Will I get refund if my booking got cancelled because AirBnB was unable to verify my Identity?

[Rohit79]

I booked my first room using AirBnb today but I was not aware of ID verification rule in India. Now, the ID which I put didn't had my updated picture so it was rejected. I reached out to customer care, they are saying that it will take around a day to confirm identity using other methods. 

But I read on verification policy that if they will not be able to verify an identity they will cancel the booking in 12 hours. So, will I get my money back which I paid before this ID verification thing came up?

Also, a small feedback to AirBnB that please verify ID of customer before allowing them book & pay the whole amount. It is really frustrating to pay the amount first then wait to get verified.
