How to cancel Cheq and stop CheQ assure charges in india
Understanding Cheq and why you might want to cancel
Cheq is a mobile-first financial platform designed to help you manage bills, track spending and earn rewards through everyday transactions. The core app operates free of charge, but Cheq also offers CheQ Assure, an optional monthly insurance add-on that provides cyber protection, medical cover and financial stability benefits. If you've activated CheQ Assure and no longer require the coverage, or if you want to reduce monthly expenses, cancellation follows a straightforward process. At Yafee, we guide thousands of Indian consumers through subscription cancellations each month, and Cheq is among the most frequently handled requests. Understanding your cancellation options and consumer protections will enable you to act quickly and with confidence.
What CheQ assure covers
CheQ Assure is a monthly insurance subscription you activate optionally within the Cheq application. Coverage includes cyber protection against online fraud, medical cover for emergency health situations and stability shield features designed to protect your financial wellbeing. At ₹50 per month, it is marketed as an affordable insurance layer, but remains entirely optional and not bundled with the core app. You retain full control over whether to maintain this subscription.
Why cancellation matters
Many users activate CheQ Assure during onboarding without fully understanding the ongoing commitment, or discover later that they do not use the insurance benefits. Because subscriptions renew automatically each month, charges accumulate if you lose track of the service. Stopping unwanted charges is your explicit consumer right, and Yafee exists to make that cancellation process transparent and straightforward for you.
Your consumer rights and legal protection in india
Indian consumer law provides specific protections when you deal with digital subscriptions and financial applications like Cheq.
Consumer protection act, 2019 protections
India's Consumer Protection Act, 2019 mandates that service providers must disclose pricing clearly, provide accessible cancellation mechanisms and honour your right to cancel without penalty after each billing period ends. Companies cannot use hidden fees, confusing interfaces or unresponsive support teams to trap you in subscriptions. If Cheq fails to honour these obligations, you have grounds to escalate your complaint to your state's Consumer Protection Authority. The legislation places the burden of transparency and cancellation ease on the service provider, not the consumer.
Your specific rights with digital subscriptions
You have the right to cancel a subscription within 14 days of purchase if you change your mind, under established consumer protection principles. You also have the right to receive a clear, written cancellation confirmation from Cheq. If you are charged after cancellation or if you request a refund, Cheq must respond within a reasonable timeframe, typically 5 to 7 business days. Yafee recommends saving all screenshots, confirmation IDs, payment receipts and communications with Cheq support as evidence if a dispute arises later.
Your legal position
You are protected under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Telecommunications (Management) Rules, 2022, which require digital service providers to offer transparent, easy cancellation. If Cheq refuses cancellation, charges you after you cancel or fails to provide written confirmation, you can file a complaint with your district Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission or escalate to your state's Consumer Protection Authority. Yafee can help you document your cancellation request with timestamped evidence.
Cancellation methods: choosing the right approach
You can cancel CheQ Assure through three primary routes, each suited to different billing scenarios.
Direct cancellation through the Cheq app
This is the fastest method because you receive instant confirmation and can see your subscription status updated in real time. Use this approach if you signed up for CheQ Assure directly within the Cheq app and your billing flows through Cheq's own payment gateway.
- Open the Cheq app on your mobile device and log in with your credentials.
- Navigate to the Settings or Account section, typically found in the bottom menu bar or top corner.
- Look for a "Subscriptions", "Billing" or "CheQ Assure" option.
- Locate CheQ Assure in your active subscriptions list.
- Select "Cancel Subscription" or "Stop Renewal" button.
- Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
- Cheq may offer a retention discount; you are under no obligation to accept this offer.
- Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation page, which displays your cancellation date and any refund details.
- Check your registered email address for a cancellation confirmation email from Cheq within 24 hours.
Cancellation via google play store or apple app store
If your CheQ Assure subscription was billed through the app store rather than directly by Cheq, you must cancel through the store's own subscription management portal. This method stops the charge at the billing source and prevents accidental renewal. You will see the subscription listed in your Play Store or App Store account rather than in the Cheq app itself.
- For Google Play Store subscriptions:
- Open Google Play Store on your Android device or visit play.google.com on a browser.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Manage subscriptions" or "Payments and subscriptions".
- Find CheQ Assure in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm your choice.
- Retain a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation, which shows your cancellation effective date.
- For Apple App Store subscriptions:
- Open the Apple App Store on your iOS device or visit appleid.apple.com on a browser.
- Tap your profile icon or account settings.
- Select "Subscriptions" or "View all" under subscriptions.
- Find CheQ Assure and tap on it.
- Select "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your choice.
- Retain a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page.
Support-based cancellation for unresponsive accounts
If your Cheq app does not load, freezes or does not display subscription settings, contact Cheq support directly via email or in-app messaging to cancel CheQ Assure. This route also applies if you have attempted cancellation through the app and received no confirmation within 48 hours.
- Locate Cheq's support contact details:
- Within the Cheq app, navigate to Settings or Help and tap "Contact Support".
- Alternatively, visit the registered office address at Gurgaon as listed in Cheq's official privacy policy.
- Send a cancellation request email or message with the following information:
- Your full name and registered mobile number associated with Cheq.
- Your account email address.
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my CheQ Assure subscription effective immediately."
- Your preferred date for cancellation (if after the current billing date).
- Request written confirmation of cancellation within 24 hours.
- Retain a copy of your email and any response from Cheq support as proof of your cancellation request.
Your cancellation timeline and what to expect
Understanding the timeline ensures you do not face unexpected charges after cancelling.
