Refund Policy

Last updated: 13 September 2026

What to expect if a fee payment on DigiFee Mitra fails, duplicates, or needs to be refunded.

01Overview

This Refund Policy covers payments made through DigiFee Mitra, the School's online fee portal. It explains what happens if a payment fails, is duplicated, or needs to be reversed.

02Fee refund eligibility

Refunds of school fees themselves (for example, on withdrawal or transfer of a student) are governed by the School's own fee refund rules, not by the payment portal. Please contact the School office directly for eligibility and processing of such refunds.

03Failed transactions

If an amount is debited from your bank account but the portal shows the payment as failed or pending, in most cases the amount is automatically reversed to your original payment method by your bank or Razorpay, typically within 5–7 working days.

If the reversal does not appear within this window, please share your transaction reference (visible in your bank statement or Razorpay confirmation SMS/email) with the School office so it can be traced.

04Duplicate payments

If the same fee instalment is accidentally paid twice, the School will verify both transactions against its records and refund the duplicate amount to the original payment method, usually within 7–10 working days of the request being confirmed.

05How to request a refund

To request a refund for a failed, duplicate, or otherwise incorrect payment, please contact the School office with the following details:

  • Student's name and admission number
  • Date and amount of the payment
  • Payment reference / Razorpay order ID

You can share these details with the office in person or start with a message on WhatsApp using the button below.

06Processing time

Once a refund is approved, funds are returned to the original payment method used for the transaction. Depending on your bank, this may take a further 3–7 working days to reflect in your account.

07Non-refundable amounts

Any payment gateway convenience fee shown separately at checkout, if applicable, is retained by the payment processor and is not refundable, even where the underlying fee payment is refunded.

Requesting a refund?

Share your payment reference on WhatsApp and the office will follow up.
