All this happened for a discount of Rs 200 which tempted me to book a ticket on GOIBIBO.
I booked a ticket on Indigo Airlines on 6th Dec from Hyderabad to Bangalore. I got a message that the transaction failed after the payment was made through net banking and money was taken from my Icici account.
I immediately contacted the helpline on 18602662222. They told me it would take at least 7 working days for me to get the money back on my account. I also sent an e-mail to [email protected] and got the reply that the refund would be made within 7 working days.
After waiting for 7 working days I contacted them again. Now a series of e-mail exchange followed till dec 23. Then they gave me a transaction number and said the refund has been completed from their end. But I have not received the money.
After another e-mail exchange, they gave me another transaction number saying that the transaction has been completed from their end and I have to contact my bank. I have not received my money till now.
I called them on the helpline again and was explained to follow up on the e-mail which was already leading me nowhere.
I am also attaching the e-mail communication between me and IBIBO.com. The support has been kind enough to reply to all me e-mails. But the main motto refund of my money did not happen till now.
note I am not creating a complaint to get help to get back my money.
With this all I want to make consumers aware.
&&&&& PLEASE BEWARE OF CHEAP TICKETS and DISCOUNTS you GET on GOIBIBO. &&&
YOU MAY GET THE TICKETS CHEAPER THAN ON OTHER WEBSITES, BUT IN CASES THE TRANSACTION FAILS AND YOU HAVE TO UNDERGO THE PAIN OF STRUGGLING TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK. I HAVE NOT GOT MY MONEY BACK TILL NOW. The EFFORT I HAVE PUT IN FOLLOWING UP IS WORTH TWICE THE VALUE OF THE MONEY.
So even if I get back my money….so much of my time has already wasted on the follow up who is going to pay for that and the pain of follow.
All this happened for a discount of Rs 200 which tempted me to book a ticket on GOIBIBO.
Thanks
Manmath.

It is already 6 days sinc the amount was credited into your account. Now that you have identified why not credit it back to my account immediately. You are keeping my Money and not going to pay me any intrest. 15 days is a long to settle a failed transaction.

If you have processed the refund I should have got that in my account. There is no such payment. If you give me the transaction ID where am I supposed to check this. I have done enough from myside to followup this issue. Now it is more than 20 days.
You can't just say you have made a payment and close the issue when the payment is not received by me.
Hats off to your systems which always fail the transactions so that you can get enough intrest on the customers money.
I am raising the consumer issue online.
Thanks
Manmath.

If the refund had been processed why haven't I got the money in my account?
How can the transaction number change from the one you gave me last time?

Hello,
First you said the amount should be deposited in my Account in the next 7 days. That was told to me on 11th Dec. Now it is 29th Dec and you have given me tw different transaction numbers that the refund is completed from your end.
Please explain me if you refunded yourself. I have not received any money in my account and you give me some imaginary transaction number.
This is too much for me to digest and you guys keep playing with my money and wasting my time.
Manmath.
