These are the terms on which Harsiddhi Services (GujaratGazette.com) provides its Gujarat Gazette service. The same document is sent to you with your quote, before you pay. Clause 1 — our written guarantee — comes first because it matters most.
Effective: 7 October 2026 · Applies to quotes and invoices issued on or after this date.
If your published Gujarat Gazette is not delivered to you within the guarantee window below, Harsiddhi Services will refund 100% of the amount paid under your invoice, with no deduction of any kind, and will still deliver your Gazette when published, at no further service charge.
Working days. The window counts only days on which the Gazette Department, Rajkot is open. Not counted: all Sundays; the 2nd and 4th Saturdays; and every public holiday declared by the Government of Gujarat for its offices, including holidays declared at short notice. The 1st, 3rd and 5th Saturdays and optional holidays are working days. Example: a 30-day month with 4 Sundays, the 2nd and 4th Saturdays and 2 public holidays has 30 − 4 − 2 − 2 = 22 working days; more holidays mean fewer working days, and vice versa.
When the window starts. When BOTH full payment is received AND your application number is generated; Day 1 is the next working day. We generate it within 48 hours of receiving payment and complete documents; if we take longer, Day 1 is the first working day after the 48th hour.
Your end date in writing. With your application number, we confirm in writing the exact date your window ends, based on the Government of Gujarat holiday list. If an extra holiday is later declared, the date moves accordingly and we inform you in writing.
Days added. Working days on which the case is waiting for you (your documents, draft approval, newspaper-advertisement approval, or a clarification we asked for) are added to the window. We tell you in writing when each wait starts and ends.
Department queries sent to you. If the Gazette Department sends a query or request for additional information directly to you (letter, email, SMS or portal), you must forward it to us via clause 12 within 2 working days of receiving it. Not counted in your window: (a) working days from the date the query reached you until you forward it to us; and (b) working days from our request for any information or document needed to answer it until you provide it. We confirm the days added and your new end date in writing.
Days paused. The window pauses for unscheduled events outside everyone’s control: strikes, bandhs, natural events, unscheduled closure of the Government Press / Gazette Department, or a Government portal outage of more than one working day. We notify you in writing when a pause starts and ends.
“100%” means the entire invoice amount. Government fee, e-stamp, notary, drafting and filing charges spent on your case are borne entirely by us and never deducted from your refund. Only an amount you paid directly to a newspaper cannot be refunded by us.
How the refund is paid. To your original payment method, within 24 hours of your window expiring, with no excuse, partial refund or deduction. We send you the transaction reference; bank credit time is outside our control. If the original method cannot receive a refund, you may nominate a bank account in the same name, and the 24 hours run from when you give us those details.
Objections. If the Department raises an objection, sends a query or returns the application, we prepare the reply and re-file at our cost. The window continues (subject to “Department queries” above); it is not reset.
Late publication. A refund does not cancel your case. We deliver the Gazette when published, exactly as if on time.
Only where the application fails because of inaccurate, incomplete, false or undisclosed information supplied by you, such as: an undisclosed spelling, name-sequence or date-of-birth variation across your documents; an earlier Gazette application, rejection or publication for the same change not disclosed before filing; a forged or altered document; a change prohibited by law or court order; or information changed after you approved the final draft.
Document review and mismatch check; drafting of the affidavit and Gazette application; e-stamp and notarisation; newspaper-advertisement text (where required); filing, Government fee payment and follow-up with the Gazette Department; handling of Department queries at our cost (your reply delays are covered in clause 1); delivery of the published Gazette (clause 9); written status updates at every stage.
Not included unless stated on the invoice: the newspaper’s advertisement charges; courier outside Vadodara; updating PAN, Aadhaar, passport, bank or other records; a second Gazette for a different change; translation or apostille.
Courier of printed copies: courier to any address within Gujarat is included in our fee and is stated on your invoice. For an address outside Gujarat, the courier charge is borne by you at actual cost, and we tell you the amount in writing before dispatch.
Stage timings are indicative; only the clause 1 window is binding.
The accuracy, authenticity and completeness of your information and documents remain your responsibility. Submit the documents on our written list promptly and in full. Nothing is filed until you approve the draft in writing; by approving it you confirm every name, spelling, date and address is exactly as you want it published. If we notice a mismatch we tell you in writing; if you instruct us to proceed anyway, clause 2 applies. Tell us before filing if you have ever applied for, been refused, or obtained a Gazette for the same change in any State.
Before work begins. If you withdraw before drafting of your affidavit has begun, the amount paid is refunded within 7 working days, less any gateway charge deducted from us.
After work begins. Once drafting of your affidavit has begun, the amount you have paid — the ₹1,000 advance or the full fee — is not refunded in any scenario: whether you decide not to continue, stop responding, or do not pay the balance. Withdrawal ends our service and the clause 1 guarantee from that day.
The only refund after work begins. If you have paid the full amount and your published Gazette is not delivered within the clause 1 window, the clause 1 refund (100% of the invoice) is due and is paid — including where you withdraw after that window has already expired.
Holds. A request to hold the case is not a cancellation; the window is extended by the working days of the hold.
Payment is made in two parts: a ₹1,000 advance once your documents are checked, which lets us begin drafting; and the balance before we pay the Government fee and file your application. The full amount must therefore be paid before filing. If the balance is not paid, your application is not filed and our work stops there (clause 6 applies to the amount already paid). The clause 1 window is counted only after full payment.
The invoice shows our service charge and, separately where applicable, Government fee, e-stamp and notary charges at cost. GST is charged on our service charge at the applicable rate (GSTIN 24ETLPP2031J1ZM). Any refund is issued with a credit note reversing the GST on the refunded amount. Pay only through the methods on the invoice.
Anything sent via the channels in clause 12 counts as “in writing”. We update you at each stage, including your end date and every wait or pause. Please reply to our requests within 7 days. If we hear nothing for 30 days after a written reminder, the case is on hold at your request (clause 6), not cancelled, and resumes when you reply.
We deliver the published Gazette as a PDF of the official page(s) by email and WhatsApp within 2 working days of publication; a physical copy, where issued, is handed over at our office or couriered. “Delivered” means the day the PDF is sent or the physical copy is handed to you or the courier, whichever is earlier. Report errors within 7 days. Errors caused by us are corrected and re-published at our cost; errors matching your approved draft are corrected at Government cost plus a reduced service charge quoted in writing first.
Your details are used only for your application and shared only with the Gazette Department, notary, e-stamp vendor and newspaper, as each step requires. We retain your file for 3 years after delivery; you may request earlier deletion in writing once the case is closed. We never sell your details. See also our Privacy Policy.
Beyond the clause 1 refund and clause 9 corrections, our liability is limited to the amount paid under your invoice, and we are not liable for indirect loss (such as delay in updating bank, PAN or passport records), except loss caused by our fraud or gross negligence.
