2. Refund Amount Calculation (GST Deduction)
2.1 GST and Payment Gateway Charges
All refunds are subject to mandatory deductions:
- GST Amount (18%): Non-refundable to customer as it's already paid to the government
- Payment Gateway Charges (2-3%): Transaction fees charged by Razorpay
Formula:
Membership Price = Base Amount + GST (18%)
Refundable Amount = Base Amount - Payment Gateway Fee (2-3%)
2.2 Refund Calculation Example
Example: For a membership priced at ₹299
- • Total Paid: ₹299
- • GST Amount (18%): ₹45.66 (deducted)
- • Base Amount: ₹253.34
- • Payment Gateway Fee (2.5%): ₹6.33 (deducted)
- • Customer Receives: ₹247.01
*The exact refund amount depends on your membership price and payment method used. Gateway fees vary between 2-3% based on payment method (UPI, Cards, Net Banking).

- GST (Goods and Services Tax) at 18% is collected by us on behalf of the Government of India
- This amount is already deposited with tax authorities as per GST law
- When we refund, the GST component cannot be recovered from government
- The customer does not receive the GST portion in refunds
