It also plans to motivate customers to upgrade by offering discounts of up to Rs 13,000 available on exchange while buying smart TVs, smartphones, home appliances and more.

Amazon is also promising 'never before prices' on smartphone and accessories along with 'rock bottom' prices on electronics. The sale will begin early for prime members and there would be discounts available on Echo, Fire TV Stick and Kindle devices.

Similar to Amazon, Flipkart is also offering 'early pass' for Flipkart Plus members. Users of SBI debit and credit cards would get an instant 10 per cent discount. Additionally, people who make transactions via Paytm would also get assured cashback.

Flipkart claims that it will offer the 'biggest offers on smartphones' including mobile protection for just Re 1 among other offers.
