Participants must register under the correct age category at the time of submission. Entries submitted under an incorrect category may be disqualified.

After successful registration, participants may be required to complete an identity verification (KYC) process as part of audit procedures. This may include submitting details of a valid identification document, such as a government-issued ID or an institutional ID (for example, school or college ID), including ID type and ID number, as requested.

Failure to provide accurate, valid, and verifiable identification information within the stipulated time may result in the participant being excluded from evaluation and related verification processes, without affecting the general conduct of the contest.

Higher-valued prizes take precedence. If a winner qualifies for a higher prize, the next eligible participant will receive the remaining prize in that rank order.

Where a prize is awarded as a monetary equivalent, the value shall be determined in Indian Rupees (INR). For winners outside India, the amount may be converted to USD based on prevailing exchange rates at the time of payout.

Any applicable taxes, duties, or statutory charges shall be borne by the winner. Any bank charges or fees levied by the recipient's bank or intermediary financial institutions, if applicable, shall also be borne by the recipient.
