What happens when you cancel
Access after cancellation
Cancelling stops future auto-renewal but does not cut access immediately.
You retain access to Hoichoi content until the end of your current billing cycle.
Account and data
Your account and watch history typically remain active; cancellation only affects billing.
If you reinstall or resubscribe later, your content library and preferences may persist.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy
Hoichoi’s policy is that subscriptions are non-refundable once purchased.
Canceling mid-term does not trigger a pro-rata refund; access continues until billing ends.
Exceptions and payment failures
If a payment status shows "Failed", banks typically process refunds within 2 - 3 business days.
For double payments, contact Hoichoi support with evidence to request a refund of the duplicate charge.

Your consumer rights in India
Refund and cancellation rights
Under Hoichoi’s stated terms, cancellations stop future billing only; refunds are not offered as standard practice.
Hoichoi’s policies do not explicitly provide a statutory 14-day refund or trial window in their documentation.
Escalation and legal options
If you believe you have been charged unfairly or face non-compliance, you may raise a complaint under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 in India.
Keep records (receipts, bank statements, emails) to support any consumer complaint or dispute.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Many users praise Hoichoi’s extensive Bengali content library and regular addition of new titles.

Common complaints
- Customers report difficulty unsubscribing directly via app or website and being required to email support or cancel bank mandates.

Documentation checklist
Essential documents to collect
- Subscription confirmation email or app store receipt showing transaction ID and date.
- Bank or card statement showing the charge you want to dispute or stop.
- Screenshot of subscription status in the app store (Subscriptions page) or Hoichoi account page.
Optional supporting evidence
- Email thread with Hoichoi support, including your cancellation request and any replies.
- Proof of attempted cancellation (screenshots), and UPI or bank mandate cancellation confirmation if applicable.
Common mistakes
Assuming cancellation equals refund
Many users expect an immediate refund after cancelling; Hoichoi’s policy does not provide refunds for mid-term cancellations.
Always check the billing cycle end date to understand how long access will remain after cancellation.
Not cancelling the payment mandate
When cancelling a direct web/UPI/card subscription, some users forget to cancel the bank auto-debit mandate and continue to be charged.
Always cancel the mandate separately through your bank or UPI app and keep confirmation.
