Frequently asked questions
Cancel Viu: The Right Way to End Your Subscription
How to cancel Viu in india: complete legal guide and your consumer rights
Understanding Viu and your subscription agreement
Viu is a subscription-based streaming platform operated by Viu International Ltd, delivering Asian dramas, Bollywood films, regional Indian cinema, variety shows, and music videos to your device. In India, Viu Premium costs ₹99 per month, providing ad-free playback, offline downloads, and access to approximately 17,000 hours of curated content. Your subscription renews automatically every 30 days unless you cancel, and your payment method is charged on each renewal date. Whether you've completed your binge-watch list, discovered an alternative streaming service, or encountered billing issues, cancellation is your right under Indian consumer law. Yafee guides you through your cancellation options, your legal protections, and the procedural steps to terminate your subscription cleanly.
What Viu premium includes and why you subscribed
Viu Premium removes all advertisements from your viewing experience, permits you to download eligible titles for offline playback, and grants unlimited access to a rotating catalogue. Your watch history syncs across devices, allowing you to resume playback seamlessly. Most subscribers in India choose Viu for exclusive Korean drama content, blockbuster Bollywood films, and regional Indian cinema unavailable on competing platforms. If your viewing habits have changed or your content preferences have shifted, cancellation restores your discretionary spending.
When cancellation makes financial sense
Cancel Viu if you have not opened the application within 30 days, if you subscribe to overlapping streaming services with similar content, or if automatic charges persist despite your attempts to stop them. Cancel also if you are charged immediately following a billing error or if Viu's content library no longer aligns with your entertainment preferences. Yafee recommends reviewing your subscription status quarterly to identify unused services and reclaim unnecessary monthly expenditure.
Viu subscription pricing and your billing cycle
Viu maintains a single subscription tier for Indian consumers, with pricing fixed at ₹99 per calendar month.
| Plan | Monthly cost | Billing frequency | Core features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Viu Premium | ₹99 | Every 30 days | Ad-free streaming, offline downloads, 17,000+ hours, unlimited access |
| Viu Free | ₹0 | N/A | Ad-supported streaming, no offline access, limited catalogue |
No annual prepayment option or multi-tier pricing structure has been publicly announced for India. Your subscription renews automatically on the same calendar day each month. Payment is deducted from your linked payment method (Google Play, Apple App Store, or credit/debit card) without manual intervention.
Where your payment is processed and how that affects cancellation
Your cancellation method depends entirely on where you initiated your subscription. If you signed up via Google Play Store (Android devices), you must cancel through Google Play. If you subscribed via Apple App Store (iOS devices), you must cancel through Apple's subscription management portal. If you registered directly on Viu's website using a credit or debit card, you cancel through Viu's account settings or customer support. Cancelling in the wrong location will not terminate your subscription, and your payment will continue automatically. Yafee emphasises that platform-specific cancellation is mandatory; no cross-platform cancellation exists.
How to cancel Viu on android via google play
If you subscribed through the Google Play Store on an Android device, follow these steps to cancel your subscription immediately.
Step one: open google play and verify your account login
Launch the Google Play Store application on the Android device where you originally subscribed to Viu. If you are using a different device, your subscription may not appear. Tap your profile icon in the top right corner of the screen. Sign in using the same Google account linked to your Viu subscription if you are not already logged in. Verify that the email address displayed matches the account associated with your billing payment.
Step two: navigate to your subscriptions list
From your profile menu, select "Payments and subscriptions" (listed under "Account" or within "Manage your Google account"). Tap "Subscriptions" to display all active subscriptions tied to your Google account. Inactive or expired subscriptions will not appear in this list. Scroll down to locate "Viu" among your active subscriptions.
Step three: select Viu and initiate cancellation
Tap "Viu" to open your subscription details. Review your next billing date and current subscription status. Tap "Cancel subscription" to begin the cancellation process. Google Play will display your cancellation summary and may offer a promotional discount to retain you. Decline the retention offer if you are certain you wish to cancel.
