Refund Policy

How refunds work for payments your customers make, for KaroPay gateway plans and for wallet top-ups — and exactly how to raise a request if something went wrong.

Last updated: 25 September 2026 About 5 min read

The short version

  • Customer payments go straight to the merchant, so refunds to customers are issued by the merchant, not by KaroPay.
  • Charged twice or charged by mistake? We verify and credit it back to your KaroPay wallet.
  • Money debited but wallet not credited? Share the client_txn_id / UTR and we credit it after checking.
  • Timeline: acknowledged within 24 business hours, resolved within 3–5 business days.

1 Payments made by your customers

When a customer pays through a KaroPay QR or payment link, the money moves directly from their UPI app to the merchant’s own UPI / merchant account. KaroPay never receives it, so KaroPay cannot reverse or refund it.

  • Customers: for a refund, cancellation or wrong / duplicate payment, contact the business you paid. Their name is shown on the payment page and in your UPI app.
  • Merchants: refund your customer from your own bank or UPI app, and keep the order’s UTR for your records.
  • If the money left the customer’s account but never reached the merchant, it is a UPI / bank issue: the customer should raise a complaint in their UPI app or with their bank using the UTR. Such failed transactions are usually auto-reversed by the bank.

3 KaroPay gateway plans

Quota lost because of a KaroPay faultThe affected requests are credited back after we validate the logs.

4 Wallet top-ups

  • A top-up is credited automatically once your UPI payment is confirmed.
  • If money was debited from your account but the wallet was not credited, raise a request with the client_txn_id and UTR. After we confirm the payment was received, the amount is credited to your wallet.
  • If you cancelled the payment screen but still completed the payment in your UPI app, the top-up is still credited once the payment is detected.
  • Wallet balance is used for KaroPay services and is not withdrawn as cash. All approved adjustments are made as wallet credits.

5 Service issues on our side

If a fault in KaroPay caused failed orders or wasted quota, share the time window and the affected order IDs. Eligible requests are credited back to your plan quota or wallet after we validate our logs.

6 How to raise a request

Email support@karopay.in from your registered email ID with:

  • your registered mobile number or login ID;
  • the Tracking ID / client_txn_id and the 12-digit UTR (for payment issues);
  • the date, time, amount and a short description, with screenshots if you have them.
We acknowledge every request within 24 business hours and resolve it within 3–5 business days.

7 Not covered

  • Refunds of customer payments (these are handled by the merchant, see section 1).
  • Issues caused by incorrect details you entered, such as a wrong UPI ID, amount or webhook URL.
  • Payments missed while your merchant account was disconnected, logged out, or your inbox access was revoked.
  • Outages, limits or charges of banks, NPCI, UPI apps or merchant providers, which are outside KaroPay’s control.
  • Accounts suspended for breaking our Terms of Service.
