The Inability Fee — When You Don't Pay the Full Amount

If our companion visits the hospital and the hospital refuses to release the documents on policy grounds — for example, requiring the patient themselves or blood relatives only, or a court order — we don't charge the full amount. Only a flat ₹299 inability fee applies, and the remaining hourly balance is refunded.

We tell you the exact reason the hospital gave, so you know precisely what blocked the release and what your options are.

How Payment Works

  • Cash after the visit — you pay the companion directly when collection is done. No advance online payment, no card, no bank transfer.
  • OTP-verified billing — service start and end are OTP-confirmed so you control the billed duration.
  • Receipts for actuals — every courier/photocopy/hospital fee is receipted and shared on WhatsApp.
