1. General Principle
Quiqpe acts as a payment facilitation intermediary between users and telecom operators / BBPS billers. Once a transaction is successfully submitted to the operator or biller network and a success confirmation is received, the transaction is considered complete and cannot be cancelled or reversed.
Refunds are issued ONLY in specific circumstances as defined in this policy.
2. When Refunds ARE Applicable
2.1 Failed Transaction — Money Deducted, Service Not Delivered
If your payment is deducted from your bank/UPI/card but the recharge or bill payment is NOT credited to the beneficiary within the standard processing time — you are entitled to a full refund.
| Service | Standard Processing Time | Refund Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile Recharge | 0–15 minutes | Not credited after 2 hours |
| DTH Recharge | 0–30 minutes | Not credited after 3 hours |
| BBPS Electricity | 0–24 hours | Not credited after 48 hours |
| BBPS Gas / Water | 0–24 hours | Not credited after 48 hours |
| BBPS Broadband | 0–48 hours | Not credited after 72 hours |
| BBPS Loan EMI / Insurance | 0–48 hours | Not credited after 72 hours |
2.2 Double Deduction
If your account is charged twice for a single transaction due to a technical error, the extra amount will be refunded in full within 5–7 business days.
2.3 Wrong Plan Recharged by System Error
If Quiqpe's system processes a recharge for a different plan or amount than what you selected due to a technical fault on our side, a full refund will be issued. This does NOT cover user error.
2.4 Transaction Pending Beyond 48 Hours
If a transaction shows 'Pending' status for more than 48 hours and is not confirmed or failed, you may raise a refund request. We will investigate and resolve within 7 business days.
3. When Refunds Are NOT Applicable
- You entered the wrong mobile number, DTH subscriber ID or consumer number
- You selected the wrong recharge plan or wrong operator
- The recharge was successful but you are unhappy with the operator's plan benefits
- Transaction failed due to insufficient balance in your bank account
- Operator-side delay (network congestion, TRAI compliance hold) — outside Quiqpe's control
- Recharge processed correctly but operator's plan did not activate as expected
- You cancelled the transaction yourself after initiating payment
- BBPS biller delayed acknowledgement due to their own system issues
- Quiqpe Points used for a transaction — Points once used for recharge are non-refundable
4. Cancellation Policy
4.1 Before Payment Confirmation
You may cancel a transaction at any time before clicking 'Confirm & Pay'. No charge is applied for cancellation before payment authorisation.
4.2 After Payment Confirmation
Once you click 'Confirm & Pay' and the payment is authorised, the transaction cannot be cancelled. This applies to mobile recharge, DTH recharge and all BBPS bill payment categories. Recharge and bill payment requests are submitted to operator/biller networks in real-time and cannot be recalled once submitted.
