Refund on Subscription Plan and its effect wrt tax laws
25-Dec-2023 (In Startup Law)
I have a website for providing study material for IIT-JEE and other engineering exams. I want to know whether I can use the refund plan on my subscriptions. I want to introduce a scheme that whoever will be unable to crack the exam will get 100% refund on the fees. Will the scheme violate any tax laws?
No thats the invitation to offer to the students that those who are unable to crack the exam get the fee refund...
It is a type of marketing policy to grab more and more students but in this case you get loss my dear

Is an invitation to negotiate the same as an offer?
A negotiation invitation is not an actual offer. A negotiation invitation is simply a discussion, or an invitation from one party to another to make an offer or negotiate.
What is an invitation to offer in simple words?
A request for proposals, or a request for bids, is an invitation by one party to another to submit a proposal to enter into a contractual agreement. This is the first step to forming a contract. It does not constitute an offer which can be accepted in order to create a legally binding contract.
What is an example of an offer and invitation to treat?
Invitations to treat are often displayed items, like those in a store window, ads, or catalogs. In a shop, goods on display are invitations to treats. The shopkeeper invites the customer to offer the goods. 24 Aug 2023
Is tender an offer or invitation to offer?
The term "tender" refers to a request for bids on a particular project. Tendering is the process by which governments and financial institutions solicit bids on large projects. These bids must be submitted in a limited time frame. The word "tender" can also be used to describe the acceptance of an official offer, like a takeover bid.
Dear Client,
Tax is a charge on your "earnings" and therefore anything that you have not earned, refunded, spent as expenses in business, etc. will get deducted. Moreover, in your books of accounts, when you return the money, an entry reflecting return of such money will come, and the tax will be calculated on the figure so derived.
So any amount so returned/ refunded will not be a part of your turnover and hence not taxable.

Hi..
As I understand from your brief, you run a website providing study material for IIT-JEE and other engineering exams and you want to introduce a refund scheme such that whoever is not able to crack the exam will be eligible to a 100% refund of the payment.
Please note, that providing a refund will not violate any tax liability/law. Providing refund would in fact absolve you from your tax liability with respect to such initial payment made by the student which is eventually refunded. Such a scheme is used across industry sectors and is thus legally sound.
The only responsibility is that of your accounts personnel/CA to capture the refund properly in the account books and tax papers so as to protect you from tax liability over such an amount.
Hope the above is helpful.
