Frequently asked questions
Cancel Staysure: The Right Way to Get Your Refund
How to cancel Staysure travel insurance and claim your refund in india
What Staysure is and why you might cancel
Staysure is a travel insurance provider that offers comprehensive medical cover, trip cancellation protection, baggage cover, and travel delay compensation. The company specialises in policies for travellers of all ages, including those with pre-existing medical conditions that mainstream insurers often exclude or load heavily.
You purchase Staysure cover either as a single-trip policy or as an annual multi-trip plan, sold online and through authorised agents across India. If your circumstances change-your trip is postponed, you've found cheaper alternative cover, or you discover you're already covered through a workplace or credit card policy-you have enforceable legal rights to cancel and reclaim your premium. Understanding those rights and the exact procedural steps to exercise them is essential, and Yafee has guided thousands of Indian consumers through travel insurance cancellations precisely like yours.
Common reasons to cancel Staysure
Travellers typically cancel Staysure for three reasons. First, trip postponement or cancellation due to bereavement, sudden illness, or job loss. Second, finding cheaper alternative cover after purchasing. Third, discovering existing coverage through an employer, professional body, or credit card issuer. Each reason carries different refund implications, which Yafee will address in detail below.
Coverage Staysure provides
Staysure's policies include medical expense cover (including emergency dental and optical), trip cancellation and curtailment protection, baggage and personal possessions cover, travel delay compensation, and cancellation due to pre-existing medical conditions. The explicit acceptance of pre-declared medical conditions is a key selling point for older or health-conscious travellers, but it also shapes how cancellations are handled if you later dispute coverage.
Your consumer rights when cancelling Staysure
India's insurance and consumer protection laws grant you enforceable rights that Staysure cannot ignore, regardless of what their standard policy terms state.
The 14-day cooling-off period
Under the Insurance Act, 1938 and the standard insurance policy terms approved by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), you have 14 days from the date you receive your policy documents to cancel without penalty and receive a full premium refund. This is your strongest legal position. You do not need to provide a reason; you simply must not have travelled or claimed on the policy during this window.
During the 14-day period, Staysure may deduct only small administrative charges explicitly disclosed in your policy schedule or the Insurance Statement of Facts. The vast majority of your premium must be returned. If Staysure refuses to refund you in full (minus disclosed admin fees only), you can escalate immediately to the Insurance Ombudsman of India without cost.
Cancellation rights after 14 days
After the cooling-off period closes, your right to cancel depends on your circumstances. If your trip is cancelled due to unforeseen hardship-bereavement, sudden serious illness, unexpected job loss-you have grounds to request a refund based on exceptional circumstances. Staysure is not obligated to grant these automatically, but you retain the legal right to lodge a formal complaint with the Insurance Ombudsman of India if the company refuses unreasonably.
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 empowers Indian consumers to challenge unfair cancellation practices. If Staysure applies disproportionate penalties, refuses a claim for which you have reasonable grounds, or treats your cancellation request unfairly, the Ombudsman will review your case at no cost to you.
Protection for pre-existing medical conditions
If Staysure cancels your policy or denies a claim citing failure to disclose a pre-existing condition, you have a right to challenge this on grounds of proportionality. The insurer must prove the condition was deliberately concealed and material to the risk; a simple omission is often insufficient for outright rejection under Indian law. Yafee recommends documenting all medical declarations you made at purchase and retaining copies of any correspondence with Staysure on this topic.
How to cancel your Staysure policy
Staysure offers three formal cancellation pathways; selecting the correct one ensures your cancellation is recorded and dated properly, which is critical for triggering refund eligibility.
Step 1: identify your cancellation method
- Online cancellation form
- Log into your Staysure account on their website or mobile app.
- Locate the "Manage My Policy" or "Cancel Policy" section.
- Complete the online cancellation form with your policy number, email address, and reason for cancellation.
- Submit the form and retain a screenshot or confirmation number.
- Written cancellation letter
- Compose a formal letter stating your policy number, full name, date of birth, and cancellation request date.
- Include your reason for cancellation and request confirmation of cancellation and refund.
- Send the letter by registered post or courier to Staysure's registered office address (see final section).
- Retain a copy and the postal receipt as proof of posting.
- Telephone cancellation
- Call Staysure's customer service line and request cancellation.
