Billing Procedure

affiliation terms are effective for one year. IRINN affiliates are to renew their affiliation every 12 months to keep the affiliation account open.

Renewal reminder

- An annual affiliation renewal reminder is emailed to all IRINN affiliates at around 30 days before the affiliation expiry date.

- Annual affiliation fee calculations are based on the total number of IP addresses held under your account on the anniversary of your IRINN affiliation.

Upon affiliation expiration

Renewal fee payment
Upon account expiration, the invoice for affiliation renewal, together with the payment instruction letter, is emailed to affiliates.

The affiliation fee is based on the account's Internet resource holdings as of the affiliation anniversary date

A hard copy of the invoice may also be obtained via MyIRINN under Administration > Billing history or upon request.

Payment guide
When paying affiliation fees: Please include the invoice number and affiliation account name in the payment details to avoid processing delays

To enable convenience and smooth transaction, payments to IRINN may be made to IRINN via various modes:

- Cheque or Demand drafts drawn in favour of "National Internet Exchange of India"

- Online Payments through Credit or Debit Card

All payments are due within 30 days of the affiliation expiry date, or upon receipt of the invoice. Failure to pay IRINN affiliation fees will result in suspension of services and a withdrawal of all resources previously allocated.

In case of cheque getting bounced or dishonored, a charge of Rs. 250/- would be levied.

How do I return Internet resources?
Your annual affiliation renewal fee is directly related to the amount of Internet number resources you hold on your affiliation anniversary date.

If you wish to return your resource holdings, please contact the IRINN Helpdesk as soon as possible and provide details of the resources that need to be returned

Please note that the resources must be returned to IRINN before your affiliation renewal date to be eligible for a revision of your renewal fee.
