Online khareedari karte waqt sabse zaroori step payment security ka hota hai. Choti si galti aapke bank account ko khali kar sakti hai. In rules ko hamesha dhyan me rakhein:

Agar aap kisi naye ya anjaan shopping platform se saaman khreed rahe hain, toh hamesha **Cash on Delivery (COD)** ka hi option chunein. Saaman haath me aane par hi payment karein.
C. OTP Aur CVV Kabhi Share Na Karein
Delivery boy ko sirf delivery confirmation OTP hi batayein. Kabhi bhi apna Banking OTP, Credit/Debit card ka CVV number ya PIN kisi bhi call, email ya agent ke sath share na karein.
