Apart from this, Snapdeal earlier announced new payment option called Wallet on Delivery. Through this, buyers will be able to make cashless purchases through Snapdeal-owned FreeCharge wallet.

Paytm, one of the most successful digital payment companies in India, is happily on board with the government's new announcement. The platform has seen over 400 percent growth in traffic since the announcement took place, the company said in an emailed statement on Wednesday. Following Snapdeal's 'Wallet on Delivery' service, Paytm also announced it was working on a similar service, called 'Paytm on Delivery'.

Since the new announcement, major e-commerce sites like Amazon have suspended 'Cash on Delivery (CoD)'. Flipkart and Snapdeal have limited CoD to items priced above Rs. 2,000.

Snapdeal's 10 percent 'Instant Discount' offer is valid only on Thursday. The offer is also valid on EMI purchases made through Debit or Credit cards.
