Referral Terms & Conditions for Agents & Referrers
Legally Binding Version
Effective Date: 17th October, 2025 | Version: 1.2
Why This Policy Exists
Raha Technologies follows Indian tax laws for all payments made to agents, lead generators, or student referrers. This policy ensures transparency, legal compliance, and prevention of tax fraud.
Mandatory PAN Submission
01
What is PAN?
PAN (Permanent Account Number) is a 10-digit alphanumeric tax identification number issued by the Government of India.
02
When Do We Ask for PAN?
You must provide a valid PAN card if:
You earn more than ₹10,000 in commission in a single month, OR
You are expected to earn more than ₹15,000 in total commission in the financial year (April–March).
03
How Do You Submit PAN?
Upload a clear PAN card copy during onboarding or before receiving commission.
PAN must be verified by our system.
No PAN = No future payments.
TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) Deduction
What is TDS?
TDS is a small portion (5%) we must deduct from your commission and deposit with the government on your behalf.
Legal Rule:
Section 194H of the Income Tax Act says TDS is mandatory if a person earns more than ₹15,000/year as commission.
If PAN is not provided, TDS rate increases to 20%.
Examples for Easy Understanding
You must provide PAN and accept TDS for payments above ₹10,000/month.
Bank or Cash – Same Rules Apply
Whether we pay you through:
Bank Transfer
Cash
UPI
You still need to provide PAN, and TDS will be deducted.
Example:
Student pays cash: ₹1.5 lakh
Agent commission: ₹20,000
Agent has no PAN
We cannot pay you until PAN is provided, and 5% TDS is deducted.
If PAN is missing, 20% TDS is mandatory (i.e., ₹4,000 deducted).
What Happens If You Don't Cooperate
Our Compliance Procedure (Behind the Scenes)
We maintain a secure Commission Ledger with:
Agent name
PAN details
Commission earned
TDS deducted
Payment mode & date
We also:
File quarterly TDS returns to the government
Send you Form 16A (TDS certificate) by email every quarter
Important Note for All Agents: PAN + TDS is 100% mandatory for commission above ₹10,000/month or ₹15,000/year. If not followed, your payouts will be held back until you submit valid documents.

Agent / Lead Coordinator / Lead Generation Rules
7.2.1 What is Lead Generation?
Lead generators (Agents / Lead Coordinator) provide contacts of potential students. If those leads convert into paying students, a commission is paid.
Commission Pay-out Structure
Performance Bonus (Based on Monthly Enrollement)
To reward consistency and high performance, agents are eligible for additional cash bonuses:
NOTE:
Standard Commission: Agents will receive a flat 5% of the total course fee for each successful student enrollment attributed to them via their referral link or ID.

Course Completion Status will be evaluated using our internal student learning management system (LMS).

One Agent per Student Rule:
Commission is payable only to the first registered agent per student. No dual or disputed referrals will be entertained.
