8th of June, I subscribed to their money-back plan (7078/-) with the hope of finding a house. When subscribing to the program, my account was logged in; I ensured that before the payment. Post payment, we requested a call back from our relationship manager, and we didn't receive any call. We thought maybe it would take time, so we decided to wait. To our surprise, one of my friends was receiving calls from the relationship manager and not me. When I checked back, it turned out the app had registered the plan in her name and not mine; it even logged out my credentials and logged in from her details automatically. Naturally, we requested a resolution by number change. This is where the problem started; we were not assisted by the nobroker helpline for this. We were asked to present documents to support our identities and write a mail for the same. After three days of frustration, we requested a refund.
As soon as I requested a refund, their team had a spotlight on me. They informed us that we could change your number within 2-3 hours, but please don't go for a refund. I was furious to know this. Even though they could solve this problem in 2-3 hours, they made us run and tire ourselves for 2-3 days and only came to recuse as we requested a refund. [Must ask for a refund to get their undivided attention]
Post that day, so much unravelled that I was made to talk to multiple representatives claiming to be the supervisor. If I recall well, I have spoken to 4-5 of such self-proclaimed supervisors and was constantly in touch with the relationship manager, but none of them helped, rather they just wasted my time and kept running in a loop with the same excuse. Our relationship manager even tried to convince my friend behind my back to not apply for a refund, and I caught him red-handed as she (my friend) was sitting right next to me at that moment.
Post refund request on 11th of June, and going through so many supervisors also I was not able to find a resolution. One day I woke up to find that the plan has been cancelled (the plan page was not showing up in the app anymore). This was done without acknowledgement, and they haven't even called to inform. I must mention that all the other calls were also done by me for a resolution, and every time I call, they would ask me to tell the whole story again as if they don't even keep a track record of their customer complaints.
Post this event, one of the representatives named Suman assure me that refund will be initiated and might take 7-10 days; when I called post that timeline to enquire, he redirected me to another representative who asked me to send a mail with my rental agreement, and he will get it resolved. I mentioned it clearly that I am still in the old house, will that agreement work for you, and he said YES! So I mailed him the agreement.
After a couple of days of not receiving any response, I called back again, and I was redirected to another representative by Suman. This lady, after running me around for a month, tells me that "Sorry, we can't refund you since you don't have a new agreement to present". She offered me a plan (1770/-) which is almost 1/4 the price of my previously subscribed plan, as compensation. I mentioned that my plan had been deactivated for many weeks now from your end. You took a month to tell me that you could not refund me or resolve this, but she claimed that it was my fault and I won't be accredited those weeks that I had full right to use the service till they resolved the issue.
They are reluctant to help their users and have a notorious way of running them in loops till their subscription duration end. They cancelled my subscription without a resolution or refund weeks prior to mentioning that they won't refund. They are reluctant to recredit those days or the refund amount or any other equivalent plan.

Updated by Jeet_24 Yes, your team has reached out, and I believe the refund has been initiated but has not yet been processed or reflected in my account. I have crossed checked with the bank and informed your representative (Kavya). I have not received any details of the refund initiation with ref no or verifiable information, so I am only trusting your words that it has been initiated. I must wait till it's reflected in my account.
