After receiving the voucher I had contacted with Hotel Manager on 6th March, 2012 about this confirmation, but he said that they had no such hotel confirmation and he also said to me that before me already 2 (Two) parties were went there but at the time of check-out they had paid the necessary room tariff which was claimed by the hotel property. He also said that Bag it today is a fraud company.
After hearing the same I had emailed this matter to the Bag it today, but they did not respond me. On the very next day I had emailed them once again and warned them if the voucher appears fake, I will go to Consumer Court, but they did not respond once again.
However all my necessary booking such as Train booking was already made. I reached the hotel Naren Palace on 10th March, 2012 and produce the voucher before them, but they did not accept it and told me “ You have to pay the room tariff as your voucher is not accepted by us and it is a fake voucher” . I had nothing to do, but I wanted to try a Phone call to their ( Bag it today ) customer care no which is state above, but after several tries they did not respond me. Then I paid the room tariff for 3 ( Three) nights also the cheating company namely Bag it today made 5 ( five) nights and the tariff was (1680/- X 3)+ applicable taxes and cancel my previous back train reservation and made a new one.

Now I Sri Raju Saha, S/O : Radheshyam Saha of Netajee Pally, PO+PS: Islampur, Dist: Uttar Dinajpur, State : West Bengal, pin : 733202 may pray before that Hon’ble Court that How a fraud company business so long in India ? May We the Indian know why they cheating with the innocent Indians?

Please kindly do arrange to credit all my money which were debited from my account. I want all my money with interest be credited into my bank account bearing no. [protected] i.e. Rs. 7000/ for my booking and 7000/ for my wife’s booking and Rs. 750/- for D.D.

I would request you to please take strict action against them & see to it that they do not make other innocent citizens of India fall prey to their devious methods of cheating people with false information.

I look forward for to your support in solving this issue.


Thanks,

Raju Saha

Now, It is proved that the Company Cheated me as they refunded my Money which was debited from my account to purchase 7N8D holiday packages and the amount was Rs.14000/-. But they did not refund the amount of Rs. 750/- which was paid to Affordable Sales Promotion which was a part of claim their Holiday packages.

But Now, as I had faced many unwanted questions which was asked by Hotel Naren Palace about the fake voucher which was supplied by Bag It Today. They said that the voucher is fully fake and if I want to stay there, all the requirements be fulfilled by me. Then I paid their charge and stayed there for 3 Nights.

Now, I want to lodge a complain against this company (Bag it today) for harassment with me as well as my family. This is a cheating company and I want Rs. 2, 00, 000/- ( Rupees Two lack) only from their end as they had no right to cheat me as well as other innocent Indians.

Hope, The court will take this complain seriously and will take all the necessary action against this cheat company.

I would like to bring your kind notice that why I lodged such case.
1. As I was informed that Bag It Today ( A subsidiary company of India Today Group) offers 7N8D holiday packages only for Rs. 7000/- (Rupees Seven thousand) only + Rs. 750/- ( Rupees Seven hundred fifty) only as D.D in the 3-5 star hotels at several tourist places.
2. Therefore, I attracted by the offer and want to avail it for myself and the second one for my wife namely Piyali Choudhury.
3. I had paid all the money to them as per norms.
4. After received the payment they send two booklets including myself and my wife.
5. As per their rules and regulation I had sent the filled Hotel Voucher form alongwith D.D amount to Rs. 750/- before more than 60 days of our travel date.
6. They promised that they will contact us after receiving the filled hotel voucher form. But they did not it for a single time.
7. After send the filled Hotel voucher I contacted them more than 50 times. Sometime it was connected and sometimes they did not received my call. When It was connected someone from their end replied that " Please call after two weeks" and it was happened several times.
8. At last, they finalized my travel date and send me the hotel voucher which was discussed in my earlier complain.
9. After getting the voucher I contacted with the specific hotel namely " Hotel Naren Palace" in puri but they replied politely that they had no booking such a booking number which was provided by Bat It Today.
10. After hearing their response, I again tried to contacted with Bag It Today but they did not received my phone. After that I emailed them that if the voucher becomes as fake I will go to Consumer Court, but they did not get any reply.
11. On the specific date I alongwith my family reached at the Hotel Naren Palace and produced the voucher before them. But they said that the Voucher is completely fake and if I want to stay there, required money should be paid by me. I paid it and stayed there for 3 Nights.
12. After returned from that hotel, I complained against Bag It Today before Consumer Court and they returned my booking amount. But they did not returned my D.D. amounting to Rs. 750/-.
13. After returning such amount they called me several times as well as when I was in office ( I am a Government Employee under government of West Bengal) and they pressured me to back the booklets. They harassed me several times.
14. Now I would like to bring your kind notice that like me many many innocent public were cheated by them and I believe that few of them complained before Consumer Court and as a result all their money were forfeited by Bag It Today.
15. How they dare to cheat innocent Indians?
16. Therefore, I pray before that court that they should be punished and they have to pay the harassment cost which is asked from my end amounting to Rs. 2, 00, 000/- ( Rupees Two lac) only as they have no right to cheat innocent Indians in this way and this will be a lesson to them.
17. As it is now the jurisdiction of Hon'ble court. I never contacted with any Print Media or any TV news Channel. If you give me permission I want to published this fraudulent through Print Media as well as TV Media.

Hope the Court will take my complain and give us real justice which will be a great lesson to Bag It Today.
