Cancellation & Refund Policy
This Cancellation & Refund Policy applies to payments made through the Junior Pratibha Olympiad (JPO) platform.
Last Updated: August 2026
1. Registration Cancellation
A school may request cancellation of an examination registration subject to the applicable examination rules and registration deadline.
Cancellation requests should be submitted through the JPO support channel.
Once the examination registration deadline has passed, cancellation or refund requests may not be accepted except where JPO determines otherwise.
2. Refund Eligibility
A refund may be considered in circumstances including:
- Duplicate payment
- Payment successfully deducted but registration was not successfully created
- Technical failure resulting in an incorrect charge
- Cancellation approved under the applicable examination rules
- Other circumstances specifically approved by JPO
Refund eligibility is determined based on the circumstances of the transaction and the applicable JPO examination/registration rules.
3. Non-Refundable Situations
Unless otherwise required by applicable law or specifically approved by JPO, refunds may not be available for:
- Failure to participate in an examination after a valid registration
- Incorrect information supplied by the school
- Failure to meet eligibility requirements after registration
- Requests made after the applicable cancellation deadline
- Voluntary non-participation after the registration has been finalized
4. Duplicate Payments
If a school is charged more than once for the same registration due to a technical or payment-processing issue, the duplicate amount will be reviewed and, where confirmed, refunded.
5. Failed Payments
If money is deducted from a customer's account but JPO does not receive confirmation of a successful payment, the transaction will be verified.
If the payment is subsequently confirmed as unsuccessful and the amount has been debited, the customer may need to wait for the payment provider/bank to reverse the transaction according to its applicable process.
6. Refund Processing
Approved refunds will normally be initiated through the original payment method used for the transaction.
The time required for the amount to appear in the customer's account may depend on the payment provider, bank, card network, or other payment institution.
Refunds can take approximately 5–7 working days, although actual timelines may vary.
7. Partial Refunds
Where applicable, JPO may issue a partial refund based on the specific circumstances of the transaction.
The refund amount will be communicated to the customer where appropriate.
