Refund & Cancellation Policy

Effective Date: October 2026 | Firm: Apex Legal Firm

1. Nature of Professional Legal Engagements

Legal consulting, chartered accountant compliance, document drafting, and multi-decade title searches require dedicated professional man-hours, specialist resource allocation, and immediate administrative liaison upon engagement confirmation. Consequently, refunds are governed strictly based on the execution stage of the commissioned service.

2. Cancellation Prior to Work Commencement

If a client requests cancellation in writing within 24 hours of booking and prior to our advocates or legal associates commencing document verification, drafting, or registry searches, a full refund of the professional fee will be granted, subject only to a nominal 5% payment gateway processing charge.

3. Non-Refundable Statutory Government Fees

In statutory filings (including MCA ROC fees, Digital Signature issuance costs, GST challans, Trademark government stamp duties, FoSCoS registration fees, and Sub-Registrar Office search challans), all fees remitted directly to Government treasuries or official portals are strictly non-refundable once generated, as government departments do not return statutory filing fees.

4. Work in Progress & Completed Deliverables

• Work in Progress: Where legal drafting has begun, parent deed scrutiny has been initiated, or government applications have been drafted, a proportional deduction reflecting advocate drafting hours will apply, with the unutilized professional balance refunded.
• Completed Deliverables: Once a Title Scrutiny Report (TSR), Legal Scrutiny Report (LSR), certified incorporation charter, filed tax acknowledgment, or statutory license has been finalized and dispatched to the client, the professional fee is non-refundable.

5. Departmental Queries & Service Guarantee

If a government authority (MCA, Income Tax, FoSCoS, or Trademark Registry) raises a statutory objection or clarification resubmission requisition concerning our drafted documentation, Apex Legal Firm will resolve, rectify, and refile the required documentation at zero additional professional fees until the compliance is conclusively adjudicated.
