No compulsory page charges, table/figure fees, metadata fees, author certificate costs, or archiving fees exist under standard publishing procedures.
Decisions are based purely on academic merit, originality, and ethics. Acceptance is never guaranteed, accelerated, or influenced by payments or sponsorships.
Because the standard fee is already ₹0, authors do not need to apply for waivers, institutional discounts, financial hardship support, or country exemptions.
No charges apply for desk rejections, peer-review rejections, or author-requested manuscript withdrawals. Withdrawals require written co-author consensus and cannot be used to bypass ethical investigations.
The journal is not responsible for fraudulent payment requests issued by external agents, third-party editors, or fake sites. Never pay money to any entity claiming guaranteed acceptance.
Any voluntary institutional support or publisher grants remain strictly separated from editorial decision-making and manuscript evaluations.
Any future revision to the APC structure will be announced transparently online and will apply solely to new submissions submitted after the official effective date.

The GRWS International Journal of Applied Commerce and Strategic Management is committed to providing authors with a transparent, fair, academically rigorous, and cost-free publication process.
