- In case of cash payments, you, shall receive the referral benefits, subject to TDS, in a split of first 50% within 7 working days from the date of full payment towards program fee made by the Referee and the rest 50% would be released within 7-10 working days post Referee’s batch commencement date or once upGrad receives the login list from the enrolled university.
- If the batch commencement date is the same as the date of full payment of program fee then the referral benefit will be paid out 100% to the Enrolled Referrer.

- If the Enrolled Referrer does not avail referral benefit by sharing PAN or bank details within 3 months from the date of Referee’s batch commencement, the referrer benefit will lapse and become void.
- Referee benefits are pre-applied at the time of fee payment except for programs from the following university - IIT- Delhi where the benefits are processed in the form of a cashback.
- Both the Referee and Referrer shall be eligible for any referral benefit, only if the Referral code is used at the time of sign-up or at the time of application submission with upGrad, before blocking the seats."

5) Fair Usage Requirements
- upGrad’s Referral Policy has been designed with a vision to make upskilling a lucrative and economical option for the friends and family members of our learner community. The Referrer must refrain from using his / her code publicly on social media platforms as this will be clear ineligibility for referral rewards.
- Referral invitation links with valid content about upGrad/upskilling posted on Social media will be considered towards referral benefit. However, the final eligibility decision lies with upGrad subjected to post successful verification.
- The Referral Code usage shall be evaluated on a case-to-case basis by upGrad and upGrad holds the power to block the Referral Code if any misuse is suspected, at the sole discretion of upGrad. The decision of upGrad will be final in this case.
- The Referrer must refrain from sharing his or her code with any employee at upGrad or any entity associated with the direct sale of any of upGrad’s Programs for the purpose of getting the Referral Code used by upGrad’s prospective learners who the Referrer has no connection with. In such cases, if found then there shall be a detailed evaluation for the same post in which all future payments shall be forfeited including the Referral Code.
- To validate fair usage, upGrad will conduct a call based verification process to understand the connection between the Referrer and Referee. Failure to do so shall result in forfeit of all payments related to the Referral Code used and blocking of the same.
- Source of Referee: There will be a check of the source of the Referral Code and of whether the Referrer used any marketing channel to share the Referral Code or if it was shared through the Referrer himself/herself. The misuse of the Referral Code through any social media channels will cause upGrad to block your Referral Code. Our Finance team may contact you for clarification.
- The Referral Code once entered by the Referee who has blocked the seat and has enrolled with upGrad, cannot be modified/changed.. (Please note:- If the Referral Code once entered by a friend is incorrect, the policy remains the same and the Referrer will not be entitled for any reward).
- Referral Reward payout will also be on the basis of the final code usage before application submission stage at upGrad or before payment made directly on the university website. ( For any clarification please feel free to email to referral@upgrad.com)
