Section 01
Overview
Pick My Advisor (PMA) charges PMA service fees for digital tools and introductions — not government fees. Paying a PMA fee does not buy faster official action and does not guarantee resolution of a civic issue.

PMA vs government fees
Section 02
Fee structure
Current PMA service fees:
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Raise an issue (PMA service fee) | ₹1 |
| Legal-notice guidance pathway | ₹99 |
| Professional Advisor guidance request | ₹99 |
Payments are processed securely via Razorpay. A digital receipt is emailed to your registered email address after a successful payment. You are charged only when the complaint or request is actually created.
Section 03
When fees are non-refundable
Non-refundable once initiated
Fees are non-refundable once the service has been initiated, including when:
- A civic complaint has been created and routed (₹1) — except a PMA technical error
- A ₹99 guidance request has connected you with a professional
- Any digital service delivery has started
Outcomes of government processes, advisor consultations, or legal notices are outside PMA's control and do not create a refund entitlement by themselves.
Section 04
Cancellations
You may cancel before a paid service is initiated:
- If payment failed or was not completed, nothing is charged — no cancellation is needed.
- If you paid but the service has not started (for example, booking not yet confirmed), email legal@pickmyadvisor.in with your payment receipt and request cancellation promptly.
- Advisor consultations: once confirmed with the professional, cancellation and rescheduling follow that professional’s terms; PMA may assist with coordination but cannot guarantee a refund from the advisor.
Section 05
Exceptions & duplicate charges
We may review refund requests in limited cases, such as:
- Payment succeeds but no complaint or request is created — auto refund or credit
- A duplicate payment for the same complaint or request
- ₹99 request — PMA cannot connect you with a suitable professional
- A PMA technical error after routing
- A charge made in error by PMA systems
Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method through Razorpay and may take several business days depending on your bank.
