1.1 Purpose of this Policy
This Grievance Redressal Policy (“Policy”) establishes the framework adopted by Setura Mobility Private Limited (“SetuRa”, “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) for receiving, acknowledging, assessing, investigating, resolving and closing grievances, complaints, concerns and service-related representations submitted by users, customers, visitors, business partners and other stakeholders in connection with SetuRa’s website, digital platforms, products, services and business operations.
The objective of this Policy is to provide a structured, transparent, accessible and accountable mechanism through which legitimate grievances may be raised and addressed in a fair and timely manner, while maintaining appropriate standards of confidentiality, information security, procedural fairness and regulatory compliance.

This Policy applies to grievances relating to SetuRa’s website, digital interfaces, products, services, transactions, communications, customer support, privacy and personal-data practices, payments, refunds, cancellations, representations, service quality, technology- related issues and other matters falling within SetuRa’s responsibility.
Where a matter is governed by a specific contractual arrangement, statutory mechanism, sector-specific framework or dedicated policy, such framework may operate in conjunction with, or take precedence over, this Policy to the extent required by applicable law.

References to applicable law shall include amendments, modifications, re- enactments, subordinate legislation, rules, regulations, notifications, directions and governmental requirements applicable from time to time.
3. Principles Governing Grievance Redressal
3.1 Accessibility
SetuRa shall endeavour to maintain grievance channels that are reasonably accessible and capable of being used by customers and other stakeholders without unnecessary procedural complexity.
3.2 Fair and Objective Consideration
Every legitimate grievance shall be considered objectively, based on the information and records reasonably available to SetuRa. The Company shall endeavour to avoid arbitrary or discriminatory treatment in the handling of grievances.
3.3 Timely Resolution
SetuRa shall endeavour to acknowledge and address grievances within reasonable and legally prescribed timelines, having regard to the nature, complexity and urgency of the matter.
Where additional time is reasonably required for investigation, the Complainant may be informed of the status of the grievance and, where appropriate, the anticipated timeframe for further response.
3.4 Confidentiality
SetuRa shall seek to maintain appropriate confidentiality in relation to grievances and the information submitted in connection with them, subject to disclosures required for investigation, service delivery, legal compliance, regulatory requirements, dispute resolution, fraud prevention or protection of the rights and interests of SetuRa and other persons.
3.5 Non-Retaliation
SetuRa shall not ordinarily subject a Complainant to adverse treatment merely because the Complainant has raised a genuine grievance in good faith.
This principle shall not prevent SetuRa from taking appropriate action in cases involving fraud, impersonation, abuse of grievance mechanisms, knowingly false information, threats, unlawful conduct or other prohibited activity.
4. Types of Grievances
4.1 Customer and Service Grievances
Customers may submit grievances concerning the quality, availability, performance or delivery of SetuRa’s products or services, including concerns relating to customer support, service commitments, bookings, transactions or operational processes, as applicable.

Grievances relating to payments, invoices, billing discrepancies, cancellations, refunds, failed transactions, duplicate charges or other financial aspects of a transaction may be submitted through the designated grievance channels.

4.3 Privacy and Personal-Data Grievances
Individuals may raise concerns relating to the collection, processing, use, disclosure, retention, security or handling of their personal data by SetuRa.
Where applicable, such grievances shall also be handled in accordance with SetuRa’s Privacy Policy and the rights and obligations prescribed under applicable data-protection law.
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 recognises a Data Principal’s right to a readily available means of grievance redressal concerning obligations relating to personal data and the exercise of statutory rights.
