Domain Registration Policy

IndianSoftwares (Mindware Infotech, New Delhi) sells domain names as a reseller through an accredited registrar platform. The rules for each extension are set by its registry, and for generic extensions such as .com also by ICANN. Those rules apply to your registration alongside our Terms of Service.

The registrant is the legal holder of the domain. Give accurate details and keep them up to date, because registries can suspend or cancel a domain with false or unreachable contact information. You may be asked to verify the registrant email address after registering.

New registrations in the .in family (including .co.in, .net.in, .org.in, .firm.in, .gen.in, .ind.in and .भारत) are limited to India-based registrants.

.IN domains need identity verification (e-KYC) by the domain holder. After registration the .IN Registry (NIXI) emails a verification link to the registrant email — complete it with Aadhaar or DigiLocker within the time the email gives, or the domain can be put on hold. .IN domains can only be registered to individuals or organisations in India, and the registrant details must match the ID used.

A domain stays registered only for the period paid for. Renewal prices are shown before you buy and in your account. Keep auto-renew on or renew before the expiry date, because a domain that expires stops serving your website and email. What can be recovered after expiry, and at what cost, depends on the registry.

You can transfer a domain away from us or to us. It must be unlocked, and the authorisation (EPP) code is needed for most extensions. Registry rules usually block a transfer for 60 days after registration or a previous transfer. The fee for a transfer to us includes a one-year extension where the registry provides one.

Domain Protect+, where available for an extension, replaces your personal contact details in public lookup results. Registries, registrars and authorities can still see the real registrant details where the rules or the law require.

Trademark disputes over generic domains are handled under ICANN’s Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy, and over .in domains under the .IN Dispute Resolution Policy. Domains used for abuse, as defined in our Acceptable Use Policy, can be suspended.

Domain registrations, renewals and transfers are covered by our Refund Policy.

ICANN publishes the rights and responsibilities of registrants of generic domains, in its Registrants’ Benefits and Responsibilities statement at icann.org.
