subscription through Amazon’s app or website.

If you want to cancel your subscription manually through your mobile app or computer, follow these steps.
