RIDENOW WALLET
Promotional Balance Policy
This policy explains the nature, earning rules, permitted
usage, restrictions, advance-booking requirement, monthly
promotional recharge limits, expiry, cancellation
treatment and misuse provisions applicable to
Promotional Balance issued by RideNow.
Policy Version: PROMO-3.0
Effective Date:
12 Oct 2026
This Promotional Balance Policy forms part of the applicable
RideNow Terms of Service, Wallet Terms and promotional
programme conditions.
By accepting, receiving, earning or using Promotional Balance,
the account holder acknowledges and agrees to the applicable
conditions contained in this policy and the relevant
promotional offer.
1. Actual Wallet Balance and Promotional Balance
RideNow maintains a distinction between the customer's
Actual Wallet Balance and Promotional Balance.
These balances are not interchangeable and do not carry
the same rights or permitted uses.
Actual Wallet Balance
Actual Wallet Balance represents the customer's
applicable wallet funds and may be used toward
eligible RideNow services in accordance with the
applicable Wallet Terms and service conditions.
Promotional Balance
Promotional Balance is a promotional benefit issued
by RideNow and may be used only as a discount toward
eligible Domestic or International Holiday Packages,
subject to this policy.
Promotional Balance is NOT a general-purpose wallet
balance.
It cannot be used interchangeably with Actual Wallet
Balance for ordinary travel-service transactions.
2. Nature of Promotional Balance
Promotional Balance is promotional credit or a promotional
benefit granted by RideNow under an applicable promotional
offer, campaign, wallet recharge programme or other
promotional arrangement.
Promotional Balance is promotional credit only.
It is not cash, a bank deposit, a security deposit,
interest-bearing money, a transferable financial instrument
or an independently withdrawable monetary fund.
Promotional Balance is maintained separately from Actual
Wallet Balance and may be subject to eligibility,
validity, expiry, earning conditions, usage conditions
and other promotional restrictions.
3. Promotional Credit and Recharge Benefits
Promotional Balance may be awarded when a customer completes
a qualifying wallet recharge under an active RideNow
promotional programme.
Under the current recharge promotion, the following
promotional benefits apply:
|
Qualifying Recharge
|
Promotional Balance Earned
|
Condition
|
|
₹10,000 to ₹19,999
|
₹500
|
One qualifying recharge transaction
|
|
₹20,000 to ₹49,999
|
₹1,000
|
One qualifying recharge transaction
|
|
₹50,000 or more
|
₹3,000
|
One qualifying recharge transaction
|
Important:
Promotional rewards are calculated on the individual
qualifying recharge transaction and are not calculated by
combining multiple smaller recharge transactions.
For example, a customer making two qualifying ₹50,000
recharge transactions in the same month may receive a total
of ₹6,000 Promotional Balance under this programme,
subject to the monthly transaction limit and all other
applicable conditions.
4. Monthly Promotional Recharge Limit
After the applicable Welcome Recharge promotional benefit,
customers may receive promotional recharge benefits on a
maximum of 2 qualifying recharge transactions per
calendar month.
Monthly Limit
2
Maximum qualifying recharge transactions that may
generate Promotional Balance in a calendar month.
Maximum From ₹50k+ Slab
₹6,000
Maximum regular monthly Promotional Balance from
two separate ₹50,000+ qualifying recharge
transactions.
Welcome Benefit
Separate
The applicable Welcome Recharge promotional benefit
remains subject to its own offer conditions.
The monthly transaction limit is intended to prevent
unlimited promotional accumulation through repeated recharge
splitting or excessive promotional transactions.
The monthly limit applies to qualifying promotional recharge
transactions and does not convert Actual Wallet Balance into
Promotional Balance.
A customer cannot split a larger intended recharge into
multiple smaller transactions for the purpose of obtaining
a higher promotional benefit unless such transactions are
independently qualifying under the applicable promotional
offer.
5. Permitted Usage of Promotional Balance
Promotional Balance may be used
only as a discount against an eligible RideNow
Domestic or International Holiday Package,
subject to the package-value usage rule and the mandatory
30-day advance requirement.
Permitted:
Promotional Balance may be applied toward an eligible
Domestic Holiday Package or International Holiday Package,
subject to this policy.
Promotional Balance cannot be used for
-
Flight tickets or standalone flight bookings.
-
Bus tickets or standalone bus bookings.
