Payment and Transaction Security Policy

1. Scope

This Payment and Transaction Security Policy applies to all online and offline payments made in connection with PSYDERMCON 2026, including delegate registration, sponsorship, stall booking, branding, advertising, conference kit sponsorship, lunch sponsorship, gala dinner sponsorship, and any other approved conference-related payment.

2. Accepted Payment Modes

The Organizing Committee may accept payments through approved payment gateway, debit/credit card, net banking, UPI, QR code, NEFT/RTGS, direct bank transfer, cheque/DD, or other modes approved and communicated officially.

3. Secure Payment Processing

Online payment credentials such as card number, CVV, UPI PIN, banking password, OTP, and other sensitive authentication details are processed by the payment gateway/bank. The conference website does not request or store these sensitive payment credentials.

4. Payment Confirmation

A payment shall be considered successful only when the transaction is authorized by the payment gateway/bank and confirmed or reconciled by the Organizing Committee or authorized event partner. A pending or failed transaction does not confirm registration or sponsorship.

5. User Safety Obligations

Ensure that payments are made only through official links, official QR code, verified bank details, or approved payment gateway page.

Do not share OTP, CVV, UPI PIN, card PIN, net banking password, or other sensitive information with anyone claiming to represent the conference.

Verify transaction amount, recipient name, and payment purpose before authorizing payment.

Keep payment receipt, transaction ID, and confirmation email for future reference.

6. Failed, Pending, or Duplicate Payments

If a transaction fails, remains pending, or is debited more than once, the payer should contact the official email with transaction details. Resolution depends on confirmation from the payment gateway/bank and may take standard banking timelines. Duplicate payments may be reversed after verification as described in the Refund Policy.

7. Charges and Taxes

GST, bank charges, gateway charges, convenience fees, transaction charges, or other statutory/processing charges may be additional and shall be borne by the payer unless otherwise stated.

8. Fraud Prevention

The Organizing Committee may verify payments, reject suspicious transactions, cancel registrations, withhold badges/benefits, or request additional proof if fraud, chargeback misuse, incorrect payment, unauthorized payment, or suspicious activity is detected.

9. Receipts and Invoices

Receipts, invoices, or acknowledgements may be issued after payment verification and receipt of required billing information. Sponsorship invoices may require GSTIN, company name, billing address, and authorized contact details.
