Goibibo — Complete Refund not received

I was booking a return ticked from Bangalore to Mumbai due to website failure the Bangalore to Mumbai ticked wasn't booked and only the Mumbai-Bangalore ticket was booked.

The total round trip cost of the ticked was Rs 5,497. While booking the ticked I had clearly noted that the forward ticked would cost Rs 2,767 and the return would cost me Rs 2,730. But the refund I received was a partly sum of Rs 2,462.

For my Bangalore to Mumbai trip I had to book my tickets again by spending another Rs 2,967.

So a total loss of Rs 505 plus the money and time that I had to spend on phone calling their call centre.
