[Resolved]  Yatra.com — airlines cancelled the flight, but yatra is not refunding the amount

I have booked my flight tickets (Indigo) from bangalore to dehradun (Travel date:29th march 2020, pnr hlt2ua) and dehradun to bangalore (Travel date:5th april 2020, pnr nlsm3n) through yatra app for a family of 5.
On 9th march i realiesd from te indigo website that boht the flights were cancelled. I reached out to yatra support and ticket 24479342 was raised. Initially yatra team said, i will have to pay hefty fine even if airlines cancel the flight. Later yatra team suggested to either opt for an alternate flight or opt for refund. I replied on 9th march evening mentioning that i am opting for refund. After that reply, there is no communication/response from yatra team on refund. Now it is more than 3.5 days.
I raised another case 24469952 to understand the refund process. I got a response saying they will get back, but no reply for 3.5 days now.
My rs:50, 000 is stuck here. I am looking for fast refund of the amount. As per indigo airlines policy, if airlines cancel the flight, full refund will be given

Please note, Yatra takes only 24hrs to process the refund, Further, if the payment was made through Private sector bank then it will take 2-3 working days & if the payment was made through Public sector bank then it will take up to 7 working days to reflect the credit into your account.

Thank you Yatra team.
For my Bangalore to Dehradun flight, I got SMS from Indigo that it is cancelled, got email from yatra mentioning that that the refund is initiated.The trip is removed from my 'Upcoming trip' section in the app as well.
But for the Dehradun to Bangalore flight, I ddnt get the SMS/refund email and the trip is still showing up as 'upcoming' in the app.
Kindly help in cancelling my 'Dehradun to bangalore' trip as well.
Regards.

HI Yatra team,
Now I got the automated email from yatra for the refund Dehradun to bangalore' trip as well. Thanks a lot.
Only concern is Rs:400 /person/trip is Yatra convenience fee which is not refundable even if the airlines cancel the flight

Yatra team,
Since the cancellation was not from me ( It was from the airlines due to the pandemic - Covid-19), could you please consider waiving the convenience fee ? If I get full cancellation, I will be back to yatra again for my next trip.

Dear Customer,

Greetings from Yatra.com!

We have checked the details and found that refund is already processed under both the bookings, however, the convenience fee is non-refundable.

We would not be able to refund the convenience fee since it is a non-refundable component. We hope you understand this as well.

Based on the price shown on the yatra app, I booked my ticket for 16th March. I made a payment but received unconfirmed message. The amount has been deducted but there's no way I've been able to get my refund. The reference number is[protected].

this is in regards to booking reference number[protected]. flight was cancelled from airlines end. still you are deducting convinience fee of rs. 1000. i do understand its a non refundable component. but think from my end as a consumer, i am not being serviced and already incurring losses like my plans, meetings, bookings, other dependencies etc as flight is cancelled by airlines. in such case, is it ethical to deduct another amount adding up my losses further. requesting you to waive off convinience fee which will allow me to further use this app and share to others. thank you
