Cancellation & refund policy

How to cancel a booking and when your refund reaches you.

How to cancel

  1. Sign in and open My trips.
  2. Select the booking you want to cancel.
  3. Choose Cancel booking, tell us the reason and confirm.

You can cancel online any time before the travel date. For help, contact us with your booking ID.

Unpaid bookings

If a booking has not been paid yet, it is cancelled immediately and nothing is charged.

Paid bookings

  • When you cancel a paid booking, a refund request is created and reviewed by our team.
  • The refundable amount depends on the cancellation rules of the hotel, operator or transport provider for that trip, and on how close to the travel date you cancel.
  • You can follow the status of your request (pending, approved, processed or rejected) on the booking page.

How refunds are paid

  • Paid online (Razorpay, Stripe or PayU): refunded to the original payment method, or to your Sanchar Yatra wallet if you prefer.
  • Paid from wallet: refunded to your wallet.
  • Once approved, wallet refunds are usually instant. Refunds to cards, UPI or bank accounts usually take 5 to 7 business days, depending on your bank.

Non-refundable cases

  • No-shows, or cancellations after the travel date has passed.
  • Services refused because of missing travel documents or unsafe behaviour.
  • Bookings clearly marked as non-refundable at the time of booking.

Cancellations by us or our partners

If a trip is cancelled by us or a service provider, we will offer an alternative or a full refund of the amount you paid.

Coupons

If a coupon was used, the refund is calculated on the amount actually paid. Used coupons may not be reinstated.
