5. Grievance Redressal Mechanism
Scofit has established a multi-level grievance redressal mechanism intended to facilitate timely and appropriate resolution of grievances. 5.1 Level 1 — Initial Complaint Grievances may be submitted through the following channels: Email: grievance@scofit.app General Contact / Support: info@scofit.app Support Ticketing System: Where available through the relevant customer dashboard, contract or service arrangement. Written Communication: Addressed to the Company’s registered office. Complainants are encouraged to provide sufficient information to enable investigation, including, where applicable:

- Customer or account details;
- Transaction ID;
- API reference number;
- Request ID;
- Date and time of the incident;
- Description of the grievance;

Complainants should avoid including unnecessary sensitive personal information in an email or other communication unless specifically required for investigation.
6. Acknowledgement
Scofit will endeavour to acknowledge grievances within 3 (three) working days of receipt. Where appropriate, the acknowledgement may include:
- A grievance or ticket reference number;
- Confirmation that the grievance has been received;
- Contact details of the person or team handling the grievance; and
- Any additional information required from the complainant.
Acknowledgement of a grievance does not constitute an admission of liability, fault or wrongdoing by Scofit.
7. Resolution Timeline
Scofit will endeavour to resolve grievances within 15 (fifteen) working days from the date of receipt of the grievance, subject to the nature and complexity of the matter. Where a grievance requires:
- Extended technical investigation;
- Information from a third party;
- Information from a client institution;
- Verification of transaction records;
- Investigation of a security incident;
- Regulatory or legal review; or
- Other circumstances beyond Scofit’s reasonable control,
the resolution may take additional time. Where reasonably practicable, Scofit will communicate the reason for the delay and the expected timeline for further resolution. Where a different timeline is prescribed under applicable law, regulation or contractual arrangement, the applicable prescribed timeline shall prevail.
8. Escalation Matrix
Scofit follows a structured escalation mechanism. Level 1 — Customer Support / Operations The initial grievance shall be reviewed by the appropriate Customer Support, Operations or Service team. If the complainant is dissatisfied with the response or resolution, or if the grievance is not resolved within the applicable timeline, the matter may be escalated to the Grievance Redressal Officer.
Level 2 — Grievance Redressal Officer The Grievance Redressal Officer (“GRO”) shall review escalated grievances independently and facilitate an appropriate resolution. The GRO shall endeavour to review and address the escalated grievance within 7 (seven) working days of escalation, subject to the complexity of the matter and applicable requirements. The GRO may:
- Review previous responses;
- Request additional information;
- Coordinate with Operations, Technology, Compliance or other internal teams;
- Coordinate with relevant client institutions or service providers where appropriate;
- Review relevant records;
- Recommend corrective or preventive measures; and
- Communicate the outcome to the complainant.
The GRO’s decision shall constitute Scofit’s operational grievance determination, subject to any further escalation or remedies available under applicable law or contractual arrangements.
9. Level 3 — Senior Management / Compliance Review
Where a grievance remains unresolved or the complainant remains dissatisfied following review by the GRO, the matter may be escalated for further review by appropriate senior management or the Compliance function. Such review may be undertaken based on:
- Nature and seriousness of the grievance;
- Regulatory or legal implications;
- Material customer impact;
- Repeated or systemic issues;
- Security or data concerns; or
- Other circumstances considered appropriate by Scofit.
The outcome of such review shall be communicated where appropriate and subject to applicable confidentiality, legal and contractual requirements.
10. Regulatory and Client-Level Escalation
Scofit primarily provides technology and infrastructure services and may not itself be the regulated entity responsible for the underlying financial product or transaction. Where a grievance relates to a regulated financial product or activity provided by a Scofit client, such as a bank, NBFC or other regulated entity, the complainant may need to approach the relevant institution’s grievance redressal mechanism. Where applicable, the complainant may also approach the relevant regulatory or statutory authority in accordance with applicable law. Nothing in this Policy prevents a complainant from exercising any statutory or regulatory right available under applicable law. Where a matter falls within the responsibility of a Scofit client or third-party service provider, Scofit may, where appropriate, coordinate with or direct the complainant to the relevant institution.
