Frequently asked questions
Cancel Skinny: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel Skinny subscription in india and reclaim your rights
What is Skinny and why you might need to cancel
Skinny is a New Zealand-based broadband and mobile service provider that offers flexible internet plans, including pay-as-you-go options and recurring subscription models. If you subscribed to Skinny while residing in India or through a mobile app, you may have access to their services but face obstacles when you attempt to stop paying.
This guide helps you understand how to cancel Skinny, what to expect following cancellation, and how Indian consumer law protects you throughout the process. Yafee has assisted thousands of consumers in navigating cancellation for overseas-based services where billing occurs in Indian rupees (₹) but the provider operates internationally.
Whether you subscribed through the Skinny app, Google Play Store, Apple App Store, or directly via their website, this guide equips you with the knowledge and confidence to take decisive action.
Who this guide is for
This guide addresses people in India who have subscribed to Skinny services and now need to cancel their subscription, reclaim unused fees, or resolve billing disputes. It covers step-by-step cancellation instructions, refund rights under Indian consumer law, and practical traps to avoid.
Why people cancel Skinny in india
Common reasons include accidental subscriptions, unused or underutilised services, unexpected recurring charges, discovery of better alternatives, or the decision to reduce discretionary spending. Many Indian customers discover they have been charged in INR without realising the subscription remained active.
Pricing and available plans
Before you cancel, confirm which plan you own by checking your subscription status and payment history.
Skinny subscription plans and costs
The following table reflects reported plan names and prices from Indian app store listings and consumer billing records. You should confirm exact pricing in your purchase source before proceeding with cancellation.
| Plan name | Price (₹) | Billing period | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ad-free one month | ₹49 | Monthly | Ad-free access for 30 days |
| Yearly subscription (basic) | ₹599 | Annual | Full year of service access; billed once per year |
| Yearly subscription (standard) | ₹999 | Annual | Full year of service access; billed once per year |
| Fitivity premium | ₹199 | Monthly | Premium features; verify exact scope in your invoice |
| Lifetime premium subscription | ₹29,900 | One-time payment | Lifetime access; no recurring charges apply |
How to check which plan you own
Log into your Skinny account or mobile app and navigate to Settings or Account to view your subscription status. Cross-reference your payment history in your app store account (Google Play or Apple App Store) or your credit card or bank statement to confirm the exact plan name and amount charged.
You should take a screenshot of your plan details before you begin the cancellation process. Yafee recommends saving this as evidence in case a dispute arises with Skinny or your payment provider.
Your consumer rights when cancelling Skinny
Indian law provides robust protections when you cancel digital subscriptions, even when the service provider operates overseas.
Legal framework protecting your cancellation rights
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Information Technology Act, 2000 grant you specific rights to cancel digital services, request refunds for unused portions, and dispute wrongful charges. These laws apply to all Skinny subscriptions purchased by Indian residents, regardless of where Skinny operates or incorporates.
Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you have the right to cancel at any time, demand a refund if the service was not delivered as promised, and file a formal complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) if Skinny fails to respond to your cancellation request or refund claim within 30 days.
Your legal position
You are protected as a consumer under Indian law. Skinny cannot refuse to cancel your subscription or withhold a refund for unused service if you follow the correct cancellation procedure. If you paid for a monthly or annual plan and decide to cancel mid-cycle, Indian consumer law entitles you to a refund for the unused portion, calculated on a pro-rata basis. If Skinny refuses to comply or offers only store credit instead of a cash refund, you can escalate your complaint to the district consumer commission or file a complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority at ccpa.gov.in.
Step-by-step cancellation methods
You can cancel Skinny through several channels depending on how you subscribed initially. Follow the method that matches your subscription source.
Cancelling through the Skinny app or website
- Open the Skinny app or visit the Skinny website (if you subscribed directly).
- Log in using your registered email address and password.
- Navigate to your Account or Settings menu.
- Look for tabs labelled "Subscription", "Billing", or "My Plans".
- Select your active subscription.
- Review the plan name, renewal date, and amount charged.
- Tap or click "Cancel subscription" or "End service".
- Skinny may ask you to confirm cancellation or provide a reason.
- Select any reason from the dropdown menu, or skip this step if optional.
- Confirm your cancellation request.
- You will receive an on-screen confirmation immediately.
- Skinny will send a confirmation email to your registered address within 24 hours.
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation screen and save the confirmation email.
- This serves as evidence if you later need to dispute a charge or claim a refund.
Cancelling a google play store subscription
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Alternatively, visit play.google.com in your web browser.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Manage your Google Account".
- Go to the "Payments and subscriptions" tab.
- Tap "Manage subscriptions".
