Refund Policy

Last updated: October 2026

This policy covers payments for service requests on NyaySetu: the advocate fee and the NyaySetu service fee you pay when you accept a quote, and ₹49 DocDraft downloads.

Guiding principle

Posting a request is free, and you pay only when you accept a quote. If the work can’t be completed, we first try another advocate. If that isn’t possible, you get your money back in full, including our service fee.

Common scenarios

The table below explains the refund outcome in each situation.

Situation

The advocate drops out or can't finish the work

Refund outcome

We assign another verified advocate at no extra cost. If we can't, full refund including the NyaySetu service fee.

Situation

The typical time has passed and nothing has been delivered

Refund outcome

Tell us from your request page. We follow up with the advocate and agree the next step with you: a new date, another advocate, or a full refund.

Situation

You cancel after paying, before any work has started

Refund outcome

Everything you paid is refunded except ₹99, or 3% of the amount if that is more. This covers payment charges and processing.

Situation

You cancel after work has started

Refund outcome

We review how much work has been done and agree a partial refund of the advocate fee with you. The NyaySetu service fee is not refunded.

Situation

The delivered work is not what was agreed

Refund outcome

Tell us before you confirm, within 48 hours of delivery. We review it with the advocate; it may be corrected, redone or refunded, decided case by case.

Situation

You confirmed the work, or 48 hours passed after delivery

Refund outcome

The work counts as accepted. No refund after this, except where the law requires.

Situation

A payment failed but money left your account, or you were charged twice

Refund outcome

Full refund of the extra amount.

Situation

DocDraft PDF (₹49) doesn't download or opens damaged

Refund outcome

WhatsApp or call us and we'll regenerate it for you on priority. Downloaded PDFs are not refundable.

Situation

Serious matters where we connect you directly with an advocate

Refund outcome

Nothing is paid through NyaySetu. Fees you agree with the advocate are between you and the advocate.

Timing and dispatch

Once a refund is agreed, we send it to our payment gateway, usually the same working day. Banks usually credit it within 5–7 working days. You can see the status on your dashboard.

Earlier consultations

Payments for Quick Ask and Live Chat consultations (services we no longer offer) follow the refund policy that applied when you paid.
