Refund Policy

Question: Am I entitled to a refund of the fee paid?

Please review the refund rules applicable to various services and programs below.

A. Registration Verification Fee

The verification fee of ₹1,000 plus applicable GST paid for Verified Registration is a one-time processing and verification charge and is strictly non-refundable under any circumstances once the verification process has been initiated or completed.

The fee is charged solely towards administrative processing, credential verification, and related services, and is independent of the applicant's success in obtaining employment, internship, or any other opportunity through the Academy.

B. Course, Workshop, and Training Programme Fees

Fees paid for courses, workshops, or training programmes are ordinarily non-refundable. A refund shall be considered only in the following circumstances:

1

Cancellation by SDT Academy

If a course, workshop, or training programme is cancelled by the Academy and no alternative programme is offered, the participant shall be eligible for a refund of the programme fee, excluding applicable GST where required by law.

2

Postponement by SDT Academy

If the Academy postpones a programme and the revised schedule is demonstrably unsuitable for the participant, the participant may submit a written request for refund, together with reasons and supporting justification.

All such requests shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and the decision of the Academy regarding eligibility for refund shall be final and binding.

No refund shall be granted in the event of:

Voluntary withdrawal by the participant
Failure to attend or complete the programme
Change of personal schedule or employment commitments
Technical issues attributable to the participant
Dissatisfaction with the programme after commencement
Any other reason not covered under this Refund Policy

GST

GST collected in accordance with applicable tax laws is non-refundable, except where refund of GST is expressly permitted under the applicable provisions of the Goods and Services Tax laws and regulations in force in India.

General

The Academy reserves the right to modify, amend, or update this Payment and Refund Policy at any time without prior notice. Any such revision shall become effective from the date of publication on the official SDT Academy website.
