- Clearance
- Released earnings become withdrawable after 7 days (14 days for a freelancer’s first 3 released milestones). This protects everyone against payment reversals.
- Minimum withdrawal
- Rs 1,000
- Withdrawal limits
- Rs 200,000 per day and Rs 1,000,000 per calendar month.
- Withdrawal review
- Withdrawals are checked by our team before they are sent, usually within 1 working day.

- A 72-hour security cooling-off period applies before a new or changed payout account can receive money.