Step four: confirm and complete your cancellation
Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm your cancellation. Google Play will display a confirmation message stating your subscription has been cancelled. You may receive an email confirmation from Google Play within 24 hours. Your access to Viu Premium will continue until the end of your current billing cycle; you will not lose access immediately upon cancellation.
How to cancel Viu on iOS via apple app store
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store on an iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's subscription management system, not through Viu itself.
Step one: open settings and navigate to your apple ID
On your iOS device, open the Settings application. Tap your name at the top of the Settings menu. Select "Subscriptions" from the list of options. If you do not see this option, your device may be running an outdated iOS version; update to the latest version before proceeding.
Step two: locate and select your Viu subscription
Your active subscriptions will display in chronological order. Find "Viu" in the list and tap it to open your subscription details. Your next billing date will be displayed prominently. Review the amount that will be charged and the renewal date before proceeding.
Step three: tap cancel subscription and confirm
Tap "Cancel subscription" or "Cancel free trial" depending on your subscription status. Apple will present a final confirmation screen explaining the consequences of cancellation. Tap "Confirm" or "Yes, cancel" to finalize your cancellation. Apple will send you an email confirmation from Apple Support within one business day.
Step four: verify cancellation in your settings
Return to your Subscriptions list and confirm that Viu now displays as "Cancelled" or "Expired". Your access to Viu Premium will terminate at the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, you will only be able to access Viu's free tier if you wish to continue using the platform.
How to cancel Viu through the website or direct billing
If you subscribed directly through Viu's website using a credit card, debit card, or UPI payment method, you must cancel through Viu's account settings.
Step one: log in to your Viu account
Visit the Viu website and click "Sign In" at the top right. Enter your registered email address and password. If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password" and reset it using the recovery email associated with your account. Two-factor authentication may be required; complete this verification step.
Step two: access your account settings and subscription management
Once logged in, click on your profile icon or avatar in the top right corner. Select "Account settings" or "Manage subscription" from the dropdown menu. You will see your current subscription plan, renewal date, and billing history.
Step three: locate the cancellation option and review terms
Within your account settings, find the section labeled "Subscription" or "Billing". Click "Cancel subscription" or "Stop automatic renewal". Viu may display a survey asking why you are cancelling; answering is optional. Review the cancellation terms to confirm your access will terminate at the end of your current billing period.
Step four: confirm cancellation and obtain your reference number
Click "Confirm cancellation" to complete the process. Viu will display a confirmation message with a cancellation reference number. Screenshot or note this reference number for your records. Check your registered email for a confirmation message from Viu within 24 hours. Your subscription will not renew on your next billing date.
Your consumer rights under indian law
Your right to cancel Viu is protected by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, which governs all subscription and e-commerce transactions in India. Under this legislation, you have the statutory right to withdraw from a subscription service, and no company may impose unreasonable penalties for cancellation exercised within a specified period or upon reasonable notice. Furthermore, the Reserve Bank of India's guidelines on recurring transactions mandate that subscription services must provide explicit, easy-to-access cancellation mechanisms. Consequently, Viu is legally obligated to honor your cancellation request within 48 hours of submission.
Your legal position regarding subscription cancellation
You own the right to cancel Viu at any time without cause. No cooling-off period applies to digital subscription services in India; however, your access will continue through the end of your paid billing cycle. Viu cannot charge your payment method after your cancellation is processed. If charges appear after cancellation, you have the right to dispute the transaction with your bank or payment platform. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you may file a consumer complaint with your State Consumer Commission or the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission if Viu refuses to cancel your subscription or continues billing after cancellation. Yafee recommends retaining cancellation confirmations and screenshots of your cancelled subscription status as evidence in any dispute.
