The Amazon Ads console accepts a very low daily budget, but the budget that produces usable data is higher. A Seller Central India forum thread calls ₹100 to ₹200 a day unworkable, and SW Cybernetics puts the practical minimum at about ₹500 a day, noting that below ₹300 you rarely get data. The real minimum is enough for ten or more clicks a day on one product.
The console will let you save a budget that buys one or two clicks a day. Nothing stops you, and the campaign will show Delivering. What it will not do is produce data. At an 8% conversion rate, two clicks a day is one order every six days, and you cannot tell a good keyword from a bad one on that. After a month you have spent money and learned nothing, which is how many sellers conclude that ads do not work.
The minimum that matters is set by your CPC, not by Amazon. A seller in a ₹7-per-click category can learn on far less than one in a ₹40 category, so two sellers asking the same question can both be right with very different numbers. Work yours out from your own CPC before copying anyone else's budget.
Your own campaign report is best. Without one, eVanik's category medians of ₹7 to ₹19 are a starting guide; competitive terms run ₹39 to ₹150 per forum reports.
At ten clicks a day and 8% conversion, you get about six orders a week, enough to start reading keywords.
Ten clicks at ₹15 is ₹150 a day for one product. At ₹40 it is ₹400.
One auto and one manual campaign per product doubles it. Around ₹300 to ₹800 a day per product is typical, which is why SW Cybernetics quotes about ₹500.
| Figure | What it refers to | Source |
|---|---|---|
| ₹100 to ₹200 a day | Called unworkable by a seller | Seller Central India forum |
| Below ₹300 a day | Rarely produces usable data | SW Cybernetics |
| About ₹500 a day | Practical minimum | SW Cybernetics |
| About ₹15,000 a month | Level below which ads rarely pay off | SW Cybernetics |
These are opinions from a seller and an agency, not Amazon rules. They agree with each other and with the arithmetic above, which is why we quote them.
Raise the budget when the campaign runs out before evening and its ACoS is at or below target. Our out of budget guide covers that decision. Do not raise it because a campaign is not spending; that is a bid or eligibility problem, not a budget one. Our how much to spend guide covers starting budgets across Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho for sellers planning a first month.
With a small budget every wasted click hurts. BlooprintAI's search term view for Amazon India shows the terms taking spend with no orders across all campaigns, and lets you add them as negatives or lower their bids in one action after a summary. At ₹14,999 a month it is priced for sellers spending enough on ads for the time saving to matter; a seller at ₹500 a day may do better with the console and a weekly spreadsheet.
Bulk bid, budget and placement changes with a summary before anything is applied, from ₹14,999 per month.

You can, but at typical CPCs it buys a handful of clicks and too few orders to learn from. Spend it on one product and exact-match keywords if you must.
The console enforces a low floor per click, but a bid at the floor rarely wins auctions. Set bids from price, conversion rate and target ACoS instead.
SW Cybernetics suggests about ₹15,000 a month as the level where ads start to pay off. Start with one or two products and raise as ACoS allows.
Probably not below a few thousand rupees a day of ad spend. The software saves time across many campaigns; a small account can run from the console.
