If the cancellation request is received before any document review or service initiation, the Company may, at its sole discretion, approve a partial refund after deducting administrative and processing costs.
Once work has commenced — including reviewing the client’s request, verifying documents, or sending requirement lists — no cancellation or refund shall be permitted.

False, misleading, or fraudulent information is submitted.
-
Payment is not received in full.
-
The client fails to provide required documents within a reasonable time.

The client violates the Terms and Conditions or misuses our website or services.
In such cases, no refund will be issued, and the Company may pursue appropriate legal remedies.

All payments are non-refundable once service processing begins. Work initiation includes, but is not limited to:
-
Reviewing or verifying client details or documents
-
Communicating with the client regarding documentation or process
-
Preparing or drafting applications or agreements
-
Submitting or uploading information to any portal
Once any of the above steps are performed, the service is deemed initiated and no refund shall be processed.
5.2 Government or Third-Party Fees
Government fees, stamp duties, or registration charges are non-refundable once paid or processed.
If a transaction fails due to technical errors, the Company will assist in resolution but is not liable for delays or losses caused by third-party systems.
5.3 Rejection or Delay by Government Authorities
The Company does not guarantee approval of any application.
No refund shall be issued for any rejection, delay, or modification of an application by a government department, regardless of reason.
5.4 Duplicate Payment
In case of duplicate payment, the verified excess amount will be refunded to the original payment source within 10 to 15 working days.
5.5 Technical Payment Errors
If a payment transaction fails but the amount is debited, the amount will be refunded within 7 to 10 working days after verification from the payment gateway or bank.
5.6 Refund Request Made Immediately After Payment
If a client requests a refund immediately after making payment and before any consultancy activity (including communication or document review) has started, the Company may issue a partial refund.
In such cases, 30% of the total service amount will be deducted as a non-refundable administrative and acquisition cost, covering advertising, payment gateway, and operational expenses.
The remaining 70% will be refunded within 15 to 30 working days after approval.
5.7 No Refund After Service Initiation
Once we have reviewed a client’s request, assessed requirements, or sent the list of documents or steps, the service is deemed initiated.
From that point, no refund will be issued, even if:
-
The client does not provide required documents.
-
The client withdraws or loses interest.
-
The client remains unresponsive or discontinues communication.
-
The client later discovers the service is available directly on a government portal.
It is the client’s sole responsibility to research service availability and cost before placing an order or making payment.
