Frequently asked questions
Cancel Empower: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Empower and regain control of your investment fees
What is Empower and why cancellation matters
Empower is a dual-tier personal finance platform that provides free budgeting, expense tracking, net worth monitoring, savings planning and portfolio analysis tools to all users, alongside optional paid investment management services. The free tier remains accessible indefinitely. The paid tier-Empower's wealth advisory service-charges you a percentage of your assets under management (AUM) annually, typically ranging from 0.49% to 0.89%. If you've enrolled in this managed advisory service and those annual fees no longer align with your financial goals, or you've found a lower-cost alternative, canceling that service is your statutory right as a consumer in India. Yafee specializes in helping you understand your cancellation rights and execute them correctly, ensuring you stop paying for services you no longer need.
How empower's service structure works
Empower operates on a transparent, two-layer model. The core application is free and includes budgeting tools, expense tracking, net worth calculation, savings goal planners and portfolio analysis. These features function offline and remain available to you even after you cancel paid advisory services. The optional investment management layer involves licensed financial advisors who actively manage your investment portfolio, rebalance your holdings and provide personalized financial planning in exchange for an annual fee deducted directly from your managed assets. This is an assets-under-management (AUM) fee structure, not a flat monthly subscription, which means your annual cost scales with the size of your portfolio.
Common reasons users cancel Empower
Users typically cancel Empower's paid advisory service when they switch to a lower-cost advisor, decide to manage their investments independently, consolidate multiple financial platforms into one solution, or conclude that the annual AUM fee no longer justifies the advisory value they receive. At Yafee, we've observed that users paying between 0.49% and 0.89% annually often recognize that these costs accumulate significantly over time-for example, a ₹50 lakh portfolio charged at 0.65% results in ₹32,500 paid annually. Other users cancel because they've completed their financial planning goals, achieved their target retirement corpus or wish to move their portfolio to a custodian they trust more completely. Whatever your reason, you have the legal right to cancel, and Yafee ensures that process is clear and efficient.
Empower pricing and fee structure for indian users
Understanding your exact costs is essential before deciding whether to cancel or continue your subscription.
Complete pricing breakdown
| Plan tier | Annual cost (INR) | Billing method | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core Empower (free) | ₹0 | No charge, ongoing | Budgeting, expense tracking, net worth tracker, savings planner, retirement calculator, portfolio analysis |
| Investment management service | 0.49% - 0.89% of AUM | Annual deduction from managed assets | Personalized wealth advice, active portfolio management, financial planning, account rebalancing |
What your fees mean in practical terms
If you use only Empower's free budgeting and tracking tools, there are no charges and nothing to cancel. However, if you've enrolled in their investment management service, you're paying an annual percentage of your total managed assets. The fee is deducted directly from your investment account, not invoiced separately. For a portfolio of ₹25 lakh at 0.65% AUM, you pay approximately ₹16,250 annually. For a portfolio of ₹1 crore at the same rate, you pay ₹65,000 annually. Yafee's analysis shows that many users underestimate these cumulative costs over five or ten years, making the decision to cancel both financially sound and strategically important for wealth accumulation.
Should you cancel Empower? weighing the decision
Before you proceed with cancellation, evaluate whether this decision genuinely serves your financial interests and long-term wealth goals.
Reasons to keep your Empower advisory service
You may want to retain Empower's investment management if the advisors actively help you stay disciplined during market downturns, your portfolio has grown significantly and the annual fee is a small fraction of your gains, you value the personalized financial planning and rebalancing service, or you're uncertain about managing your investments independently. Additionally, if Empower's fee is genuinely lower than competitors offering the same service quality-verify by comparing advisory fees from other registered investment advisors-keeping Empower may be more cost-effective than switching. At Yafee, we recommend keeping any service where the value you receive exceeds the cost you pay.
Reasons to cancel empower's advisory service
Cancel if you've decided to manage your portfolio independently using low-cost index funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs), you've found a different advisor charging significantly lower fees for comparable service, your portfolio has become large enough that even a 0.49% fee represents substantial annual costs, you no longer use the advisory service despite paying for it, or you're consolidating financial services to reduce complexity and costs. Furthermore, if you've achieved your financial goals and no longer require ongoing advice, or if you wish to move your portfolio to a custodian you trust more completely, cancellation is the appropriate action. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers evaluate these exact scenarios and reach confident cancellation decisions.
Your legal position: consumer rights and Empower cancellation
Indian consumer law provides you with clear statutory rights when canceling financial services. Your position is protected by multiple legal frameworks.
