[Resolved] Indigo Airlines — ticket refund

I had booked tickets (From chennai to bagdogra - dec85t) almost a month in advance. Had to cancel them due to unavoidable reasons within 2-3 hours of booking. The refund amount on the tickets was only 45%. Indigo has taken us for a ride. Unbelievable exploitation of the common man! 55% of the ticket price (12k rupees) was the cancelation fee!!! This is too much, considering indigo has nearly a month's time to rebook tickets and the tickets were held for merely 3 hours!

IndiGo Customer Care's response Hi Shweta,

We truly understand your concern. We would like to inform you that cancellation policy is designed in a way so as to give our customers the freedom to cancel their travel plans according to their own convenience, exigencies can occur at any point of time and therefore we allow you the flexibility to cancel or reschedule a reservation up to two hours prior to the scheduled departure time. We look forward towards your understanding in this regard.

Updated by shweta0 It is unfortunately not very useful if Indigo allows customers to cancel tickets and not give refund!!
Indigo's website is carefully designed to mislead people, so that you would think the ticket price is refundable while booking your ticket, but the refund amount would turn out to be negligible in comparison to the ticket price!
I wonder what the refund would be for tickets being canceled with one week to go, if it is 45% of ticket price for cancelation within 2 hours and with one month to go!! Outrageous!
