To protect domain name registrants, ICANN will follow the De-Accredited Registrar Transition Procedure to commence the domain name transition process and will solicit bids for a qualified ICANN-accredited registrar to manage the domain names currently managed by Net 4 India.

Sections
3.4 : Retention of Registered Name Holder and Registration Data;
3.9 Accreditation Fees;

5.9 Limitations on Monetary Remedies for Violations of this Agreement.
Net 4 India has current and past due accreditation fees for the total outstanding amount of
US$4,142.64. Please immediately submit payment to ICANN Accounting.
This does not include accrued fees for the period of 1 January 2021 through 14 October 2021 that become billable upon termination and once all transactions have been reported. Additionally, Net 4 India will be invoiced for the remainder of the yearly fees owed to ICANN and any variable fees corresponding to transactions reported through 13 March 2021.
All these fees are required to be paid to ICANN pursuant to Section 3.9 of the RAA.
