Bottle exchange and security deposit explained

Pearl Voda · 10 October 2026 · 4 min read

Short answer

We bring full bottles and take your empties back on the same visit. You pay a refundable security deposit, Rs 1,250 on regular supply, Rs 1,000 on the monthly advance plan or Rs 850 on the weekly offer and corporate supply. It is returned within 4 to 5 days after your account is closed.

How the exchange works day to day

You keep your empties ready. When the delivery arrives, the driver hands over full bottles and collects the empties. You never have to carry a bottle out or find somewhere to return it. Because delivery is included in the rate, the exchange costs nothing extra.

How you track your bottles

Right after each delivery an automated WhatsApp message arrives with three numbers: bottles supplied, bottles exchanged and your remaining balance. This replaces paper receipts, which tend to get lost. If a count ever looks wrong, that message is what you check first and what you show us.

What the deposit is

The security deposit is a refundable amount held for the bottles on your account. It is not a fee and it is not part of the per-bottle price.

Getting the deposit back

When you close your account, the deposit is returned within 4 to 5 days. To close it, tell us before your next delivery, on WhatsApp or by phone, and we take care of the rest.

Cancelling or pausing

If you only want to skip a delivery or pause the plan, tell us before the delivery. There is no minimum order, so there is no penalty for ordering less.