Immediate cancellation within your billing cycle
If you cancel CheQ Assure between the 1st and 30th of any month, your cancellation typically takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. You will not be charged for the next month, but you may retain access to CheQ Assure benefits until your billing cycle ends. For example, if you cancel on 15 August, your final charge occurred on 1 August and your cancellation effective date is 31 August.
Refund eligibility and timelines
If you cancel within 14 days of your initial purchase and have not used the service, you are entitled to a full refund under consumer protection principles. Cheq must process this refund within 5 to 7 business days. If you cancel after 14 days, you are entitled to a proportional refund for unused days within your current billing cycle, though Cheq may not process this automatically. You must request this refund in writing and provide evidence of your cancellation date.
Post-cancellation verification
After 48 hours of cancellation, verify that CheQ Assure no longer appears in your active subscriptions list within the Cheq app. Check your bank or card statements 5 to 7 days after your billing cycle end date to confirm no new charge has been applied. If you see a charge after your documented cancellation date, contact Cheq support immediately and file a chargeback or dispute with your bank if necessary.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few missteps can delay the process or leave you vulnerable to unexpected charges. Yafee has identified the most frequent mistakes to help you proceed with confidence.
Confusing app cancellation with account deletion
Cancelling CheQ Assure does not delete your Cheq account or remove your rewards balance. You retain access to the core app, your CheQ Chips rewards and all transaction history. If you intended to keep using Cheq but only wanted to stop the monthly insurance charge, confirm that your account remains active after cancellation.
Failing to document your cancellation request
Screenshots are your strongest evidence if a dispute arises. Always capture the cancellation confirmation screen, including the date and time displayed. If you cancel via email or support message, retain copies of both your request and Cheq's response. Without documentation, your claim for a refund or reversal becomes significantly harder to prove to your bank or a consumer authority.
Cancelling with an incorrect billing date assumption
Many users assume their subscription renews on the day they signed up. Your actual billing date may differ; check the Cheq app or your bank statement to confirm the exact date your monthly charge occurs. Cancelling on the wrong date may leave you liable for one additional charge.
Not monitoring your account after cancellation
A small percentage of subscriptions fail to cancel due to technical glitches or support delays. Check your bank or card statement 5 to 7 days after your billing cycle end date to confirm no charge has been applied. If you see an unexpected charge, contact Cheq support immediately and initiate a chargeback with your bank if Cheq does not reverse it within 48 hours.
Refunds and dispute resolution for Cheq charges
If you are charged after cancellation or believe Cheq has failed to honour your cancellation request, you have multiple recovery options.
Direct refund request through Cheq support
Contact Cheq support within 30 days of an unwanted charge and request a refund. Provide your cancellation confirmation (screenshot or email evidence) and the transaction reference number from your bank statement. Cheq support must respond within 5 to 7 business days and either reverse the charge or explain why they cannot. If they refuse without legitimate reason, escalate to the consumer authority.
Bank chargeback and dispute process
If Cheq does not refund you within 7 days, contact your bank or credit card issuer and initiate a chargeback dispute. Provide your bank with: (i) proof of your cancellation request, (ii) the unwanted charge on your statement, and (iii) evidence that Cheq ignored your refund request. Your bank typically investigates and reverses the charge within 15 to 30 days if your case is strong.
Consumer protection authority complaint
If Cheq refuses to refund and your bank does not act, file a formal complaint with your district Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission or state Consumer Protection Authority. Yafee recommends including: your account details, all cancellation and refund request documentation, copies of bank statements showing unwanted charges, and details of any failed support interactions. The authority can order Cheq to refund you and may impose penalties on Cheq for unfair practice.
After cancellation: what happens to your Cheq account
Once you cancel CheQ Assure, your account and rewards remain intact, but some features change immediately.
Access to your CheQ chips rewards
Your accumulated CheQ Chips rewards do not expire when you cancel CheQ Assure. You retain full access to your rewards balance and can redeem points within the app. The core rewards programme remains free and active regardless of your insurance subscription status.
Loss of CheQ assure coverage
Your cyber protection, medical cover and stability shield benefits cease at the end of your final billing cycle. If you have a pending claim, submit it before the cancellation date takes effect. Claims submitted after cancellation may be rejected, so verify any active or pending claims in the app before confirming cancellation.
Account access and data retention
You can continue using the Cheq app, managing bills, tracking spending and earning rewards. Cheq retains your transaction history and personal data in accordance with its privacy policy, typically for 7 years for regulatory compliance. You can request data deletion or account closure separately if desired; this is a distinct process from CheQ Assure cancellation.

If your bank already provides free cyber fraud protection and you do not actively use medical or stability features, cancelling CheQ Assure and retaining the free core Cheq app is financially sensible. If you value integrated protection and use Cheq heavily for bill management, keeping the subscription may justify the ₹50 monthly cost.
For postal correspondence or formal cancellation notices, use the following details drawn from Cheq's official privacy policy and terms of service.
Registered office address
Cheq
Registered Office
Gurgaon, Haryana
India
Use this address for formal cancellation requests, dispute notices or registered mail if you require documented proof of communication.
Corporate office location
Cheq
Corporate Office
Bangalore, Karnataka
India
This is Cheq's operational headquarters; support requests sent here may take longer to process than requests submitted through the app or official support channels.
In-app support and email channels
The fastest route to cancellation remains through the Cheq app's built-in support feature. For email-based requests, access the app's Help or Settings section to retrieve the official support email address. Yafee recommends always copying both the app support address and, as a backup, sending a formal cancellation notice to the registered office via registered mail if in-app or email cancellation fails.
