How to cancel 1Mg subscriptions, orders and medical tests in india
Why you might cancel 1Mg and what your options are
1Mg is India's largest digital health and wellness platform, delivering medicines, diagnostic tests, and subscription care plans to your doorstep. The service spans pharmacy, pathology labs, and health memberships, making routine wellness accessible and convenient. However, if a subscription no longer serves your needs, an order arrives damaged, or a diagnostic test doesn't fit your schedule, you deserve a straightforward cancellation process without friction.
At Yafee, we recognise that health service cancellations carry unique complexity because they involve medical records, refund timelines, and recurring charges that can spiral if left unchecked. This guide breaks down every cancellation path on 1Mg, from stopping auto-renewal to requesting refunds for medicines, tests, and membership plans. We ground each step in Indian consumer law, so you understand both your rights and the practical procedure.
The three service types you can cancel
1Mg operates three distinct service lines, each with separate cancellation terms. First, pharmacy orders for medicines and health products delivered within 24-48 hours. Second, diagnostic tests with home sample collection and digital pathology reports. Third, subscription plans including 1Mg Plus memberships, wellness packages, and care plans ranging from ₹49 to ₹929 per month or year. Understanding which service you're cancelling determines your refund window and the steps you follow.
Your legal position under indian consumer protection law
Indian law grants you explicit cancellation and refund rights regardless of the service type.
Auto-renewal and subscription protection under the consumer protection act
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (CPA) mandates that 1Mg obtain your explicit, informed consent before charging you for auto-renewal. If the platform charged you without clear affirmative consent each billing cycle, you have grounds to dispute the charge and demand a refund. Furthermore, the CPA grants you the right to cancel any subscription within 30 days of purchase, even if you've already used the service. In accordance with this framework, you can also raise a chargeback through your bank if 1Mg refuses to reverse an unauthorised debit.
Yafee recommends saving all email confirmations of your subscription consent. These act as proof of affirmative agreement and strengthen your position if a dispute arises.
Refund rights for damaged, expired or delayed services
Under the CPA, if you receive expired, damaged, or incorrectly dispensed medicines, you're entitled to a full refund or replacement. For diagnostic tests delayed beyond the promised 72-hour reporting window, you can request a refund or partial refund if the delay was unjustified. The CPA also protects you against hidden charges; if 1Mg adds fees to your cancellation, those fees are likely unenforceable. Consequently, photograph damaged items, retain all receipts, and note delivery dates-these documents form your legal evidence if you escalate to the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) or your state consumer commission.
How to cancel pharmacy orders before delivery
Cancelling an order before it ships is the fastest and most reliable method, typically resulting in a full refund within 7-14 days.
Step 1: access your orders via the 1Mg app or website
- Open the 1Mg mobile app or visit 1mg.com on your browser and log into your account with your registered email or phone number.
- Locate your orders section:
- On the app: Tap the "Orders" or "My Orders" icon at the bottom navigation bar.
- On the website: Click your profile icon (top right corner), then select "My Orders" from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: identify the order to cancel
- Scroll through your order list and find the pharmacy order with a status of "Pending", "Processing", or "Ready to Ship".
- Note: Once an order enters "Out for Delivery" or "Delivered" status, you can no longer cancel through the app. Contact support immediately if you need to refuse or return a delivered order.
Step 3: initiate the cancellation
- Tap or click on the order to open the order details page.
- Look for a red "Cancel Order" button or a three-dot menu icon with a cancel option.
- Tap or click "Cancel Order" and select your cancellation reason from the dropdown (e.g., "Changed my mind", "Ordered by mistake", "Found better price elsewhere").
- Review the cancellation summary and tap or click "Confirm Cancellation" to finalise.
Step 4: verify cancellation and refund status
- You'll receive an in-app notification within seconds and an email confirmation within 5-10 minutes. The order status will change to "Cancelled".
- Monitor your original payment method (debit card, credit card, or wallet). Refunds typically process within 7-14 working days, depending on your bank's processing speed.
What to do if the cancel button is missing
If you cannot see a cancel button, your order has likely already shipped or entered the delivery phase. Contact 1Mg customer support immediately through the in-app chat feature (fastest response) or call their helpline. Provide your order number and request cancellation at the delivery stage. If the courier has not yet arrived, 1Mg can redirect the shipment back to their warehouse and process a refund. Save all communication with support as evidence of your cancellation request.
How to cancel diagnostic test bookings
Diagnostic test cancellations depend on the appointment date and whether your sample has already been collected.
Step 1: open the 1Mg app and find your test booking
- Log into 1Mg and tap "My Tests" or "Diagnostic Tests" in the main menu.
