Cancellation & Refund Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This policy explains when a payment made to Brahmanda Dhyana Tapovanam Trust can be refunded, and how to ask. It applies to every payment made through this website.
1. Programme and Event Bookings
A booking is confirmed only once payment has been received. Places are limited and allocated in the order they are paid for.
If you are unable to attend:
- Seven or more days before the start date — 50% of the amount paid is refunded. The remaining 50% is retained towards preparation, materials and the place held in your name.
- Less than seven days before the start date — no refund is available, as the place can no longer be offered to anyone else.
- Not attending without notice — no refund is available.
Days are counted from the date your request reaches us to the start date of the programme, in Indian Standard Time.
2. Donations
Donations are non-refundable. Once received, a donation is applied to the work of the Trust and cannot be returned.
If a donation was made in error — a wrong amount, a duplicate payment, or a card used without the owner's knowledge — please contact us promptly at info@brahmandadhyana.org. We will look into such cases sympathetically, though we cannot guarantee a refund.
Where a receipt for tax exemption has already been issued against a donation, it cannot be reversed.
3. If the Trust Cancels or Postpones
If we cancel a programme, or change its dates so that you can no longer attend, you receive a full refund of everything you paid. You may instead choose to move your booking to a later date at no extra cost. This applies regardless of how close to the date the change is made.
4. How to Request a Refund
Write to info@brahmandadhyana.org from the email address used for the booking, including:
- your receipt number, shown on your confirmation email
- the name of the programme and its dates
- the reason you are unable to attend
The date we receive your email is the date used to work out which of the above applies.
5. How Refunds Are Paid
Approved refunds are returned through Razorpay to the same card, account or UPI used for the original payment. We cannot send a refund to a different account.
We process approved refunds within 7 working days. Your bank may take a further 5 to 10 working days to show the money, and international cards can take longer.
Payment-gateway charges on the original payment are not returned by the gateway and are not included in any refund.
