1. Membership Application Fees

The Greater Bangalore Tax Practitioners Association collects membership subscription fees in Indian Rupees (INR) for evaluating, enrolling, and maintaining professional membership.

• Application Rejection: If a membership application is rejected by the Managing Committee due to ineligibility or non-fulfillment of criteria, the membership fee paid will be refunded 100% to the original payment method within 7–10 business days.
• Application Withdrawal: If an applicant chooses to withdraw their application before it is approved or processed by the Committee, they may request a refund by emailing contact@gbtpabengaluru.com. A nominal administrative processing fee may apply.
• Approved Memberships: Once an application is approved and an official Membership Number and Digital Certificate are issued, membership fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

2. Seminars, Workshops & Events

GBTPA organizes Continuing Professional Education (CPE) seminars, workshops, and study circle meetings for tax practitioners and members:

• Cancellation by Participant: Written notice of cancellation received at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled event will be eligible for a full refund or credit towards future seminars. Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the event are non-refundable due to venue commitments.
• Cancellation / Rescheduling by GBTPA: In the rare event that a seminar or training program is cancelled by GBTPA due to unforeseen circumstances, participants will receive a 100% full refund within 5–7 working days.

3. Duplicate or Erroneous Transactions

If a duplicate payment is charged due to technical glitches, network timeouts, or repeated button clicks during payment gateway checkout, the excess amount will be refunded automatically or upon receipt of transaction details within 5–7 business days to the original payment source.

4. Mode and Timeline of Refund

All approved refunds are initiated through our secure payment gateway partner (Cashfree Payments) directly to the original payment source (UPI account, debit/credit card, or net banking account).

Depending on the member's bank processing schedule, the refunded amount typically reflects in your bank statement within 5 to 7 business days from the date of refund initiation.
