> The Refunds entity has the following parameters:

### Response

```json: Entity theme={null}
{
  "id":"rfnd_FgRAHdNOM4ZVbO",
  "entity":"refund",
  "amount":10000,
  "currency":"INR",
  "payment_id":"pay_FgR9UMzgmKDJRi",
  "notes":{
    "notes_key_1":"Beam me up Scotty.",
    "notes_key_2":"Engage"
  },
  "receipt":null,
  "acquirer_data":{
    "arn":"10000000000000"
  },
  "created_at":1600856650,
  "batch_id":null,
  "status":"processed",
  "speed_processed":"normal",
  "speed_requested":"normal"
}
```

### Parameters

`id`
: `string` The unique identifier of the refund. For example, `rfnd_FgRAHdNOM4ZVbO`.

`entity`
: `string` Indicates the type of entity. Here, it is `refund`.

`amount`
: `integer` The amount to be refunded (in the smallest unit of currency). For example, if the refund value is 30 it will be `3000`. In the case of three decimal currencies, such as KWD, BHD and OMR, to refund a payment of 295.991, pass the value as `295990`. And in the case of zero decimal currencies such as JPY, to refund a payment of 295, pass the value as `295`.

<Warning>
  **Watch Out!**

  As per payment guidelines, you should pass the last decimal number as 0 for three decimal currency payments. For example, if you want to refund a customer 99.991 KD for a transaction, you should pass the value for the amount parameter as `99990` and not `99991`.

  `currency`
  : `string` The currency of payment amount for which the refund is initiated. Check the list of [supported currencies](/payments/international-payments#supported-currencies).

    **Handy Tips**
  </Info>

  Razorpay has added support for zero decimal currencies, such as JPY, and three decimal currencies, such as KWD, BHD, and OMR, allowing businesses to accept international payments in these currencies. Know more about [Currency Conversion](/payments/international-payments/currency-conversion) (May 2024).

  `payment_id`
  : `string` The unique identifier of the payment for which a refund is initiated. For example, `pay_FgR9UMzgmKDJRi`.

  : `string` Speed at which the refund is to be processed. Possible value is `normal`, which indicates that the refund will be processed via the normal speed. The refund will take 5-7 working days.

  `receipt`
  : `string` A unique identifier provided by you for your internal reference.

  `acquirer_data`
  : `array` A dynamic array consisting of a unique reference number (either RRN, ARN or UTR) that is provided by the banking partner when a refund is processed. This reference number can be used by the customer to track the status of the refund with the bank.

  `created_at`
  : `integer` Unix timestamp at which the refund was created. For example, `1600856650`.

  `batch_id`
  : `string` This parameter is populated if the refund was created as part of a batch upload. For example, `batch_00000000000001`.

  * `pending`: This state indicates that Razorpay is attempting to process the refund.
  * `processed`: This is the final state of the refund.
  * `failed`: A refund can attain the failed state in the following scenarios:

    * Normal refund is not possible for a payment which is more than 6 months old.

    * Instant Refund can sometimes fail because of customer's account or bank-related issues.

  `speed_requested`

  * `optimum`: Indicates that the refund will be processed at an optimal speed based on Razorpay's internal fund transfer logic.
    * If the refund can be processed instantly, Razorpay will do so, irrespective of the payment method used to make the payment.
    * If an instant refund is not possible, Razorpay will initiate a refund that is processed at the normal speed.

  `speed_processed`
  : `string` This is a parameter in the response which describes the mode used to process a refund.
  This attribute is seen in the refund response only if the `speed` parameter is set in the refund request. Possible values:
