6. Refund Process

Send your refund request in writing to hello@saiphacademy.com or via WhatsApp to +91 9188910755. Include your full name, batch date, reason for withdrawal, and payment details.
Step 2 — Review
We will acknowledge your request within 2 working days and review your eligibility based on this policy.
Step 3 — Processing
If your refund is approved, the eligible amount will be transferred to your original payment method (bank account / UPI) within 7–10 working days of approval.
Step 4 — Confirmation
You will receive a confirmation message once the refund has been processed.
7. Seat Transfer
As an alternative to a refund, you may request to transfer your seat to the next available batch. Seat transfers are subject to availability and must be requested at least 7 days before the current batch start date. A transfer request does not constitute withdrawal and will not trigger a refund.
