@blinkitcares I could get it resolved after following up multiple times. They finally placed bread but the question remains why you try to clear your inventory with near expiry products at first place and what's your policy on bread expiry?

You sold me 6-day-old bread with 2 days left to live — then told me that’s fine because the label says so.Mfg: 01/09
Use by: 09/09
Delivered: 07/09 The loaf already feels stale. Your support’s reply? “It’s still within expiry. Use it.”That’s not freshness. That’s inventory clearance in a 10-min app.

Do you have a policy on how close to “Use By” you’ll sell short-life perishables like bread?
Or is “still technically in date” the only standard?Customers are paying a premium for 10-minute delivery. They expect the product to still feel like it was made this week — not next-to-last-day inventory.
India’s exemplary GDP growth of 7.8% during Q1 of FY 2026-27 is a herculean feat.
The collective strength of our people ensured India delivered such growth despite oil price shocks and supply chain issues in the midst of global uncertainties.
Doomsayers were doomed and India bloomed…yet again!
As a proud BJP supporter, I believe good policy should empower citizens, not just companies. Instead of mainly giving PLI & subsidies to EV manufacturers, let’s give tax benefits directly to people who buy EVs. ₹2-3 lakh deduction (or 10% of salary) over 3 years. This will drive real retail demand. Here’s why 🧵👇

Time to prioritise the retail taxpayer. Give people a clear, multi-year tax benefit for buying EVs rather than mainly subsidising companies. ₹2-3 lakh (or ~10% of salary) over 3 years can unlock millions of personal decisions. What do you think — should the next Budget put tax benefits for EV buyers front and centre? #EVIndia #TaxBenefits #RetailDemand #CleanMobility #BudgetIdeas #2029 #2027

Why this accelerates retail adoption: Creates immediate personal incentive for salaried people
Turns every tax-paying household into a potential EV customer
Demand pull forces manufacturers to compete harder on price, range & features
Complements (doesn’t replace) manufacturing & charging support
Feels fairer — taxpayers see the benefit themselves
Lower running costs already exist. The missing piece is the psychological and cash-flow nudge at the point of purchase.

India’s 2030 targets need mass retail participation, not just commercial fleets and two-wheelers. Direct tax benefits for buyers = stronger demand signal from citizens who actually pay income tax.
Companies still gain volume and scale. The difference is who feels the incentive first.

Contrast this with company-focused PLIs or scheme subsidies:
They lower production costs or give short-term discounts, but the individual still sees a high sticker price and wonders “what’s in it for me long-term?” Behavioural research and real-world patterns show that: Tax benefits are perceived as earned rewards
They reduce the pain of paying (loss aversion)
They encourage planning and commitment (“I’ll claim it over 3 years”)
Result: Higher conversion among middle-class, tax-paying households.
.5/8
Proposed design (simple & transparent): Deduction of ₹2-3 lakh or up to 10% of gross salary (capped reasonably)
Claimable over 3 years
Linked to purchase of a new EV (with possible vehicle-price or segment limits)
This is direct, predictable, and rewards the actual decision-maker — the taxpayer/retail buyer — instead of routing most support through companies.