- Find and tap "Skinny" in the list of active subscriptions.
- If you see multiple Skinny subscriptions, cancel each one you want to stop.
- Tap "Cancel subscription".
- Google will ask if you want to continue or cancel; select "Cancel subscription" to confirm.
- Follow any additional prompts to complete the cancellation.
- Your subscription will end on the next billing date; you retain access until then.
- Take a screenshot showing the cancellation confirmation.
- Return to the Manage Subscriptions page within 5 minutes to confirm Skinny no longer appears or shows as "Expired".
Cancelling an apple app store subscription
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- For Mac, select System Settings or System Preferences depending on your macOS version.
- Tap your name at the top of the Settings screen.
- On Mac, select your Apple ID in System Settings.

- You will see all active subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Find and tap "Skinny" in your list of subscriptions.

- Take a screenshot as proof for your records.
Cancelling by contacting Skinny directly
If you cannot cancel through the app or app store, you must contact Skinny by email or post. Skinny does not maintain an India-based postal address; you must use their New Zealand address for written cancellation requests.
- Prepare a cancellation email or letter that includes:
- Your full name as registered with Skinny.
- Your email address linked to your Skinny account.
- Your subscription plan name and the amount charged (₹).
- Your most recent billing date and invoice number (if available).
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Skinny subscription effective today."
- Your preferred refund method (bank transfer, credit card reversal, or original payment method).
- Send your cancellation request by email to Skinny's customer support email address (verify the current address on the official Skinny website before sending).
- Use the subject line: "Subscription Cancellation Request - [Your Name]".
- Request read receipt or delivery confirmation to prove Skinny received your request.
- Alternatively, send a registered post letter to Skinny's New Zealand address:
- Skinny
Postal address: [Confirm current postal address on official Skinny website]
New Zealand - Send via India Post with Registered Post Acknowledgement (RPA) to obtain proof of delivery.
- Skinny
- Retain copies of your email or letter and any delivery receipts.
- If Skinny does not respond to your cancellation request within 7 working days, send a follow-up email.
Timeline and what to expect after cancellation
Understanding the cancellation process timeline helps you manage your expectations and identify if Skinny has failed to comply with your request.
What happens immediately after you cancel
Once you submit a cancellation request through the app or app store, Skinny will process your cancellation within 1 to 3 business days. Your subscription will end on the next scheduled billing date; you retain access to Skinny services until that date. For example, if you cancel on 15 January and your renewal date is 20 January, your access ends on 20 January at 23:59 IST.
Skinny will send you a cancellation confirmation email to your registered address. Yafee recommends you verify this email has arrived within 24 hours. If you do not receive a confirmation email, your cancellation may not have processed; you should attempt to cancel again or contact Skinny directly.
When you should receive your refund
If you paid for service in advance (for example, an annual plan or a multi-month subscription), Skinny must issue a pro-rata refund for the unused portion within 14 to 30 days of your cancellation date. The refund amount is calculated as follows: (Number of unused days ÷ Total days in billing period) × Amount paid.
Refunds are processed to your original payment method. If you paid via credit card or debit card, the refund appears as a credit on your next statement or bank transaction within 5 to 7 business days. If you paid via a digital wallet or app store account, the refund may appear as account credit rather than a cash reversal.
If no refund appears after 30 days
If 30 days have passed since your cancellation date and you have not received a refund, Yafee advises you to escalate your claim. Send a follow-up email to Skinny with copies of your cancellation confirmation and a detailed breakdown of the refund amount owed. Request a response within 7 days.
If Skinny does not respond or refuses to issue a refund, you can file a complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority at ccpa.gov.in or lodge a complaint with your state's district consumer commission. Include copies of all correspondence, payment receipts, and cancellation confirmations in your complaint.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling Skinny is straightforward if you avoid these pitfalls; you will protect your refund rights and leave no room for dispute.
Mistake 1: assuming deletion of the app cancels your subscription
Deleting the Skinny app from your phone does not cancel your subscription. Your subscription remains active and will continue to charge you on the renewal date. You must follow the app store cancellation process or cancel through the Skinny website directly. Verify cancellation has been processed by logging back into your app store account or the Skinny website.
Mistake 2: not taking screenshots or saving confirmation emails
Without proof of cancellation, Skinny can claim your request was never received if a billing dispute arises. You must take a screenshot of the on-screen cancellation confirmation and save all confirmation emails from Skinny. Store these files in a secure location (cloud storage, email folder, or printed copies).
Mistake 3: cancelling too close to your renewal date
If you cancel fewer than 24 hours before your renewal date, your payment may have already processed, and Skinny will not reverse the charge automatically. If this occurs, you must request a refund separately. To avoid this, cancel at least 48 hours before your renewal date.
