First of all to inform you if you are doing payments with UPI then you can understand this issue better .
also here i am talking about only merchant payment not transferring to another person .
whenever we do pay by UPI to merchants by entering our virtual payment address it asks to approve that payment on UPI app (bhim,phonepe etc) and when we approve that it get paid to that merchant .
but have you faced any one of these issues -
1. money debited from bank via UPI but transaction not completed or say stucked/failed .
2. if merchant cancel any order and do refund back to source , but refund not get back even after almost 2 weeks . Bcoz in UPI refunds should be faster than cards .
i faced both of these issues – in 1st case on paytm it got stucked but money debited and on bhim app showing transferred to vpa – paytm@icici , paytm told that they not received it . in 2nd case after order cancellation payment gateway refunded the money back to source but not received it 2 weeks gone , even payment gateway was helpless on this and told they have refunded it already , their CEO also shared 1 news article of medianama (www.medianama.com/2017/01/223-upi-r...ds) on the same issue .
in both cases 1 thing to notice is that both Virtual address were having@icici in last it mean bank is same for both . so might be it is fault of ICICI too .
also mailed to my bank they told no refund issued yet on those transactions .
at last when i saw above medianama article i found that many people faced this and in 1 screenshot 1 payment gateway ceo told there is no api calls for refund and only option to refund they contact their banks to process it , then yday i mailed to NPCI to check it bcoz its not only about me , all other people will be suffered bcoz of this .

if any of you faced this then you can share it here .
Also if any one who got refund successfully in UPI case then plz share your experience .

Hi

Actually I am also getting the same kind of problem like I have tried to refund my paytm wallet amount to my bank account. Amount got deducted also but I haven’t got refund in my ICICI bank account. Bank is saying that they didn’t got any request like that and paytm wallet guy is saying that they have refunded successfully now what to do any idea please.

I’m literally so irritated because of this thing. My transaction is still pending and the amount has been debited and when I filed a complaint they mailed me saying the amount has been credited to the beneficiary’s account but then the merchant says it’s not credited. It’s been 1 month today. I swear to God I’m gonna uninstall this sucking app immediately after I get my money back. Though I don’t know how. I’ve faced the worst of problems because of this issue.
