Last year’s sale started on Sept 27, 2024 (Oct 29 end), and the next sale after GIF will be around year-end (Amazon Great Republic Day in January, Christmas sale in December, etc.). Amazon also announced Flipkart’s Big Billion Days around the same time, so deals will run parallel.

Quiz and Games: Amazon often hosts a Great Indian Festival Quiz on its app, where you answer daily questions to win cash vouchers. Don’t forget to play during the sale to earn extra Amazon Pay balance.
