It's been 3 days. No one has responded to email yet.

Hi @VFSGlobal @GermanyinIndia — my wife Ritu Yadav (Ref: GEB69802804767/1) applied for a Schengen visa via the German Embassy on 16 June 2025.

The application wasn’t accepted due to <15 days before travel, and the Embassy confirmed refund would be issued.

VFS team is again insisting to check with Axis Bank, while the transaction has been done with HDFC Bank with bank statement shared.

It's feels like I am talking to a broken record.

[Atul Yadav @kyatul]

@vfsglobalcare @VFSGlobal @GermanyinIndia @ConsumerAffairs @jagograhakjago Latest response: VFS sent back my own HDFC bank statement screenshot as “proof of refund”.

There is still no factual confirmation from VFS systems.
If proper refund proof is not provided, I will file a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline.
Requesting urgent resolution.

@vfsglobalcare @VFSGlobal @GermanyinIndia @ConsumerAffairs @jagograhakjago VFS also wrongly claimed the refund was processed via Axis Bank, even though the payment and refund were through HDFC.

The HDFC statement was already shared multiple times.

@vfsglobalcare @VFSGlobal @GermanyinIndia

This team is wrongly quoting that transaction is done from Axis Bank, and to check same with Axis.

Even though, HDFC Bank statement is already shared with transaction. I have shared HDFC statement again.

[Atul Yadav @kyatul]

@vfsglobalcare @VFSGlobal @GermanyinIndia

VFS team is repeatedly quoting RRN(Refund Reference Number) as proof of payment, which is same as original transaction id.

HDFC Bank confirmed that no refund has been made. Bank Statement is also shared with VFS.

I was sitting in the BA Heathrow lounge yesterday with a cup of chai and Being Mortal open on the table. Not scrolling. Just breathing and reading.

An older gentleman sat across from me. Australian accent, silver hair, gentle eyes. The kind of face life has lived through, not just passed by.

He looked at my book for a moment, then smiled and said quietly,
“Hard read, isn’t it?”

I nodded.
“Necessary though.”

He took a slow sip of his coffee and told me something I don’t think I will ever forget.

“My wife passed last year,” he said.
“She used to read that book before every chemo session. Not to prepare for dying… but to remind herself how she wanted to live while she still could.”

He paused, eyes soft with love, not pain.

“She would underline sentences, fold corners, talk to the book like it was a person. I didn’t understand then. I do now.”

Then he said,
“People think talking about death is morbid. But avoiding it is what makes living shallow.”

We sat in silence. Not heavy silence. Human silence.
The kind grief gives you quiet, respectful, alive.

Before boarding, he said,
“Seeing someone young reading that book gives me hope. We need a world where we don’t fear the end so much that we forget to do the middle well.”

And with the gentlest smile:
“Take care of the elders while they’re here. One day you’ll miss the sound of someone calling your name the old-fashioned way.”

He walked away.
I stayed still, holding my cup a little tighter.

Airports are built for departures.
But today reminded me that some departures aren’t flights.
They are people leaving our world, and sometimes leaving us wiser.

Some strangers walk into your morning and stay in your memory for the rest of your life.

I don’t know his name.
But I hope he meets his wife again someday, wherever souls go when they’re done being strong on earth.

I will finish this book for both of them.

🤍

What is the most beautiful thing an elder has ever told you?
I would love to learn from your memories too. 🤍

And for anyone grieving gently today:

If someone you love is no longer here,
what do you wish you could hear them say to you one more time?

[Atul Yadav @kyatul]

@VFSGlobal @GermanyinIndia This has caused unnecessary follow-ups since July 2025. Request @VFSGlobal & @GermanyinIndia to resolve and process the refund urgently.

All email and bank confirmations are available.

@VFSGlobal @GermanyinIndia It’s been over 3 months and despite multiple tickets (G-04219610, G-05060172, G-05606978), no refund received.

VFS keeps sharing the same old transaction ID (UTR 106559706967) claiming it’s refunded, but HDFC Bank confirmed no such credit exists.

@HeartsGoals Big brother comes for the rescue 💪

[Atul Yadav @kyatul]

The only reason why the Pyramids exist in Egypt is because they were too heavy for British folks to steal and put in the British museum.

@themsaid What was the general object sizes ? Since the latency seems to be high. I have used Dynamo with 20ms of latency, sometimes spiking to 70-80ms when new connections are made.
