AKT Associates - Comprehensive Refund Policy

1. Proportionate Refund – When a payment of fee is made to AKT Associates, the fees paid in advance and credited to Clients Account. AKT Associates will have the right to earn the fees on completion of various stages and final delivery of services or documents to clients satisfactorily. During an engagement, AKT Associates earns a fee at different rates and different times depending on the completion of various stages of work (e.g. Doing initial check, sending pending documents list, obtaining DIN, Filing of forms, etc.,). A refund cannot be provided for an earned fee because resources and man-hours spent on delivering the service are non-returnable in nature. Further, we can’t refund or credit any money paid to government entities, such as filing fees or taxes, or to other third parties with a role in processing your order. Under any circumstance, AKT Associates shall be liable to refund only up to the fee paid by the client.
   
   
2. Delay beyond our control – Refund request will be considered only in a case where either the work is delayed beyond reasonable time due to non-action from our part. We depend on various Govt. Agencies, Department, their Websites & other establishments to complete the work. Sometimes delays resulted from inaction or technical issues from the third party, which takes time to resolve. AKT Associates will update client time to time about such disruptions. Time wasted on such issues will be excluded from our promised delivery time, as it will be beyond our control to short out such issues. Hence refund cannot be granted solely on the delay caused due to such reason beyond our capacity. However, the client is entitled to withdraw their work and AKT Associates is bound to refund the fees for the stages not completed.
