Billing & service delivery

The Balanced News Premium is a digital subscription. Access is activated immediately upon successful payment and is delivered electronically through your account at thebalanced.news and the official mobile apps.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. Prices are in Indian Rupees (INR) and inclusive of applicable taxes where required.

Cancellation

You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings or by emailing [email protected].

Cancellation stops the next renewal. Your existing access continues uninterrupted until the end of the period you have already paid for. You will not be charged again after cancellation.

Refund policy

All subscription payments to The Balanced News are final and non-refundable.

Because Premium is a digital service activated immediately on payment, we do not offer refunds — in part or in full — for the monthly or annual plan, including for unused time, partial usage, a change of mind, or any other reason. If you cancel, your access continues until the end of the billing period you have paid for (see Cancellation above).

The single exception: if you are charged in error — for example a duplicate charge for the same period, or a charge after you have cancelled — email [email protected] within 7 days of the charge with the transaction reference. We will investigate and reverse any charge that was made in error, in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

By completing payment for a subscription you confirm that you have read this refund policy and consent to it as a condition of purchase.
