Note on Pro-Rated Refunds: Any pro-rated refund for early departure is at the sole discretion of Shubharambh management. It is not an automatic entitlement and will be assessed based on the circumstances and stage of treatment.

04

Against Advice (AOR) Discharge — No Refund

Recovery requires commitment to the full programme. If a patient chooses to leave the facility against medical or clinical advice (AOR):

Why no refund for AOR? Our clinical team allocates beds, prepares individualised treatment plans, and commits daily resources from the moment of admission. AOR departure means these resources cannot be redirected to another patient who may be waiting. This policy is industry standard for residential rehabilitation facilities.

05

The following are non-refundable under all circumstances:

Important: Shubharambh does not issue cash refunds. All eligible refunds are processed exclusively to the original payment instrument — bank account, UPI, or card used at the time of payment.
