Refund Policy
Effective Date: 1st June 2025
1. Purpose
This Refund Policy sets out the conditions under which 24/9 Carwashing Pvt. Ltd. ("Company") will process monetary refunds, the eligible scenarios, the applicable timelines, and the limitations on refund entitlements. This policy forms part of the Customer's agreement with the Company and must be read alongside the Terms & Conditions and Cancellation Policy.
2. Refund Eligibility
Refunds shall only be considered in the following circumstances:
-
Pre-commencement cancellation of a subscription submitted more than 5 (five) days before the scheduled service commencement date (full refund less payment processing charges, which shall not exceed 2% of the fee paid).
-
Post-commencement cancellation within the first 70% of the Service Term, subject to prorata and cancellation fee deductions as specified in the Cancellation Policy.
-
Service failure attributable solely to the Company (e.g., Company unilaterally fails to deliver service without cause for a continuous period of 3 or more consecutive scheduled service days).
-
Duplicate or erroneous payments made by the Customer, verified by the Company's finance team.
3. Scenarios Where No Refund Is Applicable
The following situations explicitly do NOT qualify for a refund under any circumstances:
-
Cancellation requests received after 70% or more of the Service Term has elapsed — the full fee paid is forfeited.
-
Customer non-availability for any number of days during the Service Term.
-
Customer choice to discontinue availing the service after it has commenced.
-
Inability to make the Registered Vehicle available on scheduled service days.
-
Requests to change the Registered Vehicle — the original subscription is discontinued with no refund; the vehicle change process and associated fees are governed by Section 4 of the Terms & Conditions.
-
Dissatisfaction with the service quality where the Company has made reasonable efforts to remedy the issue.
-
Requests made after the Service Term has expired.
4. Refund Computation
Where a refund is due, it shall be calculated as follows:
Component | Computation Basis |
|---|---|
Less: Payment Charges | Actual gateway/processing fee (max 2%) |
Less: Cancellation Fee | 10% × Total contracted package value |
Less: Prorata Used | Daily rate × Number of service days elapsed |
Total Fee Paid | Gross amount paid by Customer at time of subscription |
= Net Refund Amount | Amount to be credited to Customer's original payment source |
5. Refund Processing Timeline
Upon approval of a refund request, the Company shall process the refund within the timelines specified below:
Payment Method | Estimated Credit Timeline |
|---|---|
Cash Payment | Cheque / NEFT within 10 Business Days |
Credit Card | 7–14 Business Days (subject to card issuer) |
Debit Card | 7–10 Business Days |
UPI / Net Banking | 5–7 Business Days |

7. Refund to Original Payment Source
Refunds shall be credited exclusively to the original payment instrument or account used at the time of subscription. The Company shall not issue refunds to a different bank account, third-party account, or in cash (except where the original payment was made in cash).
8. GST on Refunds
Where a refund is processed for a cancelled subscription, the GST component of the refund shall be credited in accordance with applicable GST law.