- Locate the test appointment you wish to cancel. The appointment must show "Scheduled" or "Pending Pickup" status.
Step 2: cancel if the appointment is more than 24 hours away
- If your appointment is scheduled more than 24 hours in the future, you can self-cancel through the app.
- Tap the test booking and select "Cancel Test" or a similar button.
- Choose a cancellation reason and confirm.
- Yafee advises noting the timestamp of your cancellation confirmation, as this protects you if 1Mg attempts to process a late charge.
Step 3: request a refund for cancelled diagnostic tests
- Once you've confirmed the cancellation, 1Mg will issue a refund to your original payment method within 5-7 working days.
- If your cancellation was within 24 hours of the appointment, contact support to request a partial or full refund, depending on 1Mg's cancellation policy at the time of booking.
If the sample has already been collected
If a phlebotomist has already collected your blood sample or tissue sample, cancellation becomes more complex. Contact 1Mg support immediately and explain your situation. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, if the test was performed without your consent or if you've withdrawn consent before the report was generated, you can demand a refund. The CPA treats medical services seriously; 1Mg cannot legally charge you for a test you explicitly cancelled before the final report was issued. Escalate to the CCPA if 1Mg refuses.
How to cancel 1Mg subscription and membership plans
Subscription cancellations require stopping auto-renewal and often involve navigating refund eligibility based on plan type and duration.
Step 1: access subscription settings in your account
- Log into 1Mg and tap your profile icon (bottom right on the app or top right on the website).
- Select "Subscriptions", "My Memberships", or "Active Plans" from the menu.
- You'll see a list of all active subscriptions, including 1Mg Plus, care plans, and wellness packages.
Step 2: identify the subscription to cancel
- Review each subscription's start date, renewal date, and plan amount.
- Note the number of days remaining until the next auto-renewal charge.
Step 3: turn off auto-renewal
- Tap or click the subscription you wish to cancel.
- Select "Cancel Subscription", "Turn Off Auto-Renewal", or "Manage Subscription".
- 1Mg will ask you to confirm that you understand your access will end after the current billing period expires. Confirm the cancellation.
- You'll receive an in-app notification and email confirming that auto-renewal has been disabled.
Step 4: verify the cancellation took effect
- Return to your subscriptions list. The status of your cancelled subscription should now display "Expires on [date]" or "Final billing [date]".
- Set a phone reminder for 2-3 days before the expiry date to confirm that 1Mg does not charge you again.
- If an unexpected charge appears after cancellation, contact your bank immediately to raise a chargeback while also notifying 1Mg support.
Refund eligibility for subscriptions
The CPA grants you a 30-day cancellation window from the date of purchase, even if you've already used the subscription benefits. If you cancel within this window, you're entitled to a pro-rata refund based on the unused portion of your plan. For example, if you paid ₹499 for a 12-month plan but cancelled after 3 months, you can claim a refund for 9 months of unused service (approximately ₹374). After 30 days, refund eligibility depends on 1Mg's terms. Nevertheless, if 1Mg has charged you for auto-renewal without explicit consent each time, you retain the right to dispute those charges under the CPA, regardless of the cancellation date.

How to track your refund
- After you cancel, 1Mg should send you a refund confirmation email with a refund reference number and expected processing date.
- Log into your bank or payment app and check your transaction history. Look for a credit or reversal against your original payment.
- If you paid by credit or debit card, the refund may appear as a "pending credit" for 2-5 days before clearing.
- If you paid via a digital wallet (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), the refund typically reaches your wallet within 24-48 hours.
- If the refund doesn't appear within the promised timeline, contact 1Mg support with your cancellation reference number and request a status update.
Refund status check directly with 1Mg
- Open the 1Mg app and navigate to "Orders" or "My Account".
- Find the cancelled order or subscription and tap it to view detailed refund status.
- If the status shows "Refund Initiated" or "Refund Pending", note the expected date.
- If more than 14 days have passed since cancellation and you haven't received the refund, escalate to 1Mg support via in-app chat with screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and bank statements showing the original charge.
Common mistakes that delay or prevent cancellation
Cancellation delays often stem from avoidable errors; Yafee has seen thousands of users regain control of their accounts by sidestepping these pitfalls.
Attempting to cancel after the order has shipped
Once 1Mg dispatches your order, the cancellation button disappears from the app. Many users don't realise this and waste hours looking for the cancel option. If your order has entered the delivery stage, contact support immediately-do not wait for the order to arrive. Support can sometimes intercept packages at the courier facility if you act fast enough. Save the chat transcript as proof of your timely cancellation request.
