on 25 June'15 , i called yatra team and they told me that refund is alredy done from their end on 20th June so please check with you bank .
i asked them to provide me refund communication on mail but due to their exchange term they didnt share mail with me .
 
after 2 month of incident , on 14th Aug'15 i checked my Credit card account and found that 27499 amount is debited in my account again .
 
i  called Yatra.com and they are saying that refund is already done from their end to bank so please call you bank and confirm the same that why it happened.
 
then i called to bank and asked them to jusitfy why they debited this amount on my account again as refund is alreday processed .

You have posted that:

 

---“12:15 PM - received a mail from yatra team regarding "unable to complete your booking with reference no :09051528516 due to payment failure”

Did you proceed further with this booking number?

Did you cancel this booking reference number?

 

---“12:24 PM - received a mail from yatra team regarding booking confirmation with reference no : 09051530125

12:24 PM - received a SMS from HDFC team for 26803 payment made on yatra site”

 

Apparently you were to be charged for this booking by M/s HDFC Bank   since it released payment thru CC in your name, for this booking only.

 

---“i asked them to provide me refund communication on mail but due to their exchange term they didnt share mail with me.”

Did you record this call?

Demand it in writing? Nothing can be concealed from you.

Another point is that how come the question of refund arises if only one payment was approved?

 

---“i  called Yatra.com and they are saying that refund is already done from their end to bank so please call you bank and confirm the same that why it happened.”

---“ even they didnt call me to get the information on incident ,’

Communicate this point in writing.

 

---“ i already submitted relevant documents to bank but they are not considering those as proof and also not sharing investigation report’

 

Communicate this point in writing that the report is not shared.

---“ please suggest me what i do now and where i log complaint aganist bank or merchant.’

BOTH.

 

If you are unable to handle it on your own entrust it to your lawyer and pull them to DCDRF.

Instead of completely relying on the messages, visit the bank once and check whether the amount is deducted twice and if so any return has been made later.

If there is a real discrepancy in your accounts you enquire in person the reason behind it and then give a legal notice to the bank for inefficient service. If the Yatra.com is at fault, enquire there too and check whether it is orally said or literally sent from their side. Thereafter check again with the concerned a/c nos. whether the amount is remitted in your bank. If the discrepancy is at yatra.com give them a notice and finally decide against whom you need to file a consumer complaint in the Consumer court.

AS advised by Mr Sampath please collect facts.

 

from given details is appears that someone made abooking on your card without your knowledge.  You have not told how he dis same.

 

You can get details of these passangers from Yatra.com.  Visit their office.

Both M/s HDFC bank and M/s Yatra.com have stated on record that payment is ndeclined and ticket can not be issued. Both made payment after that from your CC and kept the money.

Both concealed from you and caused fiancial loss/tention/harassment etc and can be pulled to consumer forum (DCDRF).

Both are liable to pay interest.

You can claim equitable finance charges/penalties from M/s HDFC bank i.e.@3.75% per month as they charge.

plus crimal case lies for fraud.

Kumar Doab (FIN)     27 August 2015

Consult a good lawyer and your lawyer may opine that civil suit with damages may be rewarding.

The banks that are not member of IBA may be avoided e.g. M/s HDFC bank, ICICI Bank etc and if you go thru the publications and record carefully you will find that these banks are somewhat habitual offenders.
