Reference: https://www.registry.in/system/files/Terms_and_Conditions_for_Registrants.pdf

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR REGISTRANTS/Domain Holder

All registrants of .IN Domain names will be bound by the following terms and conditions, which may be amended by .IN Registry from time to time. If we find any single rule broken then domain will be suspended.

Condition On Domains

    • Sometimes domain price varies according to internal system policy

    • If you want to take domain from another Registrar (your choice), then contact our support team at [email protected] before making payment. We will register domain at competitive price on your behalf

    • The above pricing is not valid on premium domains. (Premium domains are short domains, often made up of just one word or 3-5 letters)

    • Once you register a domain or transfer it to another registrar, the domain will be locked for 60 days. During this period the domain cannot be transferred

    • Once you register a domain or transfer it to DotPapa, it cannot be replaced and you cannot request a refund for any domain service. Before making any domain payment, think twice about the domain name

    • DNS Management: Yes we provide DNS manager faster and free

    • Transfer Out Domain: Once your domain (all extension) is expired then we are unable to give you domain transfer out code / epp code / auth code / secret code. You cannot request us domain transfer code, if your domain is expired. If you want to transfer out your domain then you must need to submit request for epp code before 3 days of expiry date

    • Domain Renewal: If you have renewed domain with us then you cannot demand transfer out code of domain within 60 days of renewal. You have to wait 60 days

    • Domain Delete: ₹250 CHARGE FOR DELETE, if you request us to delete domain then you cannot recover it because we cannot undo domain delete request

🔐 Domain Renewal & Expiry Policy

    • Clients are solely responsible for renewing their domains before the expiry date. We send automated reminders via email as a courtesy, but it is the client’s duty to track domain renewal timelines

    • If the renewal is not completed before expiry, the domain may enter a grace period (typically up to 30 days), followed by a redemption period (30–45 days), after which it may be permanently deleted or registered by a third party

    • In rare cases, due to high system load or unexpected technical glitches, a domain renewal may fail even after payment is made. In such scenarios, our team manually verifies WHOIS records and reaches out to the client

    • If a domain is lost due to expiry or system failure despite timely payment, we offer the client one of the following remedies:
        • A full refund of the renewal amount, or

        • A similar available domain with up to 2 years of free registration, based on availability and client approval

    • Clients are strongly advised to enable auto-renewal for critical domains and renew at least 15 days before expiry to avoid last-minute issues

    • We request clients to verify their website within 7 to 15 days of renewal to confirm that the domain is functioning correctly

    • Once a domain is deleted and registered by another party, we cannot guarantee its recovery under any circumstances

Important Notice – Domain Renewal Confirmation Clause

After renewing your domain, it is strictly advised to verify the status of your domain by visiting your website and/or performing a WHOIS lookup within 7 to 15 days from the renewal date.

In rare technical cases, domain renewal may fail due to server load, registry sync delays, or system errors — even if payment has been successfully made. If the renewal failure is not identified and reported within this window, the domain may:

    • Enter Redemption Period, requiring high recovery charges

    • Be deleted and made available for public registration

    • Be purchased by another party, or

    • Be relisted as a premium domain at a higher cost

In such scenarios, DotPapa shall not be held responsible for any loss, financial damage, or missed opportunities. It is the sole responsibility of the domain owner/client to verify the renewal status and report any issues in a timely manner.

✅ Client Action Required: Please check your domain’s live status or website functionality within 7 to 15 days of renewal. If your site is not working or domain is not showing as active, immediately contact DotPapa support to investigate.

TLDs’ Grace Periods or Redemption Fee

When a domain expires, your website and mail service will stop functioning, and no changes can be made to the domain. As per the .in registry (government of india domains) means indian extension after the expiry is put on grace period that means after expiry must have to pay grace fees because domain was going on redemption stage. This grace period may apply after 1 day expiry.

However, for generic TLDs (.com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, etc.), you have a period of about 15 days (approximately, not accurate sometimes more or less) at DotPapa after the actual expiration date during which you can still renew the domain at additional rate.

If you do not renew the domain within this grace period, it enters a redemption stage for 30 days (sometimes more) at the Registry. At this stage, the domain may be auctioned off by the upstream vendors.

As an owner, you still have an option to return the domain at this stage (if it’s not auctioned off) at a redemption fee plus its regular renewal cost. If the domain is not recovered from redemption, it enters a PendingDelete stage at the Registry for 5 days. On the 6th day, the domain should be released to the public for re-registration.

Normally, generic TLDs get released approximately in 70-80 days (in rare cases, up to 120 days) after the expiration date if not returned from redemption and if not auctioned off.

Please note that once the domain has been released, the registration is carried out on a first come, first served basis.

Terms & Conditions – Updated Clause

Fraudulent Usage & Immediate Termination

By using our services, you agree that domains registered through us must not be used for fraudulent, misleading, or illegal purposes. Any domain found to be violating this policy, including but not limited to banking fraud, impersonation of registered businesses, phishing, spamming, or scams, will be immediately suspended or terminated without prior notice.

We reserve the right to take immediate action, including domain suspension, without any compensation or refund, if a domain is found engaging in abuse or violating our policies.

Registry or Government-Ordered Suspensions

If a domain is suspended or terminated due to actions taken by the domain registry, ICANN, or any government authority, we hold no responsibility for its recovery or reinstatement. In such cases, the customer is solely responsible for compliance with the necessary regulations and legal requirements.