-
Cab, taxi or other standalone transportation bookings.
-
Hotel-only or standalone hotel bookings.
-
Visa services or visa processing charges.
-
Travel insurance or similar standalone services.
-
Wallet recharge or addition to Actual Wallet Balance.
-
Cash withdrawal or cash equivalent.
-
Transfer to another customer or RideNow account.
-
Any other service for which Promotional Balance is not
expressly permitted by RideNow.
The availability of a service on the RideNow platform does
not automatically make that service eligible for
Promotional Balance usage.
5A. One Booking, One Promotional Benefit
A single Holiday Package booking may receive
only one promotional benefit from the
promotional benefits offered by RideNow for that booking.
The customer cannot combine an Agent Holiday Discount
Coupon with Promotional Balance on the same booking.
The applicable booking may receive either the eligible
Agent Holiday Discount Coupon benefit or the eligible
Promotional Balance benefit, but not both together.
Option 1 — Agent Holiday Offer
Up to ₹5,000 Discount
Where an eligible RideNow Agent Holiday Discount
Coupon is applied to the booking, the applicable
coupon discount is applied directly against the
Holiday Package payment amount, subject to the
coupon's own conditions.
OR
Option 2 — Promotional Balance
Wallet Promotional Benefit
Where Promotional Balance is used for an eligible
Holiday Package booking, the applicable Promotional
Balance usage rules under this policy shall apply.
Example:
If a customer uses an eligible ₹5,000 Agent Holiday Discount
Coupon on a Holiday Package, the same booking cannot also
use the customer's Promotional Balance.
Alternatively, the customer may choose to use eligible
Promotional Balance instead of the Agent Coupon, subject to
all applicable Promotional Balance conditions.
No double promotional benefit:
Applying, attempting to apply or technically combining both
benefits for the same booking is not permitted. The booking
system may reject, restrict or remove the conflicting
promotional benefit in accordance with the applicable
transaction rules.
6. Minimum 30-Day Advance Requirement
Promotional Balance may be used only for an eligible Domestic
or International Holiday Package where the scheduled
travel start date is at least 30 calendar days from
the date on which the Promotional Balance is applied toward
the booking.
Promotional Balance is NOT available for Holiday
Packages with fewer than 30 days remaining before the
travel start date.
Having Promotional Balance in the customer's account does
not by itself make a booking eligible.
Eligibility Examples
-
Travel starts after 45 days:
Promotional Balance may be eligible.
-
Travel starts after exactly 30 days:
Promotional Balance may be eligible.
-
Travel starts after 29 days:
Promotional Balance cannot be used.
-
Travel starts after 10 days:
Promotional Balance cannot be used.
-
Same-day or past travel:
Promotional Balance cannot be used.
Important:
The 30-day requirement is a mandatory booking eligibility
condition and is separate from the Promotional Balance
usage calculation.
7. Promotional Balance Usage Based on Holiday Package Value
Subject to the mandatory 30-day advance requirement,
the amount of Promotional Balance that may be used depends
on the applicable Holiday Package value.
Package Below ₹1,00,000
25%
Maximum usable Promotional Balance is 25% of the
customer's available Promotional Balance.
Package ₹1,00,000 or More
100%
The customer may use up to the full available
Promotional Balance.
Travel Advance
30 Days
Promotional Balance usage remains unavailable for
packages with fewer than 30 days until travel.
The key rule:
Holiday Packages below ₹1,00,000 use only 25% of the
customer's available Promotional Balance, while Holiday
Packages of ₹1,00,000 or above may use the full available
Promotional Balance, subject to all eligibility conditions.
Example 1 — Holiday Package Below ₹1,00,000
Holiday Package Value
₹60,000
Customer Promotional Balance
₹6,000
Maximum Promotional Usage
25% of ₹6,000 = ₹1,500
Customer Pays After Promo
₹58,500
Example 2 — Holiday Package of ₹1,00,000 or More
Holiday Package Value
₹1,20,000
Customer Promotional Balance
₹6,000
Maximum Promotional Usage
₹6,000
Customer Pays After Promo
₹1,14,000
Example 3 — Welcome + Two ₹50,000 Recharges
Welcome Promotional Benefit
₹5,000*
First ₹50,000+ Recharge
₹3,000
Second ₹50,000+ Recharge
₹3,000
Total Potential Promotional Balance
Up to ₹11,000*
Promotional Balance usage is based on the customer's
available Promotional Balance at the time of the booking.
