Refund & Cancellation Policy
Last updated: June 2026
1. Donations are generally non-refundable
Donations to Sociium Foundation are voluntary contributions to charitable work and are not ordinarily refundable once processed.
2. Exceptions — when we do refund
- Duplicate transactions caused by a technical or gateway error.
- Incorrect amount charged due to a technical error on our platform.
- Failed payments where money was debited but no donation was recorded — these are typically auto-reversed by your bank within 5–7 working days; if not, we will help resolve it.
To request a refund under these exceptions, write to us via the contact page within 7 days of the transaction, quoting your receipt number or Razorpay payment ID. Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method within 7–10 working days.
3. Cancelling a monthly donation
You may cancel a recurring monthly donation at any time by writing to us via the contact page. Cancellation stops future charges; amounts already donated are not refundable.
4. Receipts for refunded donations
If a donation is refunded, the corresponding receipt (including any 80G receipt) stands cancelled and must not be used for tax purposes.