- Record the date, time, name of the representative, and any reference number provided.
- Request that Staysure send you written confirmation of cancellation by email within 2 business days.
- Follow up with an email summarising the call and requesting written confirmation.
Yafee strongly recommends the written letter method because it creates an irrefutable date and record that Staysure cannot dispute later. Email is acceptable if you request a read receipt and ask for written confirmation within 48 hours.
Step 2: provide your policy number and personal details
Your cancellation request must include your full policy number (found on your policy schedule), your full name as it appears on the policy, date of birth, and email address. Providing incomplete information delays processing and may be used by Staysure to claim your request was unclear. Yafee advises including a clear statement: "I hereby request cancellation of my Staysure policy effective immediately."
Step 3: state your reason (optional but recommended)
You are not required to provide a reason if you are within the 14-day cooling-off period. However, if you are cancelling after 14 days due to hardship (bereavement, serious illness, job loss), state this clearly. A clear reason strengthens your position if Staysure later refuses a refund and you escalate to the Insurance Ombudsman.
Step 4: confirm receipt and obtain written confirmation
Within 2 business days of submitting your cancellation request, Staysure must acknowledge receipt. Follow up by email or phone if you do not receive confirmation. Request a cancellation confirmation letter that includes the cancellation date, your policy number, and the expected refund amount and timeline. Do not accept verbal confirmation alone; insist on written documentation.
Step 5: track your refund
Staysure must process your refund within 10 business days of confirming cancellation. The refund will be credited to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or bank account). If you do not receive the refund within 10 business days, send Staysure a formal written reminder by registered post or email, citing the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Insurance Act, 1938. If Staysure delays beyond 15 business days without explanation, lodge a complaint with the Insurance Ombudsman of India immediately.
Your refund: timelines and deductions
Your refund eligibility and amount depend on when you cancel and whether you have travelled or claimed.
Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel within 14 days of receiving your policy documents, you are entitled to a refund of your full premium minus only the administrative charges explicitly disclosed in your policy schedule (typically INR 100-500). Staysure cannot deduct any other amount. If the company refuses, you can escalate immediately to the Insurance Ombudsman without cost.
Refunds after 14 days (if no claim made)
If you cancel after 14 days but have not travelled or claimed, Staysure will deduct a proportionate premium for the period you were covered, plus administrative charges. For example, if you cancel 60 days into a 365-day annual policy, Staysure will refund approximately 60% of your premium minus admin fees. The exact calculation depends on your policy terms, so request an itemised refund calculation from Staysure in writing.
Refunds if you have travelled or claimed
If you have already travelled or made a claim on the policy, you are not entitled to a refund of any premium. You have received the benefit of cover, and cancellation simply means Staysure will not renew or extend your cover.
| Scenario | Refund entitlement | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Cancel within 14 days, no travel or claim | Full premium minus admin fees (typically INR 100-500) | 10 business days |
| Cancel after 14 days, no travel or claim | Pro-rata refund minus admin fees (e.g., 60% if 60 days remain) | 10 business days |
| Cancel after 14 days due to hardship | Negotiable; escalate to Ombudsman if refused | 10-15 business days (dispute) |
| Cancel if you have travelled or claimed | No refund; cover expires on cancellation date | N/A |
| Cancel if claim is pending | No refund; Staysure may withhold pending claim outcome | Varies (claim processing) |
| Cancel within 14 days (standard rate policy) | Full refund minus admin charges only | 10 business days |
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling travel insurance is straightforward once you know the rules, and Yafee has seen countless consumers successfully reclaim their premiums by avoiding these pitfalls.
Mistake 1: cancelling verbally without written confirmation
If you cancel by phone but do not request written confirmation, Staysure may later claim they never received a cancellation request. Always insist on written confirmation by email within 2 business days. If Staysure refuses or delays, send a follow-up email yourself summarising the phone call and requesting confirmation. This creates a paper trail that protects you.
Mistake 2: missing the 14-day deadline without understanding the consequences
If you miss the 14-day cooling-off period by even one day, your refund drops from full (minus admin) to pro-rata. If you realise you want to cancel, act within the 14-day window. Yafee recommends setting a reminder on your phone for day 12 if you are unsure.