Mistake 4: accepting app store credit instead of a cash refund
If Skinny or your app store offers to issue a refund as account credit rather than cash, you have the right under Indian consumer law to refuse and demand a cash refund to your original payment method. Write to Skinny and your app store provider (Google or Apple) explicitly requesting a cash refund and not store credit.
Mistake 5: not following up if the cancellation does not process
If your cancellation attempt fails (for example, you click "Cancel subscription" but receive an error message), repeat the process immediately. Attempt cancellation again within 1 hour. If the issue persists, contact Skinny by email and screenshot the error message to prove you attempted to cancel.
Claiming your refund
You are entitled to a refund for any unused service if you cancel mid-cycle; claim this refund proactively rather than waiting for Skinny to offer it.
How to calculate your refund
Use this formula to calculate the amount Skinny owes you: (Number of unused days ÷ Total days in your billing period) × Total amount paid for the period.
Example: You paid ₹999 for an annual Skinny subscription on 1 January. You cancel on 1 April (90 days into a 365-day year). Unused days = 365 - 90 = 275 days. Refund = (275 ÷ 365) × ₹999 = ₹752 (approximately).
How to request your refund from Skinny
- Send an email to Skinny's customer support address with the subject line "Refund Request - [Your Name] - [Subscription Plan]".
- Include your full name, registered email, and subscription plan details.
- State the dates you subscribed and cancelled.
- Provide your calculation of the refund amount owed.
- Attach a copy of your original payment receipt or invoice.
- Request refund via your original payment method (bank transfer to your account or credit card reversal).
- Request a response within 7 days.
- If Skinny does not respond within 7 days, send a follow-up email marked "URGENT - Second Notice".
- State that you are prepared to escalate to the consumer authority if the refund is not processed within 5 additional days.
- If Skinny still refuses or does not respond, file a complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority (ccpa.gov.in) or your state district consumer commission.
- Include all correspondence, payment receipts, cancellation confirmations, and your refund calculation.
- Request the consumer authority to order Skinny to pay your refund plus ₹500 to ₹1,000 as compensation for the delay and inconvenience.
If Skinny offers store credit or partial refund
You do not have to accept store credit or a partial refund. Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you are entitled to a full refund of the unused portion in cash. If Skinny refuses, inform them in writing: "I reject store credit and demand a full cash refund to my original payment method as per my rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Please process the refund within 7 days, or I will escalate this matter to the Central Consumer Protection Authority."
Comparison: keep vs. cancel Skinny
Before you finalize your cancellation, weigh the benefits of continuing your subscription against the cost.
| Factor | Keep Skinny | Cancel Skinny |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | ₹49 to ₹999 per month or year | No recurring charges; potential refund for unused service |
| Effort | No action needed | 5-10 minutes to cancel via app or app store |
| Best for | Active daily users | Inactive users or those seeking refunds |
| Refund opportunity | No refund; money spent | Yes; claim pro-rata refund for unused days |
| Future re-subscription | Plan remains active | Easy to resubscribe later if needed |
Contact information for disputes and escalation
If Skinny does not respond to your cancellation request or refund claim within the required timeframe, you have the right to escalate your complaint to consumer protection authorities.
How to file a complaint with the central consumer protection authority
Visit the official CCPA website at ccpa.gov.in and log in or register as a new user. Complete the online complaint form with the following details: your full name and contact information; Skinny's name and address (use their New Zealand headquarters address); a description of your issue (cancellation not processed or refund denied); dates of all communications; copies of your payment receipts, cancellation confirmations, and emails to Skinny; and the amount of money involved.
Yafee recommends attaching all supporting documents as PDFs. The CCPA will review your complaint and issue a summons to Skinny within 21 days. If Skinny fails to respond or does not comply with the CCPA's decision, the authority can issue an order for Skinny to pay your refund plus compensation.
Alternative: file with your state district consumer commission
If you prefer to proceed at the state level, visit your district consumer commission's office or website. Submit a written complaint in English or your regional language. Include the same documentation as above. The commission will hear your case within 30 to 60 days and issue an order if Skinny is found at fault.
Skinny's contact address for written cancellation
For postal cancellation requests, send your letter by Registered Post Acknowledgement (RPA) to the address confirmed on the official Skinny website. Confirm this address before you send your cancellation letter, as it may be updated. Yafee strongly advises using RPA to obtain proof of delivery in case a dispute arises.
Checklist: ensure your cancellation is complete
Before you consider your cancellation final, verify you have completed each step below.
- Submitted a cancellation request via the Skinny app, app store, or email.
- Received an on-screen or email confirmation of cancellation within 24 hours.
