5. Online payment for HughesNet Global Education

HCIL provides through internet access, the facility to pay the fee installments for various interactive courses conducted on the nationwide interactive learning network
( HughesNet Global Education ). Following are the important points for the users to remember regarding the online payment facility :

1) User of this online payment system has to be either a registered student or a prospective student of some program on the HNGE platform. The registered student posses a student id issued by HNGE
2) The student needs to pay only through the credit card, which he has declared while registering for the program. This card no has a mapping with the student id entered while accessing the online payment facility. A different card no will result in failure to access the payment gateway
3) HCIL has a tie-up with ICICI bank for facilitation of this service and hence the transaction would be completed thru the ICICI payment gateway
4) Before qualifying to be taken to payment gateway, the student needs to get authenticated as a valid student thru a student authentication page on HCIL website
5) Student needs to pay the exact amount as required by HNGE, keeping in mind the late fees like transfer fee, rejoining fees so that the student id does not get blocked because of short payments
6) HCIL has opted for 3D secure system of VISA / MASTER credit cards and hence the student would be once more authenticated before the actual transaction takes place
7) The transaction charges as levied by the respective bank would be applicable as per the user agreement with the bank which has issued the credit card
8) Once the payment has been received by HNGE, the receipt of the payment would be available to the student thru the Student Management System, which is described in the student manual provided to the student during induction to the course
9) Up to date details of all student payments would be available on the student management system and the student can approach the center heads to know the status of their payments due.

 

6. Cancellation and Refund policy

For online payments, cancellation is not possible on the Internet. To cancel a fee payment, the student will have to submit the claim with HCIL in Gurgaon or write a mail to customercare@hughes.in The fee paid by the student will be refunded electronically (as credit to the relevant credit card / account used for the transaction) after deducting cancellation charges. Bank charges that are being levied by the Payment Gateways/Banks are not subject to refund in the event of cancellation of transaction by the student. The cancellation charge is determined by the HNGE’s rules for cancellation and is based on the time of cancellation and the status of the fee payment. The service charge is not refunded.
