yesterday (1/2/2017) i sent a mail to [protected]@airtel.com regarding the refund status and i got a call saying my request is closed because the status of my landline number is disconnected, how can the status be disconnected when i didn't even get a connection? i requested them to reopen the request and process my refund, as expected i got a mail saying i will be getting the refund will be processed within 15days, now i am back top square one, my money is with them for almost 3 months i am not sure for how many customers they did this and earning out of the money which has to be refunded. Below is the mail i got today from airtel. why should it take them 15 days to process a payment? this is frustrating.
