Amazon Associates India How to Join 2026

To join Amazon Associates India, you need an active website, blog, YouTube channel, or social media account with original content. Amazon reviews your application manually, so your platform should have at least some published content before applying. There is no minimum traffic requirement, but accounts with very little content may be rejected.

You must be a resident of India and have a valid PAN card for tax purposes. A bank account for NEFT payouts is also required. The minimum payout threshold is ₹2,500, which is released 60 days after the end of the month in which the qualifying purchases occurred.

Go to affiliate-program.amazon.in and click 'Join Now for Free'. Sign in with your existing Amazon India account or create a new one. Enter your account information including your website or app URLs — you can add up to 50 URLs. Then fill in your profile describing your niche, how you drive traffic, and how you plan to use Amazon links.

Next, enter your payment and tax information. You'll need your bank account details for NEFT transfers and your PAN card number. Once submitted, you get immediate access to the Associates dashboard and can start generating affiliate links right away. Amazon will review your account within 180 days — you need to make at least 3 qualifying sales in that window to keep your account active.

Amazon Associates India commission rates vary significantly by category. Electronics earn 1-3%, which is low but volume-driven. Fashion and apparel pays 5-9%, Beauty and Personal Care 4-6%, and Books 7%. Some niche categories like Luxury Beauty can pay up to 10%.

For creators, the sweet spot is fashion, beauty, and books content where commissions are higher. A creator sending 100 buyers/month to purchase a ₹2,000 fashion item at 7% commission would earn ₹14,000/month passively.
