Monthly Subscription Plans
Monthly plans are billed in advance at the start of each billing cycle. Because monthly subscribers benefit from maximum flexibility with no long-term commitment, monthly plan fees are non-refundable once charged.
If you cancel a monthly plan, your access continues until the end of the current billing period and no further charges are made from the next cycle onwards. We recommend cancelling at least 3 days before your renewal date.
All active payroll runs, payslips, and compliance filings completed during your subscription remain accessible for data export for 30 days post-cancellation.
Annual Subscription Plans
- Within 7 days of payment: You are eligible for a pro-rata refund for unused full months remaining in your annual term. A processing fee of ₹999 + GST applies.
- After 7 days of payment: Annual plan fees are non-refundable. You may continue using the Platform for the full contracted period.
- Mid-term downgrade: Downgrading does not entitle you to a refund of the difference. The lower tier applies from the next renewal cycle.
To initiate a refund within the 7-day window, email billing@hrpay.in with your account ID and reason for cancellation.
Free Trial & Trial Conversions
HRPay offers a 14-day free trial on all plans with no credit card required. No charges are incurred during the trial period.
If you convert your trial to a paid plan but decide within 48 hours of the first charge that HRPay is not right for you, you are entitled to a full refund with no questions asked. This grace period applies once per customer organisation and is not available for subsequent renewals.
Our trial is designed to give you full platform access before committing. Our onboarding team is available to help you get the most out of it.
Add-On Modules & Premium Features
Add-on modules (Expense Management, Advanced Analytics, Multi-Entity Payroll, API Access, etc.) are billed separately and are non-refundable once activated, as activation involves immediate access to premium features and configuration work.
Contact sales@hrpay.in for a pre-activation demo before committing to any module.
Billing Errors & Duplicate Charges
If you have been charged incorrectly — including duplicate transactions, incorrect plan amounts, or charges after cancellation — contact us immediately. All reported errors are investigated within 5 business days.
If a billing error is confirmed, a full refund of the erroneous amount will be issued to the original payment method.
To report a billing error, email billing@hrpay.in with your invoice number, transaction ID, and a brief description of the discrepancy.