Mistake 3: failing to provide your policy number or incomplete personal details
Staysure uses your policy number to locate your account quickly. If you do not provide it, processing delays, and Staysure may use this as an excuse to claim your request was unclear. Always include your full policy number, full name, date of birth, and email address in every communication.
Mistake 4: not requesting an itemised refund calculation
When cancelling after 14 days, request a written breakdown of your refund showing the gross premium, deducted period, admin charges, and net refund amount. This prevents Staysure from deducting unauthorised charges later. If the calculation looks wrong, challenge it in writing immediately.
Mistake 5: accepting delays beyond 10 business days without escalation
Staysure must refund you within 10 business days. If 15 business days pass without a refund, do not wait passively. Send a formal reminder by registered post citing the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the IRDAI guidelines, and warn Staysure that you will escalate to the Insurance Ombudsman of India if the refund is not processed within 5 further business days. This threat typically triggers immediate action.
What to do after your cancellation is confirmed
Once Staysure confirms your cancellation, you are no longer covered and cannot file claims on that policy. Yafee advises taking these steps immediately to protect yourself.
Retain all cancellation documentation
Keep the cancellation confirmation letter, emails, and postal receipts for at least 3 years. If Staysure later disputes your refund or you need to escalate to the Insurance Ombudsman, these documents are your proof that cancellation was processed.
Monitor your bank account for the refund
Watch your original payment method (credit or debit card, bank account) for the refund within 10 business days. If the refund does not appear, contact your bank to confirm the transaction was not rejected or reversed. If Staysure fails to process the refund, you will need proof of this when escalating to the Ombudsman.
If you are travelling, arrange alternative cover immediately
If your cancellation means you are no longer insured and your trip is still approaching, arrange alternative travel insurance urgently. Do not travel uninsured, as you will have no medical or trip cover if an emergency occurs. Yafee recommends comparing providers on comparison websites or contacting a travel insurance broker for quick quotes.
Escalate if refund is delayed or refused
If Staysure refuses your refund or delays beyond 15 business days, lodge a formal complaint with the Insurance Ombudsman of India. You can file a complaint online at www.ombudsman.ind.in or in writing. The Ombudsman will investigate at no cost to you and can award compensation if Staysure has acted unfairly. The process typically takes 30-60 days.
If Staysure refuses to refund you
Staysure may refuse a refund citing policy terms, or may claim you have already travelled or claimed. If this happens, you have a formal escalation pathway.
Your legal position
Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, unfair contract terms-including disproportionate cancellation penalties-are voidable if they are not transparent, are not negotiated individually, and cause a significant imbalance in the parties' rights. If Staysure's cancellation charges or refund calculation appear excessive or unfair, you can challenge them. Furthermore, if Staysure cancels your policy or refuses a claim on grounds of non-disclosure of a medical condition, the insurer must prove the condition was deliberately concealed; mere omission is often insufficient.
Request written reasons for refusal
If Staysure refuses your refund, demand a written explanation citing the specific policy clause and reason. Do not accept vague responses. If the reason relates to a pre-existing condition, request copies of all medical declarations you made at purchase and any medical information the insurer relied on in refusing the refund.
Lodge a complaint with the insurance ombudsman of india
If Staysure refuses to budge, file a formal complaint with the Insurance Ombudsman of India online at www.ombudsman.ind.in or in writing. Include copies of your cancellation request, Staysure's refusal letter, and any relevant policy documents. The Ombudsman is free and will investigate your complaint within 30-60 days. If the Ombudsman finds in your favour, Staysure must comply with the award.
Escalate to the consumer disputes redressal commission (if needed)
If the Ombudsman's decision is unsatisfactory or if Staysure refuses to comply, you can escalate to the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in your jurisdiction. This is a formal legal process, and you may want to consult a consumer law specialist, but it is a powerful tool if Staysure has genuinely acted unfairly.
Key checklist before and after cancellation
Yafee has created this checklist to ensure you cancel Staysure correctly and protect your refund claim.
| Action | Timing | Why it matters |

| Request written cancellation confirmation within 2 business days | After submitting cancellation | Protects you if Staysure later denies receiving your request |

| Monitor your bank account for refund | Within 10 business days of confirmation | Allows you to escalate quickly if refund is delayed |
| File complaint with Insurance Ombudsman if refund is refused or delayed beyond 15 business days | 15+ business days after confirmation (if no refund) | Free, independent investigation by regulator |
