Users are responsible for verifying that payment has been successfully completed. If a payment is debited from a bank account or payment card but confirmation is not received from IIA Sri Lanka, the user should promptly contact the Institute and provide supporting payment evidence for investigation.

Any refund arising from duplicate or erroneous payments shall be processed in accordance with the Institute’s Refund Policy after verification.
