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.
