Refund Policy
Last updated: October 2026
In short: the Performance Diagnostic is free, so there is nothing to refund. Coaching program fees are non-refundable once coaching has commenced. Before that, refund requests are considered case by case.
Overview
This Refund Policy applies to all services offered by Akash Avhad through akashavhad.com and its exam sites, for GMAT, CAT, SAT Math and GRE Math. Please read it carefully before enrolling in a program.
Free Performance Diagnostic
The Performance Diagnostic is free. No payment is taken, so no refund applies.
If you cannot attend, please cancel or reschedule using the link in your confirmation email, ideally at least 24 hours before the session, so the time can go to another student.
Coaching Programs
Before Coaching Commences
If you have paid a program fee but coaching has not yet commenced, meaning no coaching session has taken place since formal enrolment, please contact me directly. Refund requests at this stage are considered case by case.
After Coaching Commences
Once coaching has commenced, defined as the completion of the first coaching session after program enrolment, program fees already paid are non-refundable.
This is because significant preparation, diagnostic work, personal plan development and session recording are invested from the first session onward.
Instalment Payments
For programs paid in instalments, you are not obliged to pay future instalments if you choose to stop the program. Instalments already paid are non-refundable once coaching has commenced.
Program Discontinuation by Me
If I am unable to continue coaching because of circumstances on my end, such as illness, emergency or other unforeseen events, a pro-rated refund for unused prepaid sessions will be issued promptly.
Technical Issues
If a session cannot go ahead because of a technical issue on my end, including a Zoom failure, power outage or internet disruption, it will be rescheduled at no additional cost. If rescheduling is not possible, a credit equal to the session’s value will be applied to your program.
Technical issues on your end, including your own internet connection, device or software, do not qualify for a refund or session credit. Please test your equipment and connection before each session.
How to Request a Refund
Email me at mail@akashavhad.com with your name, program details and the reason for your request. I aim to respond to all refund requests within 2 business days. Approved refunds are processed through the original payment method and typically appear within 5 to 10 business days.
Changes to This Policy
I may update this Refund Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date. The policy in effect at the time of your purchase applies to that purchase.
