This Clause governs the process and circumstances under which refunds may be initiated in respect of loan disbursements and associated financial transactions undertaken through the Company’s digital lending platforms for consumer durable loans, personal loans and to the extent applicable to other loan products.
The Company, in compliance with fair lending practices and applicable regulatory guidelines, acknowledges the Borrower’s right to request refunds or raise disputes arising from duplicate payments, loan cancellation within the cooling-off period, or other transaction-related discrepancies. Accordingly, this Policy shall apply to all loan products disbursed by the Company, and shall be read in conjunction with the applicable Loan Agreement, Key Fact Statement (KFS), and digital lending guidelines issued by the Reserve Bank of India from time to time.
Where the Borrower cancels the loan or withdraws from the arrangement within a period of three (3) calendar days from the date of loan disbursement or from the date of execution of the loan agreement, whichever is earlier (hereinafter referred to as the “Cooling-Off Period”), the Borrower shall be entitled to a refund of the amounts, if any, paid by him/her towards loan repayment or pre-closure, subject to deduction of a one-time processing fee, as disclosed at the time of sanction and documented in the KFS. The Company shall not be liable to refund any such fee retained pursuant to cancellation, provided the same was disclosed and accepted by the Borrower prior to disbursement.
In cases where duplicate or excess payments have been made by the Borrower—whether due to technical error, system failure, or manual overpayment—the Borrower may submit a refund request to the Company within seven (7) calendar days of the said transaction. Such request must be accompanied by supporting documentation, including but not limited to payment confirmation, transaction reference number, date and mode of payment, and bank statements, if applicable. Upon validation of the request, and subject to confirmation of excess remittance, the Company shall initiate the refund of the excess amount within a maximum of three (3) working days from the date of successful verification.
Where the loan disbursed by the Company is used for financing a consumer durable purchase and such purchase is subsequently cancelled by the Borrower with the merchant or the product is returned or exchanged, the Company shall not be obligated to reverse the loan or cancel the loan agreement unless the Borrower remits the full amount of the merchant refund to the Company, including any applicable charges or penalties already incurred. The Borrower shall remain liable to continue servicing the loan, including payment of all scheduled EMIs and applicable interest, until such time as the refunded amount is received by the Company and applied toward reduction or closure of the outstanding liability. The Company shall not be responsible for any delay in refund processing by the merchant or any loss arising therefrom.
It is further clarified that once a loan repayment is made by the Borrower toward any scheduled EMI, part-prepayment, or full pre-closure of the loan facility, such payment shall be treated as final and non-refundable, unless it is conclusively established that such amount was remitted in excess or due to duplicate debit as per the provisions of this Policy. Refunds shall not be applicable to any penal charges, statutory taxes, or third-party expenses already incurred by the Company and disclosed to the Borrower.
Any grievance, dispute, or escalation regarding a refund or cancellation request shall be handled by the Company’s designated Grievance Redressal Officer, whose contact details shall be published on the Company’s website. In case the matter remains unresolved beyond thirty (30) days, the Borrower may escalate the matter to the Office of the RBI Ombudsman under the Integrated Ombudsman Scheme.
