Booked a villa on @bookingcom.
Checked in. Paid ₹26,540.
5 mins later — Booking marked cancelled by me (??)

No GST invoice. No receipt. No refund.
https://t.co/FhHT9G1MEV support: Completely silent.

Is this a glitch? Or a scam?

[Amit Hira @AmitHira10]

📩 https://t.co/FhHT9G1ePn replied to our public tweet—saying the matter is with their “specialized team”.

But after 19 days, there’s still no: – Refund of taxes & platform fees – Invoice – Action against the property

❌ Who’s accountable?

Hi Amit, apologies; our social media team does not work in real time, and we try to reply to as many messages as we can. We noticed that following your request to management, your case is being reviewed by our specialized team. They will be the ones to investigate and provide you with any further updates regarding your booking. Kind regards.

@bookingcom @bookingcom Thanks, but this has dragged too long. All evidence submitted. No refund. No GST invoice. No accountability. “Review by team” isn't a resolution. 3 more days, or legal & regulatory escalation continues. #BookingScam #ConsumerRights #GSTFraud

[Amit Hira @AmitHira10]

📢 Day 4 of 7: Booking confirmed. ₹ paid with GST & taxes.

5 mins post check-in, @bookingcom marks it “cancelled by guest” ❌

No invoice. No refund.

📍Even after 14 days, property listed with 3⭐ rating.

🧾 RT if this isn’t acceptable.

🛑@BookingcomIN
Your contact centre was called twice during checkout.
Grievance officer was emailed on 3 June.
Still no refund. No GST invoice.
Is this service lapse or a structural loophole?
Do laws not apply when a platform supports such fraud?

🚨 Phase 3 Day 3 still no refund.
@Bookingcom confirmed in writing the property cancelled the booking after full UPI payment yet refuses to share logs or issue refunds.
Complaints filed with: @ConsumerComIndia @FinMinIndia
@GST_Council
Waiting

Phase 3 Day 2. Still no response to formal complaints from @BookingcomIN or the property.

GST collected. No invoice. No accountability.

Time to call it what it is — #DigitalTaxFraud

[Amit Hira @AmitHira10]

@BookingcomIn @meity @MIB_India @FinMinIndia ❗Refund promised, not issued. GST taken, no invoice.

Property manager shrugged responsibility. https://t.co/FhHT9G1ePn blames them.

Isn’t this a pattern of platform-enabled tax misuse?

@jagograhakjago @ConsumerComIndia

#DelistScamVillas #ScamHospitality

[Amit Hira @AmitHira10]

🚨 Tax collected. Booking cancelled. No GST invoice.

As per Indian GST Law Sec 31(1), an invoice must be issued when tax is charged.

Who’s liable now – @BookingcomIN or the property?

@GST_Council @FinMinIndia

@FinMinIndia @GST_Council @BookingcomIn @BookingHoldings @GlennFogel Snippet from https://t.co/FhHT9G1ePn’s response shows admission.

Still no refund. Still live listing.

Should such platforms be allowed to operate unchecked in India?

https://t.co/FhHT9G1ePn still hasn’t refunded GST & service fees after wrongful cancellation—despite proof.

[Amit Hira @AmitHira10]

@FinMinIndia @GST_Council @BookingcomIn @BookingHoldings @GlennFogel https://t.co/FhHT9G1MEV’s internal email dated 8 Jun acknowledges refund.

Yet no refund made.

No GST invoice given.

Listing still active.

Systemic evasion or careless neglect?
