We were not satisfied with the service provided by the D-Mart staff. Because of the staff’s misbehavior, we decided to return the purchased material. Such behavior may not affect the staff directly, but it can negatively impact the reputation and future business of D-Mart. Please ensure that staff provide proper and respectful service to customers.
Hi Shivaji, welcome to the Complaint Hub!
Returning your purchased materials on the spot was absolutely the right move to make a statement. You are completely right unprofessional behavior and misbehavior from staff directly damage a brand’s reputation, and customers should not be expected to tolerate it just to get their groceries.
However, simply leaving the store and returning the items often isn’t enough to fix the root cause, because local floor staff will usually try to hide these incidents from upper management. To ensure this actually impacts their future business and forces a change in staff behavior, you need to put this on the radar of their corporate team.
Here is the exact step-by-step process to escalate your grievance against the specific D-Mart branch, complete with official contact channels:
1. Register a Formal Complaint with Central Support
D-Mart’s central customer service needs a documented record of the incident. When contacting them, be sure to provide the exact store location, the date and time of your visit, and a description (or name, if you have it) of the staff member involved.
- Customer Care Numbers: Call their official helplines at 022-68120900 or 022-33400500.
- Email Escalation: Send a detailed written account of the misbehavior to
customerservice@dmart.inand copysuggestion@dmartindia.com.
2. Lodge a Digital Feedback / Grievance Ticket
You can also create a digital paper trail directly through their corporate systems, which forces them to generate a tracking number for your issue.
- Action: Go to the official D-Mart website or use the DMart Ready App. Navigate to the “Contact Us” or “Feedback” section to open the online complaint form. Fill out the details regarding the staff’s behavior and note down the reference ticket number.

3. Demand Escalation to the Store Manager
If the standard customer care team gives you a generic apology, reply to your email ticket and explicitly request that the complaint be forwarded to the Store Manager or Regional Manager of that specific branch. Store Managers are held strictly accountable for branch metrics and customer retention, and they take corporate escalations regarding floor staff very seriously.
4. National Consumer Helpline (NCH)
If the staff’s misbehavior was particularly severe, involved harassment, or if you faced any resistance or deductions when trying to get your refund for the returned materials, you have the right to escalate this to the government level.
- Action: Register a grievance against Avenue Supermarts Ltd. (the parent company that operates D-Mart) for “Deficiency in Service” on the national consumer portal.

Community Pro-Tip: Make sure you hold onto the receipt showing your returned items and the refund! This serves as your undeniable physical proof that you were at the store on that date and that the transaction was reversed due to your dissatisfaction.
