General

Everything you need to know about our peer-to-peer rental marketplace and how the platform operates.

Anokhi Reet is a premium peer-to-peer rental marketplace for traditional Indian outfits. We connect owners who want to monetize their designer ethnic wear with renters looking for premium outfits without the luxury price tag.
Renters browse outfits, select rental dates, and send an inquiry. Once the owner accepts, renter and owner coordinate payment and delivery directly. Renters return the outfit after their event.
Yes, owners usually require a security deposit to cover potential damage or loss. Since payments are completed directly between renter and owner, the deposit is paid to the owner and is fully refunded by them once the outfit is returned in its original condition.
All coordination is done through our built-in real-time chat feature on the platform, allowing you to easily message owners, clarify sizing, and arrange pick-ups.

Renting

Details on sizing, try-ons, care, and what to do in case of minor wear or damage during your rental.

Each product page lists detailed measurements (bust, waist, height, etc.). You can also use the built-in chat to message the owner directly and clarify sizing, fit, or ask for adjustments.
Outfits should be clean and ready-to-wear when you receive them. The responsibility for post-rental cleaning and maintenance (including whether the outfit must be returned unwashed or dry-cleaned) is decided by both the renter and owner during coordination.
Minor wear (like loose threads or small, washable stains) is expected. For major damages, tears, or permanent stains, please refer to our Damage Policy. Disputes are resolved directly between the renter and owner.
Since rentals are peer-to-peer, try-ons depend on the owner's policy and proximity. You can coordinate this with the owner via our built-in chat prior to confirming the booking.

Listing

Guidance for lenders on how to price, list, and earn from your designer ethnic wardrobe safely.

Click 'List an Outfit' in your profile, upload clear photos of your outfit (preferably worn or on a mannequin), enter the brand, color, and set your desired daily rental price.
We recommend pricing your rental at 10% to 20% of the outfit's original retail price per day. You can adjust this based on the outfit's design, demand, and condition.
Since rental payments are made directly by the renter to you, you will receive your earnings using the payment method (such as UPI or cash) you mutually agree upon with the renter before delivery.
If an outfit is returned with major damage or permanent stains, the security deposit can be held to cover repair costs. Please refer to our Damage Policy and report damages immediately upon return.

Delivery & Pick-up

Information regarding local pickup, courier coordination, shipping fees, and timely delivery.

Delivery is mutually coordinated between the renter and owner. You can choose to meet in person for local pick-ups or arrange third-party courier services (like Dunzo, Porter, or standard shipping).
Delivery and shipping costs are typically borne by the renter, unless specified otherwise by the owner during your coordination chat.
Please message the owner immediately through the chat. Since payments are completed directly between you and the owner, you should request a refund directly from them. You can also contact our support team to report the issue so we can take appropriate action on the owner's account status if necessary.

Payments & Security

Understanding peer-to-peer transactions, payment methods, and security deposit refunds.

Since rental transactions are completed directly between the renter and owner, you can use any mutually agreed payment method (such as UPI, bank transfer, or cash). The platform does not process rental payments.
Yes, your data is fully encrypted and stored securely. Contact details and pickup addresses are only shared between the renter and owner after a rental arrangement is mutually confirmed in chat.
Since security deposits are paid directly to the owner, the return of the deposit is handled directly between you and the owner. We recommend coordinating the refund immediately after the owner inspects and confirms the outfit's condition upon return.

Cancellations & Returns

Clear policies on canceling a booking, late returns, and handling partial refunds.

Yes, bookings can be canceled. Since rental payments and deposits are handled directly, refund terms, eligibility, and the return of any pre-payments must be coordinated and agreed upon directly between you and the owner.
Late returns are subject to standard daily rental charges plus a late fee, which is typically agreed upon and settled/deducted from your security deposit by the owner to compensate for potential booking conflicts.
You are welcome to return the outfit early, but partial refunds for unused days of the booked rental period are subject to agreement between you and the owner.
