Refund and Returns Policy
At PCHANDR GROUP (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED, we aim to provide clear and transparent information regarding refunds for tour packages, travel bookings, holiday packages, and related services purchased through our website or directly from us.
This Refund Policy should be read together with our Terms & Conditions and Cancellation Policy.
1. Eligibility for Refund
A refund may be available when a booking is cancelled in accordance with the applicable cancellation terms and the booking contains refundable components.
The amount of any refund will depend on the specific package, booking conditions, cancellation date, and policies of the relevant service providers.
A refund is not automatically guaranteed simply because a booking has been cancelled.
2. Refund Calculation
Where a refund is approved, the refundable amount may be calculated after deducting applicable:
- Cancellation charges
- Hotel cancellation charges
- Airline or transportation cancellation charges
- Activity or excursion cancellation charges
- Non-refundable booking amounts
- Service or processing fees
- Payment gateway charges, where applicable and non-recoverable
- Taxes or government charges that cannot be recovered
- Other charges imposed by third-party suppliers
The final refund amount will be communicated to the customer after the cancellation has been reviewed.
3. Non-Refundable Services
Some services may be completely or partially non-refundable.
These may include:
- Non-refundable hotel reservations
- Promotional or special-rate bookings
- Non-refundable airline tickets
- Advance purchase services
- Visa and permit fees
- Activity and event tickets
- Transportation bookings with non-refundable conditions
- Processing or service charges
- Other services specifically identified as non-refundable
Any non-refundable amount will not be included in the customer’s refund.
4. Refund for Cancellation by Customer
If a customer cancels a confirmed booking, the refund will be processed according to the applicable Cancellation Policy and the terms communicated at the time of booking.
The earlier a cancellation request is received, the greater the possibility of recovering refundable amounts from service providers.
Customers are encouraged to submit cancellation requests as soon as they know that they will not be able to travel.
5. Refund for Cancellation or Changes by PCHANDR GROUP
If PCHANDR GROUP cancels or materially changes a confirmed booking due to circumstances within our responsibility, we will communicate the available options to the affected customer.
Depending on the circumstances and applicable booking terms, customers may be offered:
- An alternative travel arrangement
- Rescheduling of the booking
- Credit or adjustment toward another booking
- A refund of eligible amounts
Where a cancellation or change results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, any refund will depend on the amounts recoverable from the relevant airlines, hotels, transport providers, activity operators, or other suppliers.
6. Third-Party Supplier Refunds
Many components of travel packages are provided by independent third-party suppliers.
If a refund depends on a hotel, airline, transport company, activity provider, or other supplier, PCHANDR GROUP may need to wait for the supplier to process or approve the refund.
The amount ultimately refunded to the customer may therefore depend on the amount received or recoverable from the relevant supplier.
7. No-Show and Unused Services
Bookings that are not used because of a customer’s failure to arrive, late arrival, voluntary withdrawal from a trip, or failure to use a booked service may be treated as a no-show or unused service.
Such bookings may be non-refundable.
Unused portions of a tour package, including accommodation, meals, transportation, sightseeing, activities, or other services, are generally not refundable unless the applicable supplier specifically permits a refund.
8. Refund Processing Time
Once a refund has been approved and the refundable amount has been finalized, PCHANDR GROUP will initiate the refund through the applicable payment method wherever reasonably possible.
The time taken for the refund to reach the customer’s account may depend on the payment gateway, bank, card issuer, or other financial institution.
PCHANDR GROUP is not responsible for delays caused by banks, payment gateways, card networks, or other financial institutions after the refund has been initiated.
9. Original Payment Method
Where possible, refunds will be issued to the original payment method used for the booking.
We may request additional information or verification where necessary to process a refund securely.
Refunds may not be transferred to a different account or payment method unless permitted by applicable procedures and security requirements.
10. Duplicate or Incorrect Payments
If a customer has accidentally made a duplicate payment or has been charged an incorrect amount due to a technical or payment-processing issue, the customer should contact us as soon as possible.
After verification, any eligible excess amount may be refunded through the applicable payment method.
11. Failed Transactions
If an amount has been debited from a customer’s account but the booking or payment is not successfully completed, the customer should contact us with the relevant transaction details.
If the payment has not been received by PCHANDR GROUP, the reversal or refund may be handled by the customer’s bank, payment gateway, or card/payment provider.
Where the amount has been received by us but the booking has not been successfully completed, we will review the transaction and process any eligible refund accordingly.
12. Refund Requests
For refund-related enquiries, customers should contact us with the following information:
- Customer name
- Booking or confirmation number
- Registered mobile number
- Email address used for booking
- Travel date
- Payment or transaction details
- Reason for the refund request
Providing complete information will help us process the request more efficiently.