Relying on email to 1Mg support for urgent cancellations
Email support for 1Mg can take 24-72 hours to respond, during which your order may already be delivered. Use the in-app chat feature instead; response times are typically under 2 hours. If chat is unavailable, call their customer service number directly. Document the date, time, and support representative's name for every interaction.
Forgetting to turn off auto-renewal after the trial period
The CPA requires explicit consent for auto-renewal, but many users miss 1Mg's notifications and wake up to an unexpected charge. Set a calendar reminder 2-3 days before your trial ends. Visit the subscription page even if you plan to keep the service, just to confirm that auto-renewal is set correctly and you know the exact renewal date.
Cancelling but not verifying that charges have stopped
Some users cancel a subscription but don't check their bank statements after the final billing date. Consequently, they miss fraudulent repeat charges that occur weeks later. Check your account 3-5 days after your subscription's stated expiry date. If you spot an unexpected charge, contact your bank and 1Mg support simultaneously.
Providing incomplete information to support
When you contact 1Mg support about a cancellation issue, always include: your order number, the date of purchase, the amount paid, your registered email, and a clear description of the problem. Vague complaints ("My order didn't cancel") lead to slower resolutions. Specific, detailed requests ("Order #123456789 placed on 15 November 2024 for ₹599 was not cancelled despite my app request on 16 November; refund status shows pending") trigger faster action.
What happens after your cancellation is confirmed
Once you've received a cancellation confirmation from 1Mg, several processes unfold in the background; understanding the timeline helps you know when to follow up if something stalls.
Immediate actions (within 24 hours)
- 1Mg processes your cancellation request and updates the order or subscription status in their system.
- If the order hasn't shipped, 1Mg flags it to cancel and prevents the warehouse from picking and packing your items.
- You receive an in-app notification and email confirmation with a cancellation reference number.
Refund initiation (24-72 hours)
- 1Mg's finance team initiates the refund to your original payment method.
- For subscription refunds, they calculate the pro-rata amount based on your cancellation date and plan duration.
- You'll see a second email from 1Mg confirming "Refund Initiated" with an expected credit date.
Bank processing (3-14 days)
- Your bank or payment provider receives the refund request from 1Mg.
- Processing times vary by institution: HDFC, ICICI, and Axis Bank typically credit within 3-5 days; smaller banks or cooperative banks may take 7-14 days.
- Digital wallet refunds (Google Pay, PhonePe) usually appear within 24-48 hours.
Verification and follow-up
- Log into your bank account 2-3 days after the expected refund date to confirm the credit has appeared.
- If the refund is late, contact 1Mg with your refund reference number and ask for clarification on the bank's end.
- If 1Mg cannot provide a refund reference, escalate the issue to the consumer authority.

Pro-rata refund calculation: Divide the total plan cost by the number of days in the billing period, then multiply by the number of unused days. For example, a ₹499 annual plan cancelled after 90 days leaves 275 unused days. Refund = (₹499 ÷ 365) × 275 = approximately ₹375.
If 1Mg refuses to process your cancellation or delays your refund beyond the promised timeline, you have legal recourse through consumer authorities. Here's how to escalate.
First step: contact 1Mg directly
- In-app chat: Open 1Mg, tap your profile, select "Help & Support", and initiate a live chat. Response time is typically 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Email: Contact their customer care team at the address listed on their website under "Contact Us". Response time is 24-72 hours.
- Phone: 1Mg operates a helpline; the number is displayed in the app under "Customer Support". Call during business hours (09:00 to 21:00 IST, Monday to Sunday).
- Postal address for formal complaints: Send a registered letter to Tata 1mg's corporate office:
Tata 1mg Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
Plot No. 82, Institutional Area,
Sector 44, Gurugram 122003,
Haryana, India.
Second step: escalate to the consumer authority if 1Mg doesn't respond
If 1Mg fails to address your complaint within 30 days, you can file a complaint with your state's Consumer Protection Authority. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you can approach the state commission if the amount in dispute is between ₹1 lakh and ₹10 lakhs. For amounts above ₹10 lakhs, file with the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC). The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) also investigates unfair trade practices, such as forced auto-renewal without consent. Include all documentation: cancellation confirmations, email exchanges with 1Mg, bank statements, and proof of non-receipt of refund.
Third step: raise a chargeback with your bank
If 1Mg has charged you without authorisation (e.g., auto-renewal after you cancelled), contact your bank and initiate a chargeback. Provide the bank with your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Your bank will freeze the disputed amount and investigate. Most banks resolve chargeback disputes within 45-60 days in your favour if you have clear cancellation proof.
