Refund & Cancellation Policy
Last updated: October 27, 2026
This Refund & Cancellation Policy ("Policy") applies to all payments made to Emrald Medical Research Private Limited (CIN: , GSTIN: ) through the website https://emraldpetscan.com/, whether via the PhonePe Payment Gateway or any other mode offered by us. Please read this Policy carefully before making a payment.
1. Nature of Our Services
We provide medical diagnostic and therapeutic services including PET CT Scan, Iodine-131 Therapy, Lu-177 DOTATATE Therapy and related nuclear-medicine procedures. Many of these services:
- require the ordering and delivery of patient-specific radio-pharmaceuticals with a limited shelf life;
- require the reservation of specialised equipment, trained technologists, and physician time;
- cannot be resold or reused if you do not attend your appointment.
Our cancellation and refund terms reflect these operational realities.
2. Cancellation by the Patient
You may request cancellation by calling us on +91 7796100800 or emailing info@emraldpetscan.com with your booking reference number, name, and registered mobile number.
| When you cancel | Refund you receive |
|---|---|
| More than 48 hours before the appointment | 100% refund of the amount paid, less any non-refundable payment-gateway charges actually deducted by PhonePe/the issuing bank. |
| 24 – 48 hours before the appointment | 75% refund of the amount paid. |
| Less than 24 hours before the appointment, OR no-show | No refund — radio-pharmaceuticals and slot-blocking costs cannot be recovered at this stage. |
| Services already rendered (e.g. scan completed) | No refund. |
Note: For certain therapies (particularly Iodine-131 high-dose and Lu-177 DOTATATE) the isotope is ordered patient-specifically several days in advance. The non-refundable component for these services may be higher and will be disclosed to you in writing at the time of booking.
3. Cancellation or Rescheduling by the Company
We may need to cancel or reschedule an appointment due to equipment downtime, isotope-delivery delays, medical emergencies, or reasons of force majeure. In such cases:
- We will contact you at the earliest opportunity to offer a rescheduled slot at no additional charge.
- If you do not wish to reschedule, you are entitled to a 100% refund of the amount paid.
4. Failed Transactions & Double Charges
If your bank account is debited but:
- the booking does not appear in your account, or
- you receive a "Payment Failed" message, or
- you were charged twice for the same booking,
please do not attempt another payment. Email us at info@emraldpetscan.com with a screenshot of the debit and the transaction reference. In most cases, PhonePe and your bank automatically reverse the amount within 5–7 working days. If that does not happen, we will raise a formal dispute with PhonePe on your behalf.
5. Refund Process & Timelines
- Approved refunds are processed to the original payment instrument only. We do not refund to a different card, UPI ID, or bank account.
- Once we initiate a refund, the refund reference number (RRN) is shared with you by email/SMS.
- Refunds typically reflect in your account within:
- UPI: 1–3 working days
- Debit card: 3–5 working days
- Credit card: 5–7 working days
- Net banking: 3–5 working days
- Payment-gateway fees (if charged separately on your invoice) and any third-party bank charges actually incurred may be deducted from the refund.
- GST, where applicable, will be reversed proportionately in accordance with applicable GST law.
6. Non-Refundable Items
The following are not refundable under any circumstances:
