Our approach to cancellations and refunds for service fees and transactions.
At Shiva Digital Seva Kendra, we aim to process every service request accurately and on time. Because most of our services involve submitting applications to government departments, banks or other authorities, our facilitation fee is charged for the work of preparing, verifying and submitting your application — not for the final outcome, which rests with the concerned authority.
For AEPS, money transfer, cash withdrawal and other banking correspondent transactions, refunds (in case of failed or disputed transactions) are governed by the respective bank's and NPCI's guidelines and timelines. We will actively assist you in raising and tracking such disputes with the concerned bank, though the final resolution and refund timeline is determined by the bank.
Since these are instant, on-the-spot services, refunds are not applicable once the output (print/photocopy/typed document) has been delivered to you. If an error is caused directly by our staff (e.g. wrong print), we will correct or reprint it at no additional cost.
Any government fee, stamp duty, or third-party charge paid on your behalf as part of your application is subject to that authority's own refund rules, which are outside our control. We will guide you on the correct process to claim such refunds where applicable.
If you believe you are eligible for a refund under this policy, please contact us within 7 days of the transaction with your service details:
Approved refunds are processed within 7–10 working days, generally through the same payment method used originally.
We may update this Refund Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
