MakeMyTrip India — jet airways ticket cancellation refund

All my efforts to get the cancellation amount pertaining to Jet airways ticket cancelled on 18th April has yielded no result. The customer care team, supposedly dedicated for Jet airways, is impossible to reach. First, they take a good amount of time to locate the booking details and then keep transferring endless time for the right team. After multiple efforts, this team for jet airways ticket refund either hang the phone or do not respond to call to get disconnected. I see it very deliberate design to harass the customer. Even if I could reach they just ask for wait for some more time, as they are yet to get a refund from the jet airways. I do not understand why they are not paying and making customer party in their transaction with the airline?

Their latest email reply of 10th July is following

""Dear Customer,
MakeMyTrip submitted the refund claim for all our customers to Jet Airways in May 2019 and we have been closely following up ever since. Recently, National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has accepted insolvency petition under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 from certain lenders of Jet Airways and MakeMyTrip has filed all details of customer claims due from Jet Airways with NCLT as per the prescribed process. As a result, any refunds (full or partial) will now get processed as per the directions of the NCLT.

This email is to keep you informed of the latest developments on pending refunds from Jet Airways and we shall keep sharing updates as the matter progresses
Regards
Team - MakeMyTrip"

No one in the company is bothered to resolve this issue. Why are they making a customer party of their responsibilities and accountability? It was never told or clarified at the time of booking tickets that if an airline gets into troubled the customer has to wait for airlines to payback. I had booked my ticket in Dec 2108 and cancelled the ticket on 18th April but they send email like this on 8th

Jet Refund

Same is the case with me. Why end customer has to wait for the refund. We paid to makemytrip and not jet airways, else we would have booked directly through jet airways. Makemytrip is responsible to pay passengers back in case something goes wrong with airlines. Makemytrip should settle its dues with Jet airways. Why harass passengers and keep them waiting till Jet settle its dues.
I have close to 1L stuck in there. Booking tickets again hoping that refund will arrive soon has led me crippling debts. MMT has been parroting that NCLT has to take care of this issue. They have also bothered to not respond to my complaint. They have been telling me wait until July then September, now its already November and it seems like the money will never get refunded. I have also no idea how NCLT would go on about resolving this issue and what insolvency means for our refund. I wish to know if as a normal citizen what can be done to get this sorted.
