The payment and charges for any time spent in phone / video call, document reviews, judgment search, WhatsApp message replies etc is as follows:
- Currently, the charges for consultation are Rs 1,250/hr. Only the actual time spent in phone discussion / any other work as above will be charged.
- You make an initial deposit of Rs 3,000 or more (or equivalent from another currency). Amount deposited will be debited in future as per consultation rate/hr at time of deposit.
- Most commonly, people take multiple consultations over phone or email as the cases progress. When the consultations come to an end, any excess balance will be refunded upon your request and no more consultations will be possible after that. If however any dues are pending, then you undertake to pay them up. Note: for refund if any, Rs 200 is processing charge if you want it via NEFT. However no charges for refund to your UPI id.
- Rs 1,500 is minimum amount of consultation charges, so you can ensure to use equivalent consultation time at the least. If equivalent consultation time is not used, still Rs 1,500 is payable at a minimum and balance after deducting Rs 1,500 can be refunded.
- Time details of phone discussions etc and invoices will be maintained and sent via emails. You can also view these in your private dashboard at zoho website.
- As your currently allotted time is exhausted, you can pay more in tranches of Rs 3,000 or more. Please send amounts only for Rs 3,000 or multiples thereafter of 1,000 e.g. 4,000 5,000 6,000 and so on.
- Some people like to send small amounts like Rs 500 multiple times instead of Rs 3,000. They may not be able to book appointment thereafter and they will only have to option to get refund if any balance is there.
UPI / Bank Details
Note: You must mention name of person taking consultation in the payment description. If name is missing, the payment won’t be reflected and further appointment bookings may get delayed.
1) UPI: Fastest way (which works 24 hours and is instantaneous) would be to transfer using UPI(Unified Payment Interface) to any one of these VPA (virtual payment address) from any UPI supporting App, or Scan any one of the QR Codes below : (i) videv@icici in ICICI Bank (ii) videv@upi in BHIM App (QR Code below) or (iv) videv@airtel in Airtel payments bank. (confirm Verified Name as: Vivek Deveshwar)
Note: To avoid risk of sending payment to wrong VPA, you can confirm that the payee/beneficiary name is displayed as Vivek Deveshwar on your App. Using QR Codes given below is also convenient since it will enter the right VPA automatically after scan.
Any UPI App should work with any UPI VPA given above or QR Codes given below (as an exception I have seen PhonePe app doesn’t scan my Paytm QR Code!), though I have mentioned all options so one could use one’s preferred app, and then refer to transaction history in the app to get the details of previous payments made easily.
QR Code created in BHIM App: You could scan below QR code and pay to videv@upi
