Refund Policy

ARDSI is instituting a donation refund policy to ensure fair and transparent processing of requests for refund of donations as digital payments are becoming more frequent. ARDSI expects that all donors will exercise due care and diligence while making donations. ARDSI also recognises that a donation may be made erroneously or donors may change their mind.

ARDSI will examine each request for refund of donation and endeavour to make the refund. ARDSI may also seek further information / documents and donor must co-operate in this regard. However, ARDSI is not obliged to make refunds and may, in its discretion, decline any requests for refund of donations, particularly if a tax exemption certificate has been issued.

If you would like your donation to ARDSI to be refunded, You must request ARDSI in writing or by email for a refund and Your request must reach ARDSI within 7 (seven) days from the date on which you made the donation i.e. the date on which you:

  • - Handed over the cheque / demand draft to ARDSI or someone authorised by ARDSI for this purpose, OR
  • - Despatched the cheque / demand draft to ARDSI by other means.
