[Resolved]  SOTC Tours — cancellation amount not refunded

Website:sotc.in

I booked two europe tours with sotc.in for this summer 2019.
Paid advance for each tour.
Additionally i paid insurance in the event of cancellation full advance will be refunded.

Suddenly my father health worsened with diabetes.in may 2019, another follow check up will be there following which insulin injections may be prescribed. Cannot travel in such situation.

Submitted the blood test results indicating high sugar level content. Also submitted the diabetes medicines prescribed to him by central govt doctor. These were the documents requested by them when i informed them my situation and requested for cancellation

Manager last reply on march 13 that his team will get back to me asap. No replies to my mails since then. Even when i escalated and reported to his higher level.

What to do?

Complaint marked as Resolved 
1. I paid insurance for each Tour advance, lest in cancellation, full amount will be refunded 2. There might be admin delays, but after one month of no response, I escalated to level 1, as per the company guidelines. 3. I posted the details here. 4. I phone called and recorded my grievance on consumer affairs https://consumeraffairs.nic.in/ They sent a case number to the company and to me for tracking the status. If the case is not resolved in 10 days, I can the officially record my complaint and send legal notice. After one day, their senior manager, intervened and resolved within a week. 5. Parallel, I asked some of my relatives working in central ministries to help. They were trying to contact their acquaintance in IT(Tax) Commission office the same. I told them not necessary. Dont know which was helpful. Or it was coincident with company's regular processing time.
