Step 1: Gather Required Information
Before submitting your request, collect the following details:
- Your registered email address or mobile number linked to your account
- Transaction ID or Order Number
- Date of purchase
- Payment method used (UPI, credit/debit card, net banking, wallet, etc.)

- Website: Use the Contact Us / Support form available at trueecaler.com
In your communication, clearly mention "Refund Request" in the subject line to help our team prioritize and process your inquiry.
Step 3: Acknowledgement
Upon receiving your refund request, our support team will send you an acknowledgement within 2 business days, confirming receipt of your request and the estimated timeline for resolution.
Step 4: Review and Verification
Our team will review your request against the eligibility criteria outlined in this policy. This process may involve verifying your account activity, usage logs, payment records, and any technical reports. We may contact you for additional information or clarification during this stage.
Step 5: Decision and Notification
A final decision on your refund request will be communicated to you via email within 7 to 10 business days of the acknowledgement date. If your request is approved, refund processing will begin immediately. If it is declined, we will provide a clear explanation of the reason.
Step 6: Refund Initiation
Approved refunds will be initiated to the original payment method used at the time of purchase. Please refer to Section 6 for processing timelines by payment method.
6. Refund Processing Times by Payment Method
Once a refund is approved and initiated by our team, the time taken to reflect in your account depends on the payment method used:
| Payment Method | Estimated Refund Processing Time |
|---|---|

| Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard, RuPay, etc.) | 5 – 10 business days |

| Net Banking | 3 – 7 business days |
| Digital Wallets (Paytm, PhonePe, etc.) | 2 – 5 business days |
| Bank Transfer / NEFT / IMPS | 3 – 7 business days |
7. Partial Refunds
In certain situations, a partial refund may be issued rather than a full refund. Partial refunds apply under the following conditions:
- Partial Use of Subscription: If you have used a portion of a subscription period and request a refund for the remaining unused period, a pro-rated refund may be issued for the unused days, subject to our discretion.
- Partial Service Delivery: If a purchased service was only partially delivered due to a technical failure on our end, you may be eligible for a refund proportional to the undelivered portion.
- Feature Downgrade: If a premium feature becomes temporarily unavailable due to a platform issue and you were charged for that specific feature during the period of unavailability, a partial refund or account credit may be offered.
- Bundle Purchases: If a bundle of services was purchased and only one or more components are disputed, a partial refund corresponding to the disputed component(s) may be considered, provided the remaining components were used.
Partial refunds are issued at the sole discretion of trueecaler.com management and will be calculated based on usage data, subscription duration, and the nature of the issue.
8. Exchange Policy
As a provider of digital technology services, we do not offer a traditional exchange policy. However, we do offer the following alternatives in appropriate circumstances:
- Plan Upgrade / Downgrade: You may request to switch between subscription plans. If upgrading, the difference in cost will be billed on a pro-rated basis. If downgrading, the difference may be credited to your account for future use.
- Account Credit: In lieu of a monetary refund, we may offer account credits of equivalent value that can be applied toward future purchases or renewals. This will be offered as an alternative and is not mandatory to accept.
- Service Swap: Where technically feasible, we may allow you to swap one purchased service or feature for another of equivalent value, provided neither has been substantially used.
All exchange requests are subject to availability and must be submitted through the same refund request process described in Section 5.
9. Cancellation Policy
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. The following terms apply to cancellations:
9.1 Cancellation Before Renewal
If you cancel your subscription before the next billing cycle begins, you will continue to have access to your premium features until the end of your current paid period. No further charges will be applied after cancellation. Refunds are generally not issued for the current billing period already paid unless the cancellation is due to a technical error or billing issue.
9.2 Cancellation After Renewal
If your subscription renews and you wish to cancel shortly thereafter, you may submit a refund request within the applicable timeframe specified in Section 3. Approved cancellation refunds will be processed as described in this policy.
9.3 Auto-Renewal Notification
We will send you a renewal reminder at least 7 days before your subscription is due to auto-renew, in compliance with best practices and consumer protection guidelines. It is your responsibility to cancel before the renewal date if you do not wish to continue. Failure to receive a reminder due to an incorrect email address on file does not constitute grounds for an automatic refund.
9.4 Immediate Cancellation
In cases where a service becomes unavailable or substantially degraded due to factors within our control, we reserve the right to cancel subscriptions proactively and issue appropriate refunds or credits to affected users.
10. Dispute Resolution Process
If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your refund request, you have the right to escalate the matter through the following dispute resolution process:
10.1 Internal Escalation
You may escalate your complaint to our senior support team by replying to the decision email and requesting a supervisory review. Please clearly state that you are requesting an escalation and provide any additional information that may support your case. We will respond to escalated disputes within 5 business days.
10.2 Formal Written Complaint
If the escalation does not resolve your issue, you may submit a formal written complaint via email to [email protected] with the subject line "Formal Refund Dispute". Our designated Grievance Officer will review your complaint and provide a final written response within 15 business days in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021.
10.3 Consumer Forum / External Redressal
If you remain unsatisfied after exhausting our internal dispute resolution channels, you have the right to approach the following external bodies:
- National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) or the appropriate State / District Consumer Forum as per the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
- RBI's Banking Ombudsman for disputes related to digital payment failures or unauthorized transactions.
- Cyber Crime Cell for any suspected fraudulent or unauthorized charges, reachable at cybercrime.gov.in.
10.4 Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Refund Policy is governed by the laws of the Republic of India. Any disputes arising from this policy shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts located in India.
11. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
We strongly encourage customers to contact us directly before initiating a chargeback through their bank or payment provider. Initiating a chargeback without first attempting to resolve the issue with us may result in:
- Immediate suspension of your account pending investigation.
- A formal response to your bank or card network contesting the chargeback with supporting evidence.
- Possible permanent termination of your account if the chargeback is found to be unwarranted.
If a chargeback is filed fraudulently or without merit, we reserve the right to pursue all available legal remedies. We cooperate fully with all payment processors and banking institutions in chargeback investigations.
12. Changes to This Refund Policy
We reserve the right to amend, update, or modify this Refund Policy at any time. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated effective date.
