Refund and Cancellation Policy
1. Nature of Donations and Payments
All financial contributions made to Global Development Foundation through this website or authorized payment channels are voluntary donations intended to support charitable, developmental, and social initiatives.
2. Refund Policy Statement
As GDF functions as a non-profit organisation, donations are ordinarily non-refundable. Funds received are promptly directed toward program implementation and operational responsibilities, making reversal impractical.
3. Refund Exceptions
Refunds may be reviewed only in limited situations, including duplicate payments, technical processing errors, or unauthorized transactions. Requests must be submitted within seven (7) days of the transaction date, supported by verifiable payment documentation. Approval remains at the sole discretion of GDF.
4. Refund Processing Timeline
Approved refunds, where applicable, will be processed using the original payment method. The processing period may range between 7 and 14 business days, subject to banking or payment gateway procedures.
5. Tax Benefit Considerations
Once a donation receipt or tax exemption certificate under Section 80G has been issued, refund requests will generally not be entertained except where mandated by law.
