Setting up your India billing - AWS Billing

Setting up your India billing

If you sign up for a new account and choose India for your contact address, your user agreement is with Amazon Web Services India Private Limited (AWS India), a local AWS seller in India. AWS India manages your billing, and your invoice total is listed in rupees instead of dollars. After you create an account with AWS India, you can't change the country in your contact information.

If you have an existing account with an India address, your account is either with AWS or AWS India, depending on when you opened the account. To learn whether your account is with AWS or AWS India, see Finding the seller of record. If you're an existing AWS customer, you can continue to use your AWS account. You also can choose to have both an AWS account and an AWS India account, though they can't be consolidated into the same payment family. For information about managing an AWS account, see Setting up your tax information.

Signing up for AWS India

AWS India is a local seller of AWS. To sign up for an AWS India account if your contact address is in India, see Manage accounts in India in the AWS Account Management Reference Guide.

Changing the seller of record to or from AWS India

You can change your AWS account seller of record (SOR) from AWS India to other SORs. When you edit your country or region in your AWS account billing or tax details, the SOR for your account might change if the service provider of the new location is different from your current setting.

If you're changing your account to or from AWS India, you do not need to update your default payment method if it is set to invoice or wire transfer. If your default payment method is credit or debit card, you are required to reconfirm your default payment card details. This is to ensure the payment method is stored separately from the transactions outside of AWS India. For more information, see Viewing eligible credit or debit cards for AWS India invoices.

Note

If you have an account with a credit or debit card as your default payment method and you have e-mandate set up for automatic payments, you must deactivate the e-mandate to proceed editing your default payment preferences.

The service provider or SOR of an account is automatically set based on the tax or billing information of your AWS account. You can edit this information using the following options:

To change the SOR using billing information
  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Billing and Cost Management console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/.

  2. On the navigation pane, choose Payment preferences.

  3. In the Default payment preferences section, choose Edit.

  4. Enter the new billing address.

  5. In the Payment currency section, choose a default currency from the list of accepted currencies of your new SOR.

  6. (If your default payment method is credit or debit card) Under the Confirm payment method section, reenter the details of your default payment card to confirm usage under the new service provider.

    To change default cards under the new SOR, add your card at a later time and change your default payment method setting.

  7. Choose Save changes.

After a few minutes, your changes including the updated SOR appears on the Payment preferences page.

To change the SOR using billing and tax information

To move your account to a different SOR, you must update the tax registration number (TRN) associated with the account and provide a new, valid TRN. You can also delete the TRN associated with the account. The new SOR of your account automatically resolves based on the country of your new tax address, and your current billing address, in order of availability and priority. When your account’s SOR changes, you will receive a notification that your account is moving in or out of AWS India.

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Billing and Cost Management console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/billing/.

  2. On the navigation pane, choose Tax Settings.

  3. Select your account and choose Manage tax registration, then choose either Edit, Edit all, or Delete TRN.

  4. (If your default payment method is credit or debit card) On the navigation pane, choose Payment preferences.

  5. Choose Add payment method to reenter the details of your default payment card, or add a new payment card.

  6. After the card is saved, choose Set as default.

The Default payment preferences section alerts you that your previous default payment method is not eligible for use in the new SOR. Refresh the page after you add your payment card for this alert to disappear.

If you're unable to change the SOR using the preceding procedures, contact AWS Support.
