This Refund and Cancellation Policy ("Policy") governs all refund, cancellation, and dispute resolution procedures for services offered by K2VS Finance and Investments Private Limited ("Company", "we", "our", or "us") through the Sahi Savings platform ("App") and website (sahisavings.com).
This Policy is compliant with applicable RBI guidelines on payment systems, SEBI regulations on securities transactions, IRDAI regulations on insurance premiums, and the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Please read this Policy carefully before transacting on the platform.
Personal Data that you provide when requesting a cancellation, refund or dispute resolution is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act").
2. Categories of Transactions
Different types of transactions on the Sahi Savings platform are governed by different rules:
A. Platform Subscription / Premium Features: Paid subscriptions for premium tools and features (e.g., advanced tax planning, credit monitoring).
B. Mutual Fund Transactions: Purchase (lump sum / SIP), redemption, and switch transactions facilitated through BSE (Member Code: 54418) as an AMFI-registered distributor (ARN - 190825).
C. Insurance Premium Payments: Life and general insurance premium payments facilitated through IRDAI-regulated channels.
D. Bill Payments & Utility Payments: One-time or recurring payments processed through RBI-authorised payment aggregators.

3. Platform Subscription — Cancellation & Refund
Cancellation: You may cancel your premium subscription at any time through the in-app settings or by contacting support@sahisavings.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle. You will retain access to premium features until the end of the paid period.
Refund Eligibility:
- Subscriptions cancelled within 7 days of the first purchase (cooling-off period) are eligible for a full refund if no premium features have been substantially used.
- Renewals cancelled after the renewal date are not eligible for a refund for the renewed period.
- Partial refunds are not provided for mid-cycle cancellations.
Refund Timeline: Approved refunds will be credited to the original payment method within 5–7 business days, in compliance with RBI guidelines on payment system refunds.
4. Mutual Fund Transactions
Mutual fund transactions are governed by SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 and the terms of the respective Asset Management Companies (AMCs). The following rules apply:
Redemptions: You may redeem your mutual fund units at applicable NAV as per the fund's terms. Redemption proceeds are credited to your registered bank account within T+3 business days (equity funds) or T+2 business days (debt funds / liquid funds) as per SEBI norms.
SIP Cancellation: Standing Instructions (SIPs) may be cancelled at any time through the App. Cancellation requests must be submitted at least 7 business days before the next SIP debit date to ensure the next instalment is stopped.
Transaction Reversal: Once a mutual fund purchase order is placed and confirmed at cut-off time, it cannot be reversed or cancelled. If a technical error results in an incorrect transaction, contact us immediately at support@sahisavings.com. Investigation and remediation will be completed within 7 business days.
Note: Sahi Savings acts as a distributor and is not responsible for NAV changes, fund performance, or AMC-level rejections. Exit loads, if applicable, are as per the respective fund's SID/KIM.
6. Bill Payments & Utility Payments
Successful Payments: Once a bill payment is successfully processed and confirmed by the biller, it cannot be reversed. The transaction is considered final and non-refundable.

Disputed Transactions: If you notice an unauthorised or erroneous bill payment, report it immediately at support@sahisavings.com with your transaction ID. Investigation will be completed within 7 working days.

In the event of any transaction failure where funds are debited from your account:
- We will initiate automatic refund within T+5 business days from the date of transaction failure, in compliance with RBI's framework for failed transactions.
- You will receive a notification via SMS and email once the refund is initiated.
