I am filing this complaint against Goibibo regarding the non-refund of ₹1,300 from a flight booking that was cancelled by the airline.
I booked a SpiceJet flight from Mumbai to Bengaluru for 08 October 2026 through Goibibo for two passengers, Aishwarya Vikas and Kunal Jaikumar.
The total amount charged by Goibibo was ₹8,491, which was paid using my ICICI Bank credit card ending in 4006.
The booking details clearly show the following:

  • Airline Base Fare + Taxes: ₹9390
  • Goibibo Convenience Fee: ₹900
  • E-Coupon (GOSKYDOM): ₹1799
  • Total amount paid: ₹8491
The flight was subsequently cancelled by SpiceJet, and this was not a cancellation initiated by me.

I contacted SpiceJet regarding the cancellation and was informed that the airline had processed a refund of ₹9,390. The Goibibo booking status also confirms that the PNR was cancelled by the airline and that a refund request was filed with the airline.

However, despite the airline refund being ₹9390, Goibibo has refunded only ₹7191 to my credit card.

Therefore:
Amount paid to Goibibo: ₹8491
Refund received: ₹7191
Outstanding amount: ₹1300

I have repeatedly attempted to contact Goibibo regarding this discrepancy. However, I have been unable to obtain meaningful assistance from Goibibo's customer support. The available support repeatedly routes me through automated/AI responses without providing access to a human representative capable of addressing the refund discrepancy.
This has left me without a proper explanation of where the ₹1300 difference has gone.
I understand that Goibibo's terms may provide for certain non-refundable fees in some cancellation situations. However, in this case, the flight was cancelled by the airline, and SpiceJet refunded ₹9,390. I therefore require Goibibo to provide a transparent, itemised reconciliation showing:

  1. The exact amount received by Goibibo from SpiceJet.
  2. Every deduction made by Goibibo from that amount.
  3. The contractual/other basis for each deduction.
  4. The reason only ₹7191 was refunded to me.
  5. Refund of the outstanding ₹1300, if there is no lawful and contractually supported basis for its deduction.
I am attaching the booking/payment details and refund-status screenshots as documentary evidence.

I request that Goibibo be directed to resolve the matter and refund the outstanding amount of ₹1300, along with appropriate compensation for the inconvenience, repeated unsuccessful attempts to obtain customer support, and the time spent pursuing a refund that should have been transparently reconciled in the first place.
