Consumer Commissions Order Refunds and Compensation in Holiday Membership Disputes
Two consumers secured refunds and compensation from consumer commissions after disputes with holiday membership companies. In Delhi, a couple was ordered a refund of Rs 65,000 plus interest and compensation after being persuaded to buy a membership under false promises of free benefits. Separately, a consumer received over Rs 1 lakh after a holiday firm missed the 90-day refund deadline following cancellation due to unavailable hotel bookings. Both cases highlight consumer protection enforcement against holiday membership firms.