Unused Promotional Balance does not automatically become
cash or Actual Wallet Balance.
8. Promotional Usage Calculation
The system determines the maximum permitted Promotional
Balance usage automatically at the time of booking.
Step 1 — Check Package Eligibility
Domestic / International Holiday Package
Step 2 — Check Travel Date
Minimum 30 days in advance
Step 3 — Check Package Value
Below ₹1L or ₹1L+
Step 4 — Calculate Eligible Promo
25% or 100% of available Promotional Balance
Step 5 — Apply Discount
Limited to eligible Promotional Balance
The booking system should calculate and validate the
Promotional Balance server-side at the time of payment.
A customer or browser-side value must not be sufficient
to override the permitted Promotional Balance amount.
9. Actual Wallet Balance for Other Services
Where a customer uses RideNow services such as flights,
buses, cabs, hotel bookings, visa services or other eligible
travel services, the applicable payment shall be made using
the customer's Actual Wallet Balance or another payment
method permitted for that service.
Promotional Balance does not replace or reduce the amount
payable for services that are not eligible for Promotional
Balance usage.
For example, if a customer has:
-
Actual Wallet Balance: ₹10,000
-
Promotional Balance: ₹5,000
and purchases a ₹7,000 flight ticket, the applicable
₹7,000 payment will be taken from the Actual Wallet Balance,
subject to the applicable service and wallet rules.
The ₹5,000 Promotional Balance will remain available for
eligible Holiday Package usage, subject to its applicable
conditions and expiry.
10. No Withdrawal, Encashment or Conversion
Promotional Balance cannot be withdrawn, encashed or
converted into Actual Wallet Balance by the customer.
-
It cannot be transferred to a bank account.
-
It cannot be transferred to UPI, card or another
external payment instrument.
-
It cannot be converted into cash.
-
It cannot be exchanged for a cash equivalent.
-
It cannot be transferred to another customer.
-
It cannot be used to recharge or increase the Actual
Wallet Balance.
-
It does not accrue interest.
Promotional Balance has no independent cash withdrawal
entitlement.
The existence of Promotional Balance in a customer's account
does not create an automatic right to receive that amount in
cash or through any external payment method.
11. Cancellation, Refund and Rescheduling
Where Promotional Balance is applied to an eligible Holiday
Package, the cancellation, refund or rescheduling of that
package shall be governed by the applicable Holiday Package
terms, booking conditions and supplier policies.
Promotional Balance used as a discount does not become
Actual Wallet Balance or cash merely because a booking is
cancelled or refunded.
Any refund arising from a Holiday Package cancellation shall
be processed according to the applicable booking,
cancellation and refund terms. The promotional component
is not automatically converted into a cash refund.
Where RideNow permits restoration of eligible Promotional
Balance following a cancellation, such restoration may be
subject to the original promotional validity and other
applicable conditions.
12. Validity and Expiry
Promotional Balance may carry a validity or expiry period
determined by the applicable promotional programme.
Where a specific promotional offer states an expiry date,
that expiry date shall apply to the relevant Promotional
Balance.
Upon expiry, the applicable Promotional Balance may be
removed or marked as expired and shall not automatically
become Actual Wallet Balance or cash.
Customers are responsible for reviewing the Promotional
Balance information and using eligible Promotional Balance
before its applicable expiry.
13. Misuse, Manipulation and Exploitation
Promotional Balance is intended solely for legitimate use
in accordance with the applicable promotional programme
and these terms.
Any attempt to misuse, manipulate, exploit, fraudulently
obtain or circumvent the Promotional Balance system may
result in action against the Promotional Balance and,
where appropriate, the associated account or transaction.
Examples of prohibited or abusive conduct include
-
Creating or operating multiple accounts to obtain
additional promotional benefits.
-
Attempting to bypass the Promotional Balance usage
percentage or package-value rule.
-
Attempting to bypass or circumvent the mandatory
30-day advance requirement.
-
Splitting, restructuring or manipulating recharge
transactions solely to obtain additional promotional
benefits where not permitted by the applicable offer.
-
Manipulating package prices, bookings, cancellations
or transactions to obtain an unauthorized promotional
benefit.
-
Attempting to convert Promotional Balance into Actual
Wallet Balance or cash.
