Quick answer
A Blinkit payout sheet starts from A, what customers paid for your goods less returns, then subtracts B, order-level charges (commission, shipping, customer return charge, TCS and TDS, each with its GST line), and C, inventory charges (upfront storage, recall, storage or aging, courier). It adds back D, refunds and compensation (ads refund, lost or damaged inventory, TCS and TDS reimbursement, other credit or debit notes), subtracts E, other deductions, and carries any amount unsettled from the last cycle to reach the net payout. Sheet F, the LP–SP adjustment, is information only and is not part of the payout.
Blinkit sends each payout cycle as a set of Excel workbooks: a Payout Breakup summary and detail sheets behind each letter. Most sellers only look at the net figure that reaches the bank. This guide explains every line, shows a worked example with round illustrative numbers, and gives a checklist to verify the cycle before you accept it.

Worked example (illustrative numbers)
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| A. Customer payable | ₹1,00,000 |
| B. Commission, shipping and return charges with GST | −₹14,000 |
| B. TCS (0.5%) and TDS (0.1%) | −₹600 |
| C. Upfront storage, aging storage and recall with GST | −₹2,400 |
| D. Lost/damaged compensation | +₹500 |
| E. Other deductions | −₹0 |
| Net payout | ₹83,500 |
These numbers are made up to show the arithmetic; they are not a real seller's figures or Blinkit's rates. The ₹600 of TCS and TDS is not a cost: you claim it back (see TDS 194-O and TCS for Blinkit sellers). The GST on commission, shipping and storage is usually input tax credit if Blinkit's invoices carry your GSTIN; match it with GSTR-2B reconciliation.
