Amazon has always been in my list of least preferred site for ordering books because of extra shipping cost that it adds to deliver books in India. It also means I don’t prefer recommend it to my readers but prefer Flipkart over Amazon but recently I started offering links to Amazon.com for international readers and Flipkart for Indian readers (Like here). Slowly earnings in Amazon Affiliate account started accumulating and it reached a point where I was sent a check.

It feels great when you get these earnings surprises. This check is already credited into my SBI Bank account.

Congrats Shabbir. All the best for next check.
Oh… Btw congrats for your cheque as well.. I am so silly
Thanks Rakesh.
Hello,
Can you please tell how do you deposit that cheque in SBI because I received my first cheque from Amazon yesterday and luckily I have an SBI account as well.
I mean do we have to fill the slip normally or something special. Do we have give any proof or letter or something. Or do I have to personally go there.
It would be a great great help if you could share what to do because this is my first cheque in USD ever and I don’t want thinks to go wrong.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you.
Rakesh,
First of all congrats for getting the check from Amazon and normally the process to deposit the check is same as any other Indian check but the clearance would take 21 working days before amount is credited into your account.
So I will suggest you to keep a xerox copy of the check you submit.
So that means do not have to answer silly and suspicious questions like why I got the USD, what is the source of income and etc etc. I will get a xerox done which I really didn’t thought of. Thanks for that.
As you say it is same as India cheque, that means I fill in the slip with the USD instead of rupees. What I am really afraid of is that do I have to give any proof or letters or something because I don’t want unnecessary trouble. I though don’t mind if it takes even 1mnth to clear the cheque.
No your income in USD is no different and at least they don’t ask me anything. I just fill the slip and drop the check in the dropbox and rest is all handled by SBI Team.
If you want to be doubly sure make sure you don’t drop the check in your nearest branch but a main branch of your city.
Ok thanks for the help. Let hope all ends well..
The pleasure is all mine Rakesh.

Please ask your questions in English. Regarding how to do marketing is too general a question to be asking and browse the blog and you will find the answer to it.
