When a ticket is cancelled, Paytm immediately initiates the refund, but the time it takes to credit your account is controlled by your bank.
What You Should Know:
- Timeline: The standard time for a refund to reflect in your source account (Bank/Card) is 3 to 7 working days from the date Paytm initiated the refund.
- Source: The refund is always credited back to the original payment source (e.g., the bank account or card used for the purchase).
- Check Status:
- Go to the "My Orders" section in the Paytm app.
- Check the specific canceled ticket order. The details will show the status of the refund (Initiated/Successful) and often provide a Refund Reference Number (UTR/ARN).
Next Steps (If Delayed):
If more than 7 working days have passed, you should:
- Contact your bank with the Refund Reference Number (UTR/ARN) provided in the Paytm order details.
- If the bank cannot trace it, raise a query through the "Help & Support" section for that specific order in the Paytm app.
