It's one of the worst service from Amazon India regarding the payment.
When it comes for payment no-one will respond to your email.
Once you close the account you will get a mail.
You keep on opening new Account once your commission go up they will close your account and again you will get the same email to reapply.
Below is a line of a mail from Amazon. Till date no payment is confirmed from Amazon

I referred someone to order products that I've used from Amazon. That person bought 35 items in one month and I received 0 commission. I was told that my referrals were ineligible for earnings. I was unable to dispute and they would give me no direct answer as to why the decision was made.
WARNING: Anyone who is considering using the associates program, I warn you. It is always broken. Weeks on end, every month. Then the support team has no clue what is going on. I am pretty sure that they just hire walk-ins off the street, and their training is about 5 seconds. It is simply responding with "We're working on it". I would suggest looking elsewhere, this is a sinking ship run by monkeys.
Amazon closed my account and refused to pay for sales I made over 5 months. A week after I entered my payment details, they closed my account with zero warning and without paying. They have now ignored my email asking what' going on. They have ignored multiple emails at this stage. They also don't have a phone number so it's impossible to actually speak to a real person. Never trust a business that doesn't have a phone number. All legit, trustworthy businesses have phone support or an account manager you can contact.
You start your website, setup the links and everything, and after a while they close the account, don't tell you why, and you have no more access to anything. Since I'm in Europe I'll ask them all my data regarding my affiliate account, but I guess they'll never answer, because they don't care about you since the beginning.
And worst of all, they ask you to reapply.
Someone bought a large ticketed item through my link. They didn't not give me a commission. I reached out and they claimed it was flagged because it appeared to be either me or someone I knew buying the item. What? I do not know who bought the item. But, the sports bra I linked also? Oh, yeah, we'll give you 19 cents for that. I am frustrated and plan to use a different affiliate program altogether when and if I refer them again.
I though my orders looked low. Amazon admitted to not paying me for orders. Claimed they were from friends and family but won't share why they think that. My link is only on my website and has NEVER been used elsewhere. None of my orders were from friends and/or family. None of them. Unethical practices.
Amazon associates use to be a great company to promote products and receive a FAIR commission. Now it's peanuts and not worth it. Do not waste your time creating content and promoting their products. Not worth it at all. We went from generating $40,000 a year to generated $5,000.
One sided program that takes advantage of users who help sell products. Amazon Associate program is designed to milk your work and then add fees to avoid payment. Fall short of their demands and all your work is lost while they continue to take advantage of your sales.
Stay away from these scammers, I made about 100$ and they removed my account, now when I log in, I have to register first, put website, ID, name etc. when I did that and get to the earnings tab, I checked and showed 0$.
Don't promote these fuc*sters
