Chargeback Kya Hota Hai? (Cycle & Process Explained) (Simple Bhasha Mein)

Chargeback ek process hota hai jisme customer kisi unauthorized ya incorrect transaction ke against dispute raise karta hai. Isse “transaction reversal” bhi kaha jata hai. Is process mein Bank, Card Network (Visa/Mastercard) aur Merchant involve hote hain. Agar claim valid hota hai, toh amount reverse kiya ja sakta hai.

Complaint Log (Initial Stage): Aapke dispute raise karte hi bank internal verification shuru karta hai aur reference number generate hota hai (usually same day initiate ho jata hai).

2

Network Submission (Processing Stage): Case ko Visa/Mastercard network ke zariye merchant bank ko bheja jata hai response ke liye (generally initial review ke baad, typically 3–7 working days ke andar).

3

Merchant Response (Review Stage): Merchant ko apni safai ya proof dene ka mauka milta hai. Agar wo proof nahi dete, toh reversal confirm ho sakta hai (response typically kuch din se lekar couple of weeks tak lag sakta hai, case par depend karta hai).

4

Final Reversal (Final Outcome Stage): Final amount investigation ke result ke basis par account mein credit kiya ja sakta hai (typically 2–6 weeks timeline).
