I created a e mandate for free trail the e-mandate?

Hi @Musaib Bhat

We understand your concern regarding the e-mandate and possible charges. Please be assured of the following:

• The e-mandate (or trial authorization hold) is only a payment-method verification step. Azure may place a temporary authorization hold (typically $1 or an equivalent amount) to confirm that your card or bank account is valid. This is not an actual charge it is only a temporary amount reserved by your bank and will be released automatically.
• Based on your description, you were shown that you are not eligible for the free trial, and the Pay-As-You-Go subscription was also not successfully activated.
• Since no active subscription was created, there are currently no services being billed to your account.

Therefore, no money will be debited from your account at this stage.

Charges would only apply if:

• A valid subscription (such as Pay-As-You-Go) is successfully created, and
• You actively use billable Azure services.

You may also do:

• Check your Azure portal under Subscriptions to confirm there is no active subscription, or
• Contact your bank to review or cancel the e-mandate if you do not intend to use it.

Please let me know if you face any challenge here, I can help you to resolve this issue further

For Azure free trial sign-up with card/e‑mandate:

1. During identity verification, a small temporary hold can appear on the card. This is only for verification and is automatically reversed within 3–5 days.
2. If the account is not eligible for the free trial and Azure doesn’t successfully create/activate a subscription (free or Pay‑As‑You‑Go), there is no ongoing charge. Only the temporary verification hold may appear, then it is removed.
3. Actual charges only start if a paid subscription is successfully created and used (for example, after upgrading and consuming paid services). If sign-up fails and the subscription is not active, there is no billing beyond the temporary hold.

To be sure, check the bank/card statement over the next few days:

• If only a small “verification” amount appears and then disappears, no money has been debited.
• If a real charge posts and does not reverse, contact the bank and Microsoft billing support with the transaction details.
