Contributions
Refund & Cancellation Policy
Last updated: 12 October 2026
In short: contributions are non-refundable, except when a payment went wrong.
1. Contributions are non-refundable
All contributions to Vaidic Dharma Sansthan are non-refundable. A contribution is an offering to a religious and charitable trust for a seva, not a purchase. Once a booking is paid, it cannot be cancelled for a refund.
2. If you cannot attend, or need a change
The priest takes the sankalpa in your name whether or not you attend, so your seva is still performed. To correct a name, gotra or other detail, or to ask about another date for a recurring puja, email [email protected] with your receipt number before the puja date.
3. If we change or cannot hold a seva
If we change the date, time or venue, we tell you by SMS, WhatsApp or email. If a seva you booked cannot be held, we perform your sankalpa at the next suitable puja and tell you.
4. When we do refund
We refund in full in these cases:
- you were charged twice for the same booking because of a technical error;
- the payment was taken but no booking or receipt was created;
- we cancel a booking because it was made on a clear error in our price or details.
Email [email protected] with your name, mobile number, the amount, the date, and the Razorpay payment ID or receipt number.
5. How a refund is paid
We return the money to the same card, UPI account or bank account that paid, through Razorpay. We start the refund within 7 working days of confirming it. Your bank may take a further 5 to 7 working days to show it.
