Important Safety Warning: Beware of the massive “Customer Care Call Scam.” Scammers frequently buy ads on search engines displaying fake toll-free numbers for Uber. This is a scam. Authentic Uber support is driven primarily through the app. Uber India staff will never ask for your account password, OTP, or request you to scan a UPI QR code to process a ride refund.
Level 1: Customer Support (Initial Complaint)
How to complain: Register your complaint (cancellation fees, route disputes, driver behavior, or payment issues) directly via the Help section within the Uber mobile app or by logging into the web portal at help.uber.com. For immediate on-trip safety emergencies, utilize the Safety Toolkit icon within the app to trigger the 24x7 Safety Helpline or trigger an SOS to local police.
Availability: The in-app Help section, web portal, and Safety Toolkit operate 24x7.
Timeline: Standard service requests and refund initiations must be acknowledged immediately. Uber aims to resolve standard Level 1 queries and app-based tickets within 2 business days from the receipt of the complaint.
Level 2: Internal Escalation (Grievance Redressal Officer)
Who to contact: If Level 1 support fails, your refund is stalled, or your support ticket is closed without a satisfactory fix, you must formally escalate the issue. You must email the designated Grievance Redressal Officer, Mr. Pavan Nawander, directly at grievanceredressaloffice@uber.com. You must include your 10-digit registered phone number and details of the Level 1 ticket. You can also reach the Grievance Officer’s desk by calling their dedicated escalation line at 080-46850055 to record your concern. Written notices can be sent to their Corporate Head Office (One Horizon Center, Golf Course Rd, Harizan Colony, DLF Phase 5, Sector 54, Gurugram, Haryana - 122022).
Timeline: Under their mandatory regulatory guidelines, the Grievance Redressal Officer must address and resolve escalated ticketing and service disputes within 3 business days (72 hours) of receipt.
Level 3: Regulatory Authority (National Consumer Helpline)
Authority: If the Uber corporate officers reject your claim or fail to resolve the issue, you must escalate the matter to the government regulators overseeing consumer protection in the e-commerce and service sector.
Portal/Contact: You must submit your grievance to the Department of Consumer Affairs via the National Consumer Helpline (NCH) portal (consumerhelpline.gov.in), via the Umang app, or by calling the central citizen toll-free helpline at 1915.
Timeline: Grievances escalated to the NCH are tracked with strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs), aiming for a targeted resolution response from the corporate entity within 30 to 45 days.
Level 4: Consumer Court (Legal Action)
Pre-Litigation: Ride-hailing service deficiencies do not require a specialized Ombudsman. The National Consumer Helpline (NCH) is your final pre-litigation mediation step if internal escalations fail to yield a resolution.
Court/Arbitration: If you are aggrieved by unrefunded charges, severe negligence causing injury, or major financial loss, you must file a formal complaint with the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, utilizing the e-jagriti portal (e-jagriti.gov.in).
Timeline: You must file the case within two years from the date the cause of action (the service failure) arose.
