How to File a Complaint Against Policybazaar
PB Fintech Limited (Policybazaar) is a well-known insurance provider used by millions of Indian consumers. As with any large consumer platform, customers regularly report unresolved issues with orders, refunds, service quality, and unresponsive customer support. If Policybazaar's customer care has failed to resolve your issue, you have clear legal options under Indian consumer law.
A complaint against Policybazaar is answerable directly to you as a consumer under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 — the company cannot avoid liability simply by pointing to a partner, vendor, or third party if it collected your payment or made the commitment to you.
Most consumers only try in-app chat support and give up when the issue isn't resolved — but a documented written complaint and, if needed, a formal legal notice consistently get faster, more serious attention than repeated app messages.
Step 1: Escalate to Policybazaar Customer Care
Before legal escalation, raise the issue formally with Policybazaar's customer care and keep a written record. Policybazaar's customer support can be reached at 1800-208-8787. Always follow up any call or chat with a written email or in-app ticket so you have documented proof of your complaint and the date it was raised.
Step 2: File a Free Complaint on ComplaintKart
If Policybazaar's customer care does not resolve your issue within a reasonable time, file a free complaint on ComplaintKart. Include:
- Order ID / booking ID / account or policy number and date

- Any written correspondence with Policybazaar's customer support
Step 3: Send a Legal Notice to Policybazaar
A legal notice is the most effective pre-litigation tool for Policybazaar complaints. It is a formal written communication drafted by a qualified advocate, served via registered post to PB Fintech Limited (Policybazaar), stating your grievance and your intent to approach the consumer court if the matter is not resolved within the notice period — typically 15 to 30 days.
Step 4: File in Consumer Court
If Policybazaar still refuses to act, you can file a case before the appropriate Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. In a successful case, you can claim the refund or compensation owed, damages for mental agony and harassment, and reimbursement of your legal costs.
Time Limit to File a Complaint Against Policybazaar
Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, a consumer complaint must generally be filed within two years from the date the cause of action arose — usually the date of the failed order, denied claim, or overdue refund.
