How hard is it to cancel The Hindu?

The Hindu (operated by Kasturi and Sons Ltd) digital/All Access subscriptions auto-renew at the selected duration unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. The active subscription period itself cannot be cancelled mid-term; subscribers instead disable auto-renewal. For app-store purchases (Apple/Google) auto-renewal is managed through the store account settings; for direct subscriptions subscribers manage billing in their account or contact support ([email protected] / [email protected]). Already-charged periods are generally non-refundable; turning off auto-renew prevents future charges while access runs to term end.

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights, scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