Consumer protection laws that apply to you
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (as amended) governs all transactions between you and Empower as a service provider. This law grants you the right to cancel services and receive clear information about cancellation procedures, timelines and any applicable charges. Under Section 6 of the Act, you have the right to be protected against unfair or restrictive cancellation terms. Furthermore, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) oversight of financial advisors ensures that any registered investment advisor must comply with fair dealing standards and transparent fee disclosure. If Empower is registered as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), it must also comply with SEBI's investment adviser regulations, which mandate fair treatment of clients during cancellation and transparent handling of client assets.
Your legal position: what you can demand
You have the right to submit a cancellation request without providing extensive justification. You can demand written confirmation of your cancellation within 7-14 business days. You can request a clear statement of any remaining fees or charges, an accounting of your assets and their transfer to your designated custodian, and confirmation that no further fees will be charged after your cancellation date. You are protected against unilateral changes to cancellation terms. If Empower refuses to cancel without legitimate reason, or imposes unreasonable delays or charges, you can lodge a complaint with your state's consumer commission or escalate to the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA). Yafee ensures you understand these rights fully before you begin the cancellation process.
How to cancel Empower: step-by-step procedure
Follow this systematic process to cancel your Empower investment management service and regain control of your assets.
Step 1: gather your account information
- Log into your Empower account and collect your account number, registered email address, phone number and current portfolio value.
- Document the total assets under management (AUM) and confirm your current advisory fee percentage.
- Note any outstanding transactions, pending transfers or recent trades that may be processing.
- Review your account statements for the past three months to verify fee deductions and ensure accuracy before cancellation.
Step 2: decide on your asset destination
- Choose where your portfolio will be transferred after cancellation-a new advisor, your own brokerage account, or another custodian.
- Open or identify the receiving account with the custodian you've selected.
- Obtain the account details and DEMAT account number (if applicable) from your receiving institution.
- Ensure your receiving account is fully operational and ready to accept transferred securities and cash.
Step 3: submit your formal cancellation request
- Contact Empower's customer service via email, phone or in-app messaging. Use the official contact channels listed in your account or on the Empower website.
- Send a written email with the subject line "Request for Cancellation of Investment Advisory Services" and include your full name, account number, email address and phone number.
- Clearly state that you wish to cancel your investment advisory service effective immediately and request written confirmation of your cancellation.
- Include your preferred asset destination account details (receiving custodian, account number, DEMAT account number if applicable).
- Request itemized confirmation of all fees charged through your cancellation date and confirmation that no further charges will apply after cancellation.
- Save copies of all emails, timestamps and reference numbers provided by Empower.
Step 4: follow up and confirm cancellation
- After submitting your request, wait 7 business days for Empower's written confirmation of cancellation.
- If you receive no response within 7 business days, send a follow-up email referencing your original request and attaching a copy of your initial cancellation request.
- Once Empower confirms cancellation in writing, request a final account statement showing your complete portfolio holdings, cash balance and the exact cancellation date.
- Verify that the final statement shows zero advisory fees charged after your cancellation date.
Step 5: manage your asset transfer
- Upon receipt of Empower's written cancellation confirmation, initiate a portfolio transfer request with your receiving custodian.
- Provide Empower's customer service with the transfer request from your new custodian (this is typically handled via ACAT or portfolio transfer forms).
- Monitor the transfer process, which typically takes 10-15 business days for complete settlement.
- Once transferred, verify that all securities and cash appear in your new account with no missing holdings or funds.
- Confirm with Empower in writing that the transfer is complete and request final closure of your advisory account.
Refunds, final fees and what to expect after cancellation
Understanding what happens to your money after you cancel is essential for your peace of mind and financial planning.
Fee refund policies
Empower's advisory fee is charged as a percentage of assets under management on an annual basis. When you cancel mid-year, the fee is typically prorated-you pay for only the months you were actively managed. For example, if you're charged 0.65% annually and cancel after six months, you should pay approximately 0.325% of your average AUM for that period. Empower should credit or calculate this prorated refund upon cancellation. However, if you've been overcharged or the prorated calculation appears incorrect, you have the right to request a detailed breakdown and dispute any discrepancy with Empower's accounting team. If Empower refuses to refund legitimate overpaid fees, escalate your complaint to the CCPA or your state consumer commission. Yafee recommends requesting a written fee reconciliation statement before you finalize your cancellation to prevent disputes later.
What happens to your portfolio and account access
Upon cancellation, your portfolio remains in Empower's custody until you transfer it to another custodian. Your holdings are legally yours and cannot be liquidated or sold without your authorization. Empower will no longer provide active management or rebalancing advice once your cancellation is effective. You retain read-only access to your Empower account to download statements and transaction history. After your assets are transferred to your new custodian, you can request that Empower close your account entirely, though archived statements remain available upon request for compliance and tax purposes.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
The cancellation process is straightforward, and avoiding these frequent errors protects your assets and ensures a seamless transition.
