I would like to buy Macbook Air from online shopping sites like flipkart.com or snapdeal.com . But i'm not clear regarding warranty.
As snapdeal and flipkart.com displaying 1year warranty in their websites, but these websites are not authorised apple sellers. In future, if i face any hardware problems or yellow tint on screen, will apple service center accept my warranty ?
MacBook Air
Buy Apple products only from Apple or Apple authorized sellers.
Best.
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
After you purchase the machine you can add a legitimate 3yr Apple care plan if the machine is indeed new.
What websites are apple authorised sellers?

Hard to say … I would contact the seller and ask if the warranty being offered is an original AppleCare warranty. Sometimes second or third party Apple vendors (not Authorized per say), offer their own independent warranties, which obviously may not be as good as the original Applecare warranty.
Contact the seller on this BEFORE you buy!
Flipkart.com says their MacBook Air Warranty is serviced by Apple …. so it looks OK
This was screen grabbed right off the Flipkart.com site for the Apple MBA:
It looks like the same holds true for snapdeal.com, selling the MBA as well:

If the MacBook you are planning on purchasing, is sealed and brand new, it will come with an Applecare warranty. The issue sometimes is that many Apple sellers are selling opened/returned, refurbished, or already one-time previously purchased Apple products (even if new and sealed, it may already be "cutting into" the remaining Applecare warranty time left on the product).
Apple will only honor their Applecare warranty from the ORIGINAL (first-time) purchaser date of that specific Apple product. So if the online seller once purchased that Apple product (meaning it has already been purchased from Apple, before you buy it)…. then AppleCare warranty would only be effective from the original FIRST-TIME purchase date.
Again … clear the warranty issue with the seller BEFORE purchasing!
Apple Macbook warranty valid for online shopping ?
