Challan Payment Facilitation Fee

GaadiInfo charges a flat Rs 199 Platform Service Fee (plus 18% GST of Rs 35.82) per challan payment transaction. This fee pays for challan lookup, payment processing and support — it is not a government fee, court fee or legal charge. The refund rules for challan transactions are:

  • The Rs 199 Platform Service Fee is non-refundable once the payment transaction has been initiated, regardless of the outcome with the traffic authority.
  • The challan amount (the government fine itself) is refunded to your original payment method within 7–10 working days if the payment was debited but not settled with the government portal, or if the challan was already paid before the transaction.
  • To claim a challan amount refund, email contact@gaadiinfo.com within 48 hours with your transaction ID, vehicle number and challan number.

Before paying a challan via Challan Search, the full fee breakdown is shown in the Order Summary, as described in the Terms of Use.

Service History Reports

Car service history reports are digital products delivered electronically. Once a report has been generated and delivered, it is non-refundable. If a report cannot be generated because data is unavailable for your vehicle, a full refund is processed within 7 working days.

Accessories

For physical products from the accessories store: cancellation requests must be made within 24 hours of ordering, and unshipped orders are cancelled immediately. Returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery for unused, undamaged products, with refunds processed within 7–10 working days after the return is received. Shipping charges are non-refundable.

Payment Gateway Failures and Subscriptions

If a transaction fails but the amount is debited, the payment gateway auto-refunds it within 5–7 working days; contact support with the transaction ID if it does not arrive. Any subscription services can be cancelled anytime from account settings, taking effect at the end of the current billing period with no prorated refunds.

How to Request a Refund

Email contact@gaadiinfo.com with your order ID, transaction details and reason. Requests are reviewed within 48 hours, and approved refunds reach your original payment method within 7–10 working days. Non-refundable items include the Rs 199 service fee once a transaction is initiated, delivered digital reports, fully utilised services, products returned after 7 days or damaged, and bank or gateway charges. For anything unclear, reach the team via Contact Us.