Mistake 1: not submitting a written cancellation request
Some users cancel verbally or assume an email inquiry about cancellation constitutes a formal request. This creates ambiguity and gives Empower grounds to claim they received no cancellation instruction. Always submit a formal, dated written email with a clear subject line, your account number and a direct statement that you wish to cancel. Request written confirmation and save all correspondence. At Yafee, we emphasize that verbal cancellations have no legal force; written documentation protects both you and Empower.
Mistake 2: initiating asset transfer before receiving written cancellation confirmation
Beginning a transfer request before Empower formally confirms cancellation can cause confusion, duplicate transfers or delays. Follow the sequence strictly: submit cancellation request, receive written confirmation, then initiate transfer. This sequence is the industry standard and ensures your assets are protected throughout the process.
Mistake 3: failing to track fee deductions after cancellation
Some users overlook their account statements after cancellation and don't notice if advisory fees continue to be charged. Verify that your final statement shows zero advisory fees after your cancellation date. If any fee appears after cancellation, contact Empower immediately and request a refund. Document all communications and escalate to the consumer commission if Empower refuses to acknowledge the error.
Mistake 4: not verifying the receiving custodian's account details
Providing incorrect account numbers or DEMAT account details to Empower can result in your assets being transferred to the wrong destination. Triple-check all account numbers, custodian names and receiving account details before submitting your transfer request. Contact your receiving custodian to confirm they've received your transfer request and are monitoring its progress.
After cancellation: next steps and account management
Cancellation is the beginning, not the end, of your financial management journey. Take these steps to ensure continuity and optimize your portfolio moving forward.
Verify your transferred assets
Once your portfolio is transferred to your new custodian, log in and verify that every security, fund and cash position matches your final Empower statement. Reconcile the number of shares, fund units and cash balance. If any holdings are missing or incorrect, contact your new custodian and Empower's transfer team immediately to locate and correct the discrepancy.
Review your investment strategy
Now that you're managing your portfolio independently or with a new advisor, revisit your investment allocation, diversification, asset class weights and rebalancing schedule. Without active management, you're responsible for ensuring your portfolio remains aligned with your risk tolerance and financial goals. Consider setting a quarterly or annual review schedule to monitor performance and adjust as needed.
Maintain organized financial records
Download and archive all Empower statements, transaction history and fee documentation for tax and compliance purposes. Indian tax law requires you to report investment income, capital gains and advisory fees on your income tax return. Maintaining complete records simplifies tax filing and supports you in any future disputes. Yafee recommends storing these documents digitally and in physical format for at least seven years.

How to contact Empower and submit your cancellation request
Use these official contact channels to submit your formal cancellation request.
Empower customer service contact information
Email your cancellation request to Empower's primary customer support email address. If you have an active Empower account, log in to your account dashboard and locate the "Contact Support" or "Help" section for the most current email address and phone number. Alternatively, visit the Empower website's "Contact Us" page to find official support channels. When you contact Empower, reference your account number, full name and request written confirmation of your cancellation within 7-14 business days. Request all contact confirmations be sent to your registered email address.
Primary cancellation address (Empower corporate headquarters)
If email contact is unsuccessful or you require postal confirmation, send your cancellation request via registered mail to Empower's corporate headquarters address (available on their official website under "Company Information" or "Contact"). Include your account number, full name, registered email address, phone number, clear cancellation statement and preferred asset transfer destination. Send this via registered post with acknowledgment so you have proof of delivery. Empower should respond in writing within 14 business days.
Escalation: consumer commission complaint
If Empower fails to acknowledge your cancellation request within 14 business days, refuses to cancel without legitimate reason, or continues charging fees after your cancellation date, lodge a formal complaint with your state consumer commission. You can file online at the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) website or your state's consumer commission. Include copies of your cancellation request, Empower's responses (if any), statements showing unauthorized fees and a description of the harm you've suffered. The consumer commission has the authority to compel Empower to refund unauthorized fees and impose penalties for non-compliance.
Summary and your path to financial control
Canceling Empower's investment advisory service is a straightforward process when executed methodically. You hold the legal right to cancel under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, with protection from unfair treatment or excessive delays. Your next step is to gather your account information, decide where your portfolio will be transferred, submit a formal written cancellation request to Empower's customer service, confirm cancellation in writing within 7-14 business days, and then manage your asset transfer to your chosen custodian. Verify that all holdings transfer correctly and no advisory fees are charged after your cancellation date. If Empower resists or delays, escalate to the consumer commission without hesitation. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel financial services successfully by following this exact framework, ensuring they regain control of their assets and stop paying for services that no longer align with their goals. Your financial autonomy is non-negotiable, and Yafee is here to guide you through every step of the cancellation process with precision and clarity.