What happens if Viu refuses to cancel
If Viu does not process your cancellation request or continues charging you after cancellation, you may escalate your complaint to the consumer protection authorities. Contact the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) in New Delhi or your State Consumer Commission in writing, providing your cancellation reference number, payment receipts, and communication attempts with Viu. The CCPA has authority to issue directions to Viu to cease unfair billing practices and may impose penalties for non-compliance. Yafee advises documenting every communication attempt and preserving screenshots of your account settings, transaction history, and cancellation confirmations.
How to request a refund after cancellation
Refund eligibility depends on your subscription platform and whether you have already accessed premium content during your billing cycle.
Refund policy through google play
Google Play typically permits refunds within 48 hours of subscription initiation. If you cancel beyond this 48-hour window, refunds are at Google's discretion and are not guaranteed. Contact Google Play Support through your account settings to request a refund. Provide your subscription purchase date and cancellation date. Google Play will review your usage and determine refund eligibility. If approved, the refund will be credited to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days.
Refund policy through apple app store
Apple's subscription refund policy mirrors Google Play's: refunds are available within 48 hours of purchase in most cases. If you are outside this window, you must contact Apple Support directly. Visit support.apple.com and submit a request for subscription refund. Explain your reason for requesting a refund and provide your subscription purchase date. Apple will review your request within 3 to 5 business days. Approved refunds will appear in your Apple account credit or original payment method.
Refund policy for direct Viu billing
If you subscribed directly through Viu's website, Viu's refund policy is more restrictive. Viu does not issue refunds for premium content accessed during the billing cycle. However, if you cancel before using premium features or encounter a technical error preventing access, Viu may grant a partial or full refund upon request. Contact Viu's customer support team through the website with your cancellation reference number and request for review. Viu typically responds to refund requests within 48 hours. If Viu denies your refund request and you believe the denial is unfair, you may lodge a complaint with your State Consumer Commission under Section 2(1)(d) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
Common mistakes to avoid during cancellation
Cancellation is straightforward, but missteps can delay the termination of your subscription and prolong unwanted charges. Follow this guidance to cancel cleanly without recurring issues.
Mistake one: cancelling on the wrong platform
The most frequent error is cancelling on one platform while your subscription is active on another. If you subscribed via Google Play, cancelling through the Viu website will not stop your automatic renewal. Verify your subscription location before cancelling. Open Viu and check under "Settings" or "Account" to confirm which platform you are subscribed through. Cross-reference this with your payment method in your billing history. Yafee emphasises that cancelling in the wrong location leaves your subscription active and your payment method charged.
Mistake two: assuming immediate access termination
Many subscribers believe their Viu access terminates immediately upon cancellation. In reality, your premium access continues until the end of your current 30-day billing cycle, even after you have cancelled. You will not be charged again after this date. Do not assume you have lost access prematurely; you retain full premium access until your next billing date passes.
Mistake three: deleting the Viu app instead of cancelling the subscription
Uninstalling the Viu application from your device does not cancel your subscription. Your subscription remains active on the platform where you created it, and your payment method will continue to be charged. You must formally cancel your subscription through Google Play, Apple App Store, or Viu's website. Deleting the app is a separate action that does not constitute cancellation.
Mistake four: not retaining cancellation confirmation details
Always screenshot or photograph your cancellation confirmation, including the reference number, date, and confirmation message. If Viu or the payment platform later disputes your cancellation, this documentation proves you cancelled within your rights. Retain these records for at least 12 months. If your payment method is charged after cancellation, your cancellation confirmation is your primary evidence in disputes with your bank or the consumer protection authority.
What to do after cancelling your Viu subscription
Your cancellation is now submitted, but a few follow-up actions ensure no lingering issues arise.
Monitor your billing statements
For the next 60 days after your cancellation, monitor your credit card, debit card, or bank statement for any unexpected charges from Viu or your payment platform. If a charge appears, contact your bank immediately and report it as unauthorized. Provide your cancellation confirmation reference number and cancellation date. Your bank will investigate the charge and initiate a chargeback if the charge is deemed fraudulent.
