Schedule of fees
One price, published in full, before you speak to anyone
The Thesis service has one fee, a stated scope and a typical duration, set out here rather than quoted privately in a chat window. It is invoiced in Indian rupees and paid in three parts as the work is delivered.

Already halfway? You still pay one price, and we start from where you are.
On the currency you are reading
The rupee figure is the amount charged. The switcher lists 18 currencies[6]; choose any one of them other than the rupee and that figure is an estimate, converted at a reference rate held in our own rate table and rounded up, for comparison only. Each estimate prints the date its rate was last entered, so you can see how old it is. You are billed in INR, and your bank applies its own rate on the day it charges you.
Payments
What you pay, when, and what each payment unlocks
Three tranches against delivery, as published. These are milestone instalments on a fee: not a loan, not a credit line, and not a deferred-payment product.
Milestone instalments
40 / 40 / 20
- 40%On booking
- Your record opens, your mentor and scientific editor are named on it, and the first stage begins. Cancel before the team is assigned and any work starts, and this tranche is refunded in full.
- 40%At the first full draft
- Your complete edited draft goes into the viewer for you to read and annotate, with its uniqueness report attached to that version.
- 20%Before the final download
- The final formatted file unlocks in your dashboard. Until this tranche is settled, drafts are read online rather than downloaded.
A two-tranche split of half and half can be agreed instead. Whichever you choose, the tranches are written into your engagement before any work begins, and each one falls due when its milestone is reached rather than on a calendar date.
How you can pay
Razorpay
- In India
- UPI, debit and credit cards, net-banking, and EMI on cards through Razorpay. EMI terms are set by your bank, not by us.
- Outside India
- Cards worldwide. The charge reaches your statement in Indian rupees, so your issuer applies its own conversion rate and any cross-border fee it levies on the day.
- Billed in rupees
- Every fee is invoiced in Indian rupees. A figure in any other currency on this page is a converted reference, not the amount charged.
- Card details
- Cards are handled by the payment gateway. We never see or store a card number.
With a question about an invoice or a tranche, write to info@mdthesis.com with your thesis code.
Any tax payable on a fee is charged in addition where it applies, and shown separately on your invoice, as clause 4.8 of the terms sets out.
Cancel before your team is assigned and any work begins, and the first tranche is refunded in full. Once work has started, milestones already delivered are not refundable and unused instalments are refunded pro-rata. The refund policy sets that out in full, along with the two pieces of work we redo at our own cost, and the terms carry the scope and revision position. Both are written to be read rather than skipped.
Included as standard
What every fee carries, whichever service you book
These are not plan features. They are how the practice works, so they travel with the smallest fee on the schedule as well as the largest.
A word-level uniqueness report
Every draft version ships with an MDSoftune report that reads the text word by word and phrase by phrase, against the under-10% similarity convention your university applies[3]. It is a stage on your tracker, not a line added to an invoice.
A dated record
15 named stages[6], each carrying a date and the person who holds it, visible in your account from the day your record opens. Progress is something you read rather than something you ask for.
The viewer and the pins
Drafts open in a view-only viewer watermarked with your own name and email. You pin a comment to the exact point on the page; your editor and your mentor reply in that thread and mark it resolved.
Version history
Each draft is a numbered version with its own date and page count. Nothing is overwritten, so you can always see what changed between two readings.
A named person to write to
A message on your record reaches whoever holds the current stage. Support is answered 09:00 to 21:00 IST, seven days, and international calls are scheduled in your own time zone.
Your authorship, in writing
You remain the sole author of your thesis, and we claim no authorship or co-authorship. Where your institution or a journal asks for writing, editing or statistical help to be disclosed, we help you disclose it in the form they require[4].
Confidentiality
Anonymised datasets only, an NDA on request, and your record and your documents held in the Mumbai region under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023.
The feasibility opinion, before you pay
A senior doctor reads every feasibility enquiry and replies within one working day, whether or not you go on to book. If we think a topic will not survive your department, we say so then.
What differs between services — how many chapters, how much analysis, how many rounds of revision — is written out on each service page, because that is where it belongs.
Outside the fee
What no fee on this page buys
A schedule that lists only what is included is half a schedule. This is the other half, and some of it is the reason we turn enquiries down.
Your data
You collect your own data. We do not generate it, supply it or alter it, and we will not begin analysis on a dataset collected before ethics approval was granted[5].
The ethics application itself
We guide and check the committee packet. Filing it, answering the committee, any resubmission, and the approval itself remain yours.
Writing the thesis for you
We do not ghost-author, and we decline the request every time it is made. What a fee buys is mentorship, statistics, editing and integrity review on work that is yours.
Any outcome
No fee on this page buys a grade, an acceptance, a publication, or a particular figure on a similarity checker we do not operate. Two checkers with different indexes will disagree, and we promise nothing about a score on a system that is not ours.
Revisions beyond the plan’s allowance
Revisions until your guide signs off are included in the Thesis service. Every other service states its own allowance in its written scope, and we do not advertise unlimited revisions on a plan that does not carry them. What every plan does carry: written remarks from an assessor or your guide on work we have edited come back as a modified draft within seven days.
Your institution’s own costs
University submission and late fees, the similarity check your institution runs at submission, printing and binding, and any journal article processing charge are paid by you to whoever levies them.
Work outside the written scope
Each service has a written scope. Anything beyond it is quoted and agreed with you before it starts, rather than appearing on an invoice afterwards.

Every fee is published and billed in INR. You pay in two or three instalments tied to milestones: usually 40%, 40% and 20%.

The indicative three-instalment split of any published fee; two instalments of 50% each is the other option. Billed in INR. Any tax payable is charged in addition where it applies. Read the detailHide the detail
Fees are published per service and billed in Indian rupees (INR); a figure in your local currency is an estimate for reference. Most students pay in two or three instalments tied to milestones. Indian students can use UPI, cards, net-banking or EMI via Razorpay; international students pay by card.
The usual split is three instalments against delivery: 40% on booking, 40% on the first full draft and 20% before the final download. Two instalments of 50% each is the other option. Work on a milestone begins when its instalment is settled, so a delayed instalment delays that stage rather than compressing it.
You read and comment on every draft before the next instalment falls due. Any tax payable is charged in addition where it applies and is shown separately on your invoice. Work outside your written scope is quoted separately and starts only when you accept the quotation in writing; we do not do unscoped work and invoice for it afterwards.
If you cancel before your team is assigned and any work begins, the first instalment is refunded in full. Once work has started, milestones already delivered are not refundable and unused instalments are refunded pro-rata. The refund policy on this site sets that out in full.
Every other question is answered in the full register of questions, and anything still unanswered goes to a senior mentor.
