What is Escrow?

Escrow is a neutral holding account. When a buyer wins your auction, they deposit the full payment into KrishiPulse Escrow immediately. The money is only released to you after the quality inspector confirms your produce matches the listed grade.

Settlement Timeline

Auction closes → Buyer deposits in escrow (within 2 hours) → Quality check at pickup (within 24 hours) → Payment released to farmer bank account (within 2 hours of quality approval). Total: 24–48 hours from auction close.

What if the Quality Check Fails?

If produce does not match the listed grade, you can renegotiate, accept the revised price, or relist at no charge. The buyer's funds remain in escrow until resolution.

Supported Payment Methods

Farmer receives payment via NEFT/RTGS bank transfer or UPI. We support all major banks. There is no cash or cheque option.