Check your subscription status in three days
Three days after cancellation, log back into your subscription platform (Google Play, Apple App Store, or Viu website) and verify that your subscription now displays as "Cancelled" or "Expired". If your subscription still shows as active, contact the platform's support team and provide your cancellation confirmation. This re-verification step catches processing delays or system errors before your next billing cycle.
Plan your alternative viewing options
Now that you have cancelled Viu, explore other streaming platforms aligned with your content preferences. Compare pricing, content libraries, and trial periods before subscribing to a replacement service. Yafee recommends maintaining a personal log of your active subscriptions and their renewal dates to prevent future unexpected charges.
How to dispute a charge if Viu continues billing after cancellation
In the event that Viu or your payment platform charges you after your cancellation is complete, follow this dispute procedure immediately.
Step one: gather documentation
Collect your cancellation confirmation (including reference number and date), your original subscription purchase receipt, your billing statement showing the disputed charge, and any communication from Viu or the payment platform regarding the transaction. Screenshot your account settings to prove your subscription is now cancelled or expired.
Step two: contact your bank or payment platform
Contact your bank, credit card issuer, or payment service (Google Pay, Apple Pay, etc.) within 30 days of the disputed charge. Report the charge as unauthorized and explain that your subscription was cancelled prior to the charge date. Provide copies of your cancellation confirmation, billing history, and any written communication with Viu. Your bank will launch an investigation and may issue a temporary credit while investigating.
Step three: escalate to consumer protection authority if needed
If your bank denies your dispute or takes longer than 60 days to resolve it, file a formal complaint with the Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) or your State Consumer Commission. Provide your cancellation confirmation, billing evidence, bank dispute reference number, and a written explanation of the unauthorized charge. The consumer commission may order Viu to refund the charge and pay compensation for unfair billing practices. In accordance with the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, Section 2(7), unfair billing constitutes an unfair trade practice, and the commission has authority to award monetary relief.
Comparison of cancellation methods by platform and speed
Each cancellation route has distinct advantages and processing timelines. Choose the method matching your subscription platform for fastest resolution.
| Platform | Cancellation method | Processing time | Refund eligibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Play (Android) | Subscriptions menu in Google Play Store app | Immediate (access ends at next renewal) | 48 hours from purchase |
| Apple App Store (iOS) | Settings > Subscriptions > Viu > Cancel | Immediate (access ends at next renewal) | 48 hours from purchase |
| Viu website (direct billing) | Account Settings > Subscription > Cancel subscription | 24 hours (confirmation email sent) | At Viu's discretion; 0 days typical |

Contact information and escalation routes
If your cancellation encounters delays or Viu continues billing after cancellation, contact the following authorities and service providers.
Viu customer support

Viu typically responds within 24 to 48 hours. If Viu does not resolve your issue within 5 business days, escalate to the consumer protection authority.

Alternatively, file your complaint online through the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission portal at consumeronline.gov.in. Include your cancellation confirmation, billing evidence, and a detailed account of Viu's non-compliance. The CCPA will investigate and issue directions to Viu within 30 to 45 days.
Your state consumer commission
If you prefer local resolution, contact your State Consumer Commission in your home state. File a consumer complaint under Section 2(1)(d) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Provide your cancellation reference number, billing receipts, and written explanation of the unfair practice. Your State Commission will schedule a hearing and may award damages if Viu is found liable for unauthorized billing or unfair subscription practices.
Reserve bank of india ombudsman (for payment disputes)
If your bank fails to resolve a billing dispute after your cancellation, contact the RBI Ombudsman through your bank's website. The RBI Ombudsman has authority to investigate banking service complaints and direct your bank to issue refunds. File your complaint within one year of the disputed transaction. The RBI will issue a decision within 90 days.