-
Attempting to transfer Promotional Balance or promotional
benefits to another account.
-
Exploiting bugs, technical errors, system defects or
unintended system behaviour.
-
Using fraudulent, misleading or unauthorized information
to obtain Promotional Balance.
-
Attempting to combine promotions in a manner not
permitted by the applicable promotional offer.
-
Any other conduct that RideNow reasonably considers to
be misuse, manipulation or exploitation of the
promotional programme.
14. RideNow's Right to Restrict, Deny or Withdraw
Promotional Balance
RideNow and Noivo Tech Pvt. Ltd. reserve the right,
subject to applicable law and the applicable promotional
terms, to take appropriate action where Promotional
Balance or a promotional programme is found to have been
misused, manipulated, exploited, fraudulently obtained
or otherwise abused.
Such action may include, without limitation:
-
Restricting the use of Promotional Balance.
-
Denying the application of Promotional Balance to
a transaction.
-
Suspending Promotional Balance temporarily or
permanently.
-
Reducing or adjusting an incorrectly credited
Promotional Balance amount.
-
Reversing Promotional Balance issued due to error,
abuse or unauthorized activity.
-
Withdrawing or cancelling Promotional Balance.
-
Cancelling or reversing promotional benefits obtained
through misuse or manipulation.
-
Restricting eligibility for future promotional offers.
-
Taking action against accounts or transactions
associated with suspected abuse, subject to applicable
law and relevant terms.
RideNow / Noivo Tech Pvt. Ltd. reserves the right to
restrict, deny, suspend, reduce, cancel, reverse or
withdraw Promotional Balance where it reasonably
determines that the Promotional Balance has been
misused, manipulated, exploited, fraudulently obtained
or used in violation of applicable promotional
conditions.
These rights are intended to protect the integrity of
RideNow's promotional programmes and prevent unfair or
unauthorized benefits.
15. Technical Errors and Incorrect Credits
Promotional Balance may occasionally be affected by
technical errors, system failures, duplicate transactions,
incorrect calculations or other unintended circumstances.
Where Promotional Balance is incorrectly credited due to
a technical or operational error, RideNow may correct,
reverse or adjust the incorrect amount, subject to
applicable law.
An accidental or incorrect promotional credit does not
create an unconditional entitlement to retain or withdraw
the incorrectly credited amount.
16. No Guaranteed Future Promotional Benefit
Receiving Promotional Balance under one promotional
programme does not guarantee that the customer will receive
the same or any Promotional Balance under future programmes.
Promotional campaigns may have separate eligibility,
validity, benefit and usage conditions.
17. Account Closure, Suspension or Ineligibility
Promotional Balance may become unavailable if the customer's
account is closed, suspended, blocked or otherwise becomes
ineligible under the applicable RideNow terms or promotional
conditions, subject to applicable law.
Promotional Balance does not create an independent right
to maintain an account or continue receiving promotional
benefits.
18. Promotional Balance Records
RideNow may maintain records relating to the issuance,
utilization, expiry, reversal, cancellation and adjustment
of Promotional Balance for operational, accounting,
compliance, customer-support, audit and dispute-resolution
purposes.
Promotional Balance transactions may appear separately
from Actual Wallet Balance transactions in the customer's
wallet statement or transaction history.
Recharge transactions that generate Promotional Balance
may also be recorded for the purpose of enforcing the
applicable monthly promotional transaction limit.
19. Holiday Package Terms Still Apply
Promotional Balance usage does not override the applicable
terms of the selected Holiday Package.
Package availability, pricing, inclusions, exclusions,
cancellation charges, amendment charges, supplier
conditions, taxes, government charges and refund rules
remain subject to the applicable Holiday Package and
supplier terms.
Promotional Balance is only a permitted payment discount
mechanism and does not alter the underlying service
conditions.
Eligibility under this Promotional Balance Policy,
including the minimum 30-day advance requirement, does not
guarantee package availability or a fixed package price.
20. Policy Changes
RideNow may update this Promotional Balance Policy from
time to time to reflect changes in promotional programmes,
products, services, operational requirements, security
measures or applicable legal requirements.
Changes will generally apply prospectively unless otherwise
required by applicable law or specifically stated in the
relevant promotional programme.
The policy version applicable to a Promotional Balance
transaction may be recorded against the relevant
promotional credit or transaction.
