Cancellation Policy
At PCHANDR GROUP (OPC) PRIVATE LIMITED, we understand that travel plans can sometimes change. This Cancellation & Refund Policy explains the terms applicable to cancellations, modifications, and refunds for tour, travel, holiday, and related bookings made through our website or directly with PCHANDR GROUP.
By making a booking or payment, you acknowledge and agree to the cancellation and refund terms applicable to your selected package.
1. Cancellation by Customer
Customers may request cancellation of their booking by contacting PCHANDR GROUP using the contact details provided below.
Cancellation requests should be submitted as early as possible. The applicable cancellation charges will depend on:
- The type of tour or travel package booked
- Destination
- Date of travel
- Date on which the cancellation request is received
- Hotel or accommodation cancellation rules
- Airline or transportation cancellation rules
- Activity and excursion provider policies
- Non-refundable components of the booking
- Other terms imposed by third-party service providers
The cancellation date will generally be considered the date on which we receive the cancellation request in writing.
2. Cancellation Charges
Unless a different cancellation schedule has been specifically communicated for your booking, the following general cancellation structure may apply:
| Cancellation Period | Applicable Cancellation Charge |
|---|---|
| More than 30 days before departure | Up to 20% of the booking amount |
| 15–30 days before departure | Up to 40% of the booking amount |
| 7–14 days before departure | Up to 60% of the booking amount |
| Less than 7 days before departure | Up to 80% of the booking amount |
| Within 48 hours of departure / No-show | Up to 100% of the booking amount |
Note: The above schedule is a general guideline. The actual cancellation charges for a particular booking may be different depending on the terms of the hotel, airline, transport provider, activity provider, destination, or other supplier involved in the booking.
The specific cancellation terms communicated at the time of booking or shown on the booking confirmation will take precedence over this general schedule.
3. Non-Refundable Bookings
Certain services or components may be completely non-refundable.
These may include, but are not limited to:
- Non-refundable hotel bookings
- Promotional or special-rate bookings
- Airline tickets subject to non-refundable conditions
- Advance purchase arrangements
- Certain transportation bookings
- Event or activity tickets
- Visa or permit charges
- Processing or service fees
- Other services specifically identified as non-refundable
Where a booking contains a non-refundable component, that amount may be deducted from any eligible refund.
4. Cancellation on the Day of Departure
If a customer cancels a booking on the date of departure, fails to arrive, or does not use the booked service, the booking may be treated as a no-show.
In such cases, the booking may be non-refundable, and up to 100% of the booking amount may be retained, depending on the applicable supplier terms.
5. Refunds
If a customer is eligible for a refund after cancellation, the refundable amount will be calculated after deducting applicable cancellation charges, non-refundable amounts, supplier charges, taxes or fees that cannot be recovered, and applicable service charges.
Approved refunds will generally be processed through the original payment method wherever possible.
The time required for the refund to appear in the customer’s account may depend on the payment gateway, bank, card issuer, or other payment provider.
6. Cancellation by PCHANDR GROUP
In exceptional circumstances, PCHANDR GROUP may need to cancel, modify, reschedule, or alter a tour package due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Such circumstances may include:
- Natural disasters
- Severe weather
- Government restrictions
- Political or civil disturbances
- Strikes
- Transportation disruptions
- Health emergencies
- Security concerns
- Changes or cancellations by airlines, hotels, or other suppliers
- Changes in applicable laws or regulations
- Other unforeseen circumstances
Where possible, we will notify affected customers and attempt to provide an alternative arrangement.
If a refund is applicable, it will be processed in accordance with the terms of the booking and the amounts recoverable from the relevant service providers.
7. Airline, Hotel and Third-Party Cancellations
Many travel services are provided by independent third-party suppliers.
Airlines, hotels, transport operators, activity providers, and other suppliers may have their own cancellation and refund policies.
Where a cancellation involves such a supplier, PCHANDR GROUP may be required to follow the supplier’s applicable terms.
Any refund received from a supplier will be subject to the supplier’s rules and applicable deductions.
8. Changes Instead of Cancellation
Customers who wish to change their travel dates, destination, accommodation, passenger details, transportation, or other arrangements should contact us as soon as possible.
Changes are subject to availability and may result in additional charges.
If the requested change cannot be accommodated, the booking may be treated as a cancellation and the applicable cancellation terms may apply.
9. No-Show Policy
A customer who does not arrive for a confirmed booking without prior notice may be treated as a no-show.
No-show bookings may be non-refundable depending on the terms of the relevant service provider.
Additional charges may also apply if a customer fails to use one or more components of a confirmed package.
10. Partial Cancellation
If a booking includes multiple travellers or multiple services, a request to cancel only part of the booking may be subject to separate cancellation conditions.
The refundable amount, if any, will be calculated based on the specific services being cancelled and the applicable supplier policies.
11. Refunds for Unused Services
Once a trip has started, refunds for unused portions of a package are not guaranteed.
For example, voluntarily leaving a tour early, choosing not to use an included hotel night, transportation service, meal, activity, sightseeing arrangement, or other package component may not qualify for a refund.
Any refund for unused services will depend on the applicable booking and supplier terms.
12. Travel Documents and Visa Issues
Customers are responsible for ensuring that they have all required travel documents, including valid passports, visas, permits, identification, and other destination-specific documentation.
Cancellation or inability to travel due to a customer’s failure to obtain the required documents may be subject to the normal cancellation charges.
Visa application fees, processing fees, and other non-refundable charges may not be refundable.
13. Force Majeure
PCHANDR GROUP shall not be responsible for cancellation, delay, interruption, or modification of travel arrangements caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Such circumstances may include natural disasters, extreme weather, war, civil unrest, strikes, government restrictions, pandemics, transportation disruptions, security concerns, or other extraordinary events.
In such circumstances, available refunds or alternative arrangements will depend on the amounts and options provided by the relevant suppliers.
