MakeMyTrip India — Horrible experience - international travel booking

Website: www.makemytrip.com

Booking id - IN1505B1S040233 I did book an international flight for me and my fly which I wanted to reschedule. The modify booking option on the website was disabled so called the customer care and it has been worst experience. In the first 2 calls, customer care agent told me they can't access the airline's website to see the fare difference and even advised me to speak to airline directly. Airlines said there shouldn't be an issue in finding fare difference and termed the excuse as lame. Further in subsequent call to mmt, I have been told that I can modify to a date no later than 4 months however they couldn't explain me the reason. Few more calls and then a conference with the airline was required for them to let me know that this is a ISR rule associated with booking date however several international calls made to airline and mmt already made my life difficult. The only option remained was to cancel the booking which the representative advised me, would take 5 working days to refund. I went ahead with cancellation on 20th Dec and today being the 4th day I realized that mmt website is showing ticket as cancelled since 20th and airline's website says it is not. I called up airline and they said the ticket is still active. Now mmt customer care has confirmed that there is some issue and it appears the ticket is not cancelled yet. And they would call me and advise. This is not helping me as I have to book the tickets for another date and waiting for the refund. The fare of the ticket I'm planning to book has increased and on the other mmt is keeping me waiting.

The refund has not been credited yet and it has passed the refund due date provided. On the issue the customer care representative promised to provide an update through a call in 24 hours but didn't receive any. Why do they promise something they can't deliver? And this is not my first experience.

This post is being conveniently ignored !!!

After several calls, I have received refund amount of Rs 37, 052 when I have been told a figure of Rs 59, 698.00 as you can see in some of the attachment shared. I have asked for cancellation based on the figure told to me and it was even shared with me in few emails but when I received the refund, its a way less. The customer care don't have any explanation and simply say they have referred the issue to concerned department and then goes quiet for days.. worst service, I regret.

I have received an email from makemytrip stating that it was a technical glitch and then in their defense says "The refund amount is indicative and the actual amount may vary". Is this justified ? I can understand if the variation is due to some discount, offer or exchange rate variation but this is massive difference. I wouldn't have opted for cancellation if I was made aware that I will not get even half of what I paid.

How can I justify the break up provided to me in email and through phone which now you say as technical glitch ? How would you compensate my loss ? and the stress you have given ?

So one should never trust your customer care representative, your system and website and email confirmations ?

Please find the attached image that shows mmt has cancelled the ticket on 20th Dec however airline website says the ticket is still active as on today. The mmt representative says technical team is looking at it and would be resolved in a day but it has been over 30 hours and no update. I have been making several international call with long wait time but in vain.I have also raised it online on their website but they keep ignoring it by changing the status of complain to resolved. To save me with all these hassle I was told by mmt representative promised that I would be provided an update via call by end of 25th Dec but no call. There is no professionalism.

And we cannot trust your representative on phone, your system, website and even the confirmation email ?

Please provide an update.
