try to remove class="toggle-title" or try this

<div >
   <a href="<?=base_url()?>/Gotopolicy/returnpolicy">Return Policy</a>
</div>

You should understand the difference between site_url and base_url first

echo base_url(); // http://example.com/website
echo site_url(); // http://example.com/website/index.php

You can rewrite it as follows :

<?php  echo site_url('controller/method');?>

In HMVC

<?php  echo site_url('module/controller/method');?>

So in your case

<a href="<?php  echo site_url('gotopolicy/returnpolicy');?>" class="toggle-title">Return Policy</a>

you can use the URL helper this way to generate an <a> tag

anchor(uri segments, text, attributes)

So... to use it...

<?php echo anchor('gotopolicy/returnpolicy', 'Return Policy', 'class="toggle-title"') ?>

Possible issue could be of htaccess,

create a file .htaccess in your root CI folder

and add below contents to it

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Make $config['index_page'] = "";
