FAQ · pricing
- Is ₹249 a trial?
- No — it's a real one-time unlock for AY 2026-27. Refundable within 14 days if you haven't exported the CA-handoff PDF.
- Is this a subscription?
- No. You pay once per AY. Next AY is a separate ₹249 (or ₹499 AI Self / ₹799 Pro Family). No card on file.
- How do the in-AY upgrades work?
- You pay only the price delta: Self → AI Self ₹250. AI Self → Pro Family ₹300. Self → Pro Family (skipping AI Self) ₹550. Every upgrade resets a fresh 14 days refund window on the top-up amount.
- What's the refund policy?
- Refundable for 14 days from unlock or until you export the CA handoff packet PDF — whichever first. Click 'Request refund' in Settings · Billing.
- What does the AI Q&A actually answer?
- It's grounded in your confirmed documents and replies with citations. Examples: 'How much TDS did I pay this AY?' · 'Am I close to ₹1.5L on §80C?' · 'Did any AIS row not show up in 26AS?'. It declines open-ended planning / hypothetical advice — those route to a CA.
- How many PANs does Pro Family cover?
- Up to 6 PANs in one household — you + spouse + parents + children. One ₹799 unlock covers the whole bundle. AI quota (15 questions/day) is shared across the workspace, not per-PAN.
- What about storage?
- Free tier has a 200 MB cap. Every paid tier (Self / AI Self / Pro Family) gets 5 GB per workspace. If you cross the cap, new uploads are rejected until you delete or upgrade.
