Payments

Refunds follow a controlled approval workflow.

Not every payment is refundable. Sankalp applies Embassy policy, payment state, and workflow evidence before a refund is approved or rejected.

Typical refund scenarios

Refunds are usually considered for duplicate payments, failed service fulfilment, or policy-approved reversals. Approved fees already tied to processing activity may remain non-refundable.

  • Duplicate collection
  • Unsuccessful transaction settlement
  • Service non-delivery
  • Policy-approved cancellation cases

What the review team checks

Finance and audit records are cross-checked against application state, payment gateway records, and approval rules before funds are released back through the valid channel.

  • Payment reference integrity
  • Application status
  • Approval authority
  • Destination account consistency
