On each order Meesho charges sellers 0% commission on all product categories and no payment-gateway or COD fee; what you pay is the shipping charge plus 18% GST on it, a return shipping fee when a customer returns an order, and nothing for an RTO (supplier.meesho.com/pricing and /shipping, checked 4 Oct 2026). The law adds 0.5% TCS and 0.1% TDS on marketplace payouts.

TCS and TDS are taxes, not Meesho fees: TCS under GST is 0.5% since 10 July 2024, down from 1%, and TDS is 0.1%. Your CA can claim both as credits, but they still make a payout look a few rupees short.

In the Supplier Panel
How to check your Meesho charges in the Supplier Panel
- 1
Open Payments from the left menu
Payments is one of the panel areas Meesho’s lesson names. Start with Next Payment, the amount due on the next payout (7th day from delivery).
- 2
Open “Deductions and Compensations”
Meesho’s place for “penalties, waivers and compensations”. A deduction lands here, not as a separate bill.
- 3
Check a product’s return shipping fee
Open the product from Inventory. The return fee varies by product, sits in its details and follows the shipment’s weight.
- 4
Dispute a wrong deduction
Support → “Payments & Penalties” → “I have an issue with a penalty for an order(s)”; for other money issues, “Other Payment related issues” (penalty lesson, 4 Oct 2026).
Settlement
Why your Meesho settlement is lower than your price
- Pricing as if 0% commission means ₹0 cost. The seller pays shipping on every order; put it into your price.
- Forgetting GST on shipping. 18% applies to the shipping charge; ask your CA about input tax credit.
- Treating TCS and TDS as lost. 0.5% and 0.1% are held back; your CA claims them when returns are filed.
- Counting RTO and returns as the same. RTO costs ₹0; a customer return costs a fee by weight.

The returns process is in Meesho returns for sellers. Meesho also takes sellers without a regular GSTIN, which changes the GST lines: see selling on Meesho without GST.

Payout
Meesho seller payment cycle: when the money arrives
Where the payout shows
The Next Payment report in the Payments area shows the amount due on the next payout; Previous Payment and Last Payment show what was paid. Meesho’s older first-payments lesson still says “every 15 days”; the pricing and how-it-works pages say 7 days, and we follow them.
What the payout will be
The Meesho seller calculator takes your selling price and the shipping charge in your panel and works out the bank settlement and the profit per order. The screenshot at the top of this page is its output: a ₹314.10 settlement on a ₹399 kurti with ₹70 shipping, our own example. Other fee calculators are on our seller fees and GST hub.
