Processing fee Policy

Lunaris Legal Forum is committed to maintaining a structured, credible, and academically rigorous platform for legal discourse. To support the sustainability and operational functioning of the Forum, a nominal processing fee of ₹250 is applicable.

When is the Fee Charged?
The processing fee is charged only after a manuscript has been formally accepted for publication following editorial review.
No fee is required at the time of submission. Submission of a manuscript does not in any manner obligate payment unless and until a formal acceptance decision is communicated.
Once a decision of acceptance is made, an official communication will be sent to the author’s registered email address. The email will contain confirmation of acceptance along with detailed instructions for remitting the processing fee.

Purpose of the Processing Fee
The fee is collected solely to sustain the academic and administrative functioning of the Forum, including:
Editorial review and manuscript assessment
Citation and formatting compliance checks
Website maintenance and digital hosting
Publication formatting and presentation

The processing fee enables us to maintain quality standards and continue providing a structured and credible platform for legal scholarship.

Payment Instructions
Authors are required to remit the processing fee only after receiving the official acceptance communication. Payment details will be shared in the acceptance email. Confirmation of payment (Transaction ID / Reference Number) must be submitted as instructed.

Non-Refund Policy
The processing fee is non-refundable in all circumstances, including but not limited to voluntary withdrawal of the manuscript after acceptance, author-requested removal post-publication, or discovery of policy violations.

The processing fee is administrative in nature and does not influence editorial decisions. Acceptance is determined solely on the merits of the submission.
