Airtel — Refund not processed more than 100days

I had made Airtel broad band bill payment of Rs 2179.44 on 18th April 2022 and letter When i got next month bill Airtel claims that they have refunded Rs 1422 on 28th April which i have not received till date.

i have followed up with all the escalation contacts from Airtel and also visited their outlets but of no you. They say the request is still in progress and it it escalated at their end. Every time they copy paste same response.

I need my refund along with compensation for delay and mental harassment under any valid provision under consumer act.

Below is the Email exchange with Airtel where you can find all the details.

Hi,

If you are looking for bank details, please find my cheque details below which I have already shared with you in the past as well. Also to reiterate, this account is not all related to Airtel payment i had made . Airtel payment was made via Amazon pay wallet and i have already shared statement with you in the past. Now tell me what else do you need? Don't do Mary go round again please.

Also to let you know, i will wait for one more week for you to resolve this issue and refund my amount which is pending for more than 100 days now. If you still fail to resolve, i will Post the whole conversation on social media and will also file a complaint against you in consumer court for harassment. Asking the same information again and again and giving the same reason that it is escalated or its in progress is not acceptable anymore.

Regards,
Ahamed

Hi Team,

Can you please update what the status regarding the refund? Airtel has got enough time by now to investigate and to escalate.

It's really frustrating that Airtel is taking so much time to refund this small amount.

First of all what was the need to refund when the customer had paid the bill amount. Now that you are unable to trace where did you refund because of your systems inability why are you troubling me asking me to share the same information which is already shared.

Tell me how many more years, decades, centuries you need?

Priyanki Das Frustrated customer

Hi,

As discussed over the call please find the copy of cheque leaf for refund purpose only.

As mentioned before the payment to Airtel was made using Amazon pay wallet and Amazon wallet statement for 3 months is already shared with you. The cheque leaf i am sharing with you is only for refund purpose and it is no where related to Airtel bill payment.

Hi,

Please find the below screenshot from Source so that Amazon pay for the month April, May and June. I have not any received any refunds from Airtel.

Just to remind you that refund of Rs 1422 is pending from 28th April 2022. May i know the ETA to close this issue?

How many more days/months required to investigate and resolve the issue?
I have so far provided all the information you asked for that too multiple times. Hope nothing is pending from my end to share.

Don't come to me after one week or month asking for any additional information and tell me again that you have escalated this issue. I have been given the same vague reason after every long gap from Airtel
