Refunds and cancellations

All payments to the PBEL Malayalees Welfare Association (PMWA) are collected in Indian Rupees (INR) through a regulated payment gateway. Prices shown on the website are the final payable amounts and include any applicable taxes unless stated otherwise.

Onam Sadhya and event tickets

Tickets may be cancelled up to seven (7) days before the event date for a full refund. Cancellations between seven days and forty-eight (48) hours before the event are eligible for a 50% refund, because provisions are ordered in advance. No refund is possible within forty-eight hours of the event or after check-in.

Membership

Membership contributions are non-refundable once the membership year has begun. Duplicate or accidental payments are refunded in full.

Sponsorship and advertisements

Sponsorship amounts are refundable only if PMWA is unable to deliver the agreed entitlements, or if the event is cancelled without a replacement date. Once branding has been published or printed, the amount is non-refundable.

Contributions and donations

Voluntary contributions are non-refundable except in the case of a duplicate or clearly erroneous transaction reported within seven days.

Failed and duplicate payments

If an amount is debited but no ticket or receipt is issued, it is either auto-reversed by your bank within 5–7 working days or refunded by PMWA after verification. Please do not pay again — write to us with the payment reference shown on your payment status page.

How refunds are made

Approved refunds are processed back to the original payment method only, within 7 working days of approval. Bank settlement typically takes a further 3–5 working days. Refunds are approved by the PMWA treasurer or the super administrator.

Grievances

For any payment, refund or service concern, write to pbelmalayalees@gmail.com. We acknowledge within 2 working days and aim to resolve within 10 working days. PMWA, PBEL City, Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
