Aggregator Settlement Dispute Letter Pack

Four platform-specific dispute letters — Zomato, Swiggy, Amazon, MakeMyTrip — in editable Word. Each carries the platform dispute window (Amazon 7 days, Zomato 15, Swiggy 21, MakeMyTrip 30) in the opening line and the named-role escalation ladder (POC → SPOC → operations manager → key account director) at the foot. Illustrative placeholders included — customise before sending.

What's inside — 5 components
Four platform-specific letter templates
Zomato Restaurant Partner Portal dispute (short-form, 15-day window), Swiggy Partner App dispute (in-app + written trail, 21-day window), Amazon Seller Central Contact Us + Seller Support Case Log + SPN grievance officer letter (7-day urgency + statutory grievance ladder), and MakeMyTrip Hotel Extranet Reservation Manager escalation (30-day negotiation window). Each letter ships as .docx so your finance or partner-management team can edit in Word before sending — no PDF flattening, no re-typing from a screenshot.
Four dispute categories, pre-scaffolded in every letter
Commission overcharge, TDS/TCS misapplied, SLA penalty overreach, and storage/cancellation-policy dispute. Every template has a dedicated section per category with the ledger evidence to attach and the specific clause of the platform partner agreement to cite — a mixed-cause claim (say, a wrong commission slab plus a disallowed cancellation charge) does not need four separate letters.
Platform dispute window called out in the opening line
Amazon 7 days from disbursement, Zomato 15 days from settlement, Swiggy 21 days from payout, MakeMyTrip 30 days from reservation-cycle close. Each letter states the applicable window in its opening sentence so the counterparty cannot silently route the claim to backlog past it — and so an internal reviewer catches a late-filed dispute before it goes out.
Escalation ladder per platform
Each pack lists the ladder to walk if the first-line contact goes silent: POC → SPOC → operations manager → key account director. Ladders are stated as named roles, not personal names, so a template does not go stale when platform staff rotate. Cadence per rung is included (5 working days at POC, 3 at SPOC, 2 at ops manager) so the escalation is calibrated rather than reactive.
Placeholder fields, highlighted for a final review pass
Every letter carries clearly marked placeholder fields — [PLATFORM ACCOUNT MANAGER NAME], [SETTLEMENT REFERENCE], [DISPUTE AMOUNT], [SETTLEMENT DATE], [INVOICE/ORDER RANGE] — rendered in a distinct highlight colour so a placeholder cannot slip through unchanged. A final-review checklist at the top of each template requires each placeholder to be signed off before send.
Illustrative placeholders included. Each template ships pre-populated with sample values in every placeholder field so the structure is visible when you first open the .docx. A REPLACE BEFORE SENDING highlight sits on each [PLACEHOLDER] — customise every field, verify the settlement reference and dispute amount against your ledger, and re-read the escalation cadence for your account before sending. The pack is a starting structure, not a fire-and-forget mail merge.

Where this letter pack fits

This is the escalation asset for the platform-settlement leg of a monthly close. Read the companion article, the upstream decomposition sheet, the runbook it slots into, or the pillar the whole methodology sits under.

Aggregator Settlement Dispute Templates — India
The companion article explaining what belongs in each of the four letters, when a dispute is worth filing, and what evidence to attach — read alongside the templates.
Platform Settlement Decomposition in Google Sheets — India
Playbook Brief 8, the upstream reconciliation sheet these letters draw from. Decomposes gross platform sales into commission, TDS, TCS, SLA penalty, and storage/cancellation charges so the dispute amount is defensible line by line.
Bank Reconciliation Runbook — Days 1–5
Playbook Brief 1, the upstream close-week runbook. The first five days of the month is when platform payout variances are surfaced against bank credits — the trigger event for these dispute letters.
Monthly Close Playbook — India Pillar
The umbrella methodology this letter pack plugs into: how platform-settlement disputes fit alongside the bank, GST, and TDS legs of a monthly close.
Invoice-to-Bank Reconciliation Failure Modes — India
failure mode analysis Brief 1, bidirectional counterpart. The failure-mode taxonomy that predicts which platform variances will need a dispute letter in the first place — so a template can be pulled the moment the mode is detected, not weeks later.
Zomato Restaurant Settlement Reconciliation
How Zomato payouts decompose, where variances typically originate, and which of them justify filing the 15-day-window template rather than absorbing.
Swiggy Restaurant Settlement Reconciliation
Swiggy-specific decomposition — commission tiers by outlet age, SLA penalty triggers, promotional co-funding treatment — feeding the 21-day-window template.
Amazon SPN GST Reconciliation — India
Amazon-specific: MTR vs settlement report vs GSTR-1, TCS Section 52 reconciliation, SPN grievance-officer route — feeding the 7-day-window template with the statutory grievance ladder appended.
MakeMyTrip Hotel Settlement Reconciliation
MakeMyTrip-specific: extranet-driven pricing overrides, reservation-cycle cutoffs, cancellation-fee split treatment — feeding the 30-day-window template with the Reservation Manager escalation path.
Three-Way ITC Reconciliation Workbook
Sibling free download: the Excel workbook for the GST leg of the same monthly close — purchase register vs GSTR-2B vs IMS actions in one file.
Reconciliation Software — India
The automated equivalent — what a live platform-settlement reconciliation looks like when dispute volumes exceed what a Word template pack can sustain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the letter pack really free?
Yes. There is no charge and no trial period. The download link appears immediately on this page after you submit the form — nothing is emailed to you first, and there is no waiting period.
What happens after I submit the form?
The download link appears immediately on this page — nothing is emailed to you first, and there is no waiting period. We use your details to send an occasional update on Indian reconciliation (statutory changes, new templates, worked examples); you can ignore or unsubscribe from those at any time without losing access to the download you already have.
What if my aggregator is not one of the four in the pack?
The four templates cover the largest food-delivery, marketplace, and OTA platforms in India, but the letter structure is portable. Copy the closest-fit template (Zomato/Swiggy for another food-delivery platform, Amazon for another marketplace, MakeMyTrip for another OTA), replace the dispute-window figure with your platform partner agreement value, and replace the escalation ladder with the roles named in your onboarding pack. The dispute categories (commission overcharge, TDS/TCS misapplied, SLA penalty overreach, storage/cancellation) are common across aggregator models.
Disclaimer. The pre-loaded placeholders in each template are illustrative only — invented account manager names, invented settlement references, invented dispute amounts — so the letter structure is visible on first open. Customise every placeholder against your actual platform partner agreement, ledger reference, and dispute quantum before sending; a letter sent with an unchanged placeholder undermines the claim. Dispute-window figures (Amazon 7 days, Zomato 15, Swiggy 21, MakeMyTrip 30) are stated in the templates as the customary contractual windows and should be verified against the version of the partner agreement in force for your account before citing. This pack is a starting structure, not legal advice; involve your Chartered Accountant or legal counsel where the dispute quantum warrants it.

When the letter pack stops scaling

Word templates handle a handful of monthly disputes cleanly. Past that — or once dispute- eligible variances have to be caught inside the platform window rather than at close — a live reconciliation that flags each variance against its dispute-window countdown and pre-drafts the correct platform letter makes sense. TransactIG configures in 2–4 weeks. ISO 27001:2022 certified.
