Flipkart-backed online travel bookings platform, Cleartrip, on Monday, 15 September 2025, announced its new ‘Visa Denial Cover’ for all international flight bookings from the platform, according to an official announcement.
This announcement of the visa denial coverage comes right before Flipkart's Big Billion Days 2025, which is one of the major sales for the e-commerce giant during the festive season. The offer will be for all customers who are booking their flight tickets for their international travel.
The company said that this move aims to reduce customer anxiety about booking international flights. People usually question themselves before booking their flights, especially about what happens if their visa is denied by the embassy.
Cleartrip's Visa Denial Cover will allow customers to book anxiety-free international flights, knowing that if their visa gets rejected, they will get a full refund of their ticket cost, as per the official announcement.
“With the Visa Denial Cover, we are directly tackling one of the biggest anxieties that comes with booking an international trip. This new feature isn't just about a refund; it's about giving our customers the peace of mind, ensuring that planning a trip is exciting rather than anxiety-driven,” said Manjari Singhal, the chief business and growth officer of Cleartrip.
