Indian Consumer Commissions Award Compensation for Travel and Accommodation Service Failures
Two consumer commissions in India ordered compensation for customers after travel and accommodation service failures. In Chandigarh, MakeMyTrip was directed to pay Rs 1.20 lakh to four women for mental agony and harassment after a villa booking in Kasauli was not honored as promised. Separately, a Kerala commission awarded Rs 40,000 to a man whose confirmed hotel booking in Munnar was canceled without notice, forcing his family to return home. Both rulings emphasized the inconvenience and distress caused by such service deficiencies.
