[Resolved]  HDFC Bank — no refund yet even after 34 days

Address:	560054
Website:	www.hdfcbank.com/htdocs/common/fastag/pay-toll-online.html

Hi,
I have filled online application through hdfc fastag dated 12th may and the acknowledgement says “thank you for the details! Your payment has been received. Your application reference no. Is hfr053897. Our representative will get in touch with you soon. You will receive your fastag in the next 7 working days. Contact [protected] for queries.”
I never received call back or fastag till 22nd may and called back at [protected] and spoke to ms. Shreya and asgar no solution provided by them, but they said they have escalated with backend team and i would get call back from backend team and their supervisor. I was already fed up with the initial service and wanted to cancel the fastag requested for the refund asap. I was told it would take 15 to 40 days for refund to get processed. They deduct amount from my account within fraction of a second and to refund my money why the hell they need so longtime? Literally no answer from the representatives. The worst part is they work individually without any supervisors at least that’s what they have told me “no supervisor available” anytime you call the response is same.
I was looking forward for the refund amount to get credited, waited till 13th june and called again to [protected] and spoke to mr. Sagar rasam, he doesn’t understand anything unable to resolve the issue, not able to connect with his supervisor or his back-end team and was testing the patience of the customers. What a fate i had paid inr 2200 on 12th may, it’s been a month and no status on the refund, every time they say it’s processing and will be credited in a day or two.
Today this gentlemen sagar says fastag will not credit but send dd to me, and i asked the status of the dd, he says his supervisor will call me in next 48 hours and no other response at all. I pity the hdfc fastag team that have such an efficient staff who are not able to understand customer conerncers forget about the solutions.
I want a sensible guy from fastatg who can understand common man’s language and get the solution fixed asap.
Also, i am a very valued customer to hdfc, that’s what every now & then i keep getting calls from them and of course i do have good relationship with them so far till this hdfc fastag issue occurred. I have seriously rethink about continuing with hdfc.
My recommendations to fellow users who happened to read and look for options to buy fastag through hdfc fastag website. Pl do not waste your precious time and money, the people sitting on other side don’t even have a clue of what they are working on, customer concerns etc… total waste of time.
Thanks
Janardhan
