Out of this first one has been reversed but igst amount has not been reversed which is rs. 319.16.

We have never been informed either by hdfc bank or priority pass team. Even today, if you go to, pp entry point is bangalore airport, they say that, for pp holder it is free and only bank charges.
If this entire amount is not reversed, i will close my banking, portfolio and all other transactions ; hdfc has cheated me for being loyal to them since 2003.
