Refund for unused courier charge

[nikunjd05]

Hello,

This is a different issue for me.
I applied for OCI and renunciation, was approved and received it.

There were some members from the Indian Consulate come to my city so that they can help with the questions folks had about variety of things.
So I took all my documents and had them checked and was given a green light to send it in. So I send in OCI and renunciation forms with the appropriate documents and the postage that was required. However, the consulate officer told me that that there is no need to send in the US passport as he has verified it. After verifying the documents, he also signed the paperwork.

After getting my OCI card and my cancelled Indian passport, I was like I paid for 3 return envelopes and I received only 2 so I should ask for refund for the 3rd one.
I emailed them and they come with the answer that I am not eligible for the unused courier charge. I am a bit confused because I should get a refund for the unused courier charge.

Has anyone experienced this?
Does anyone have any recommendation to what I can do about it? Am I missing something?

Although the amount is only $15 but its the principle behind it and yes, I paid for it so I should get it back if they did not use it.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link Liberty48

The link provided was to get a refund for cancelling the application. The drop down in Step 3 only has 'Cancel Application'' option.
I have mentioned that my application was accepted and I have also received the OCI.
The only issue is that I am asking for a refund for an unused courier charge that I have already paid when I applied for OCI + Renunciation.

Thanks again.

Since you got the OCI, just choose anything and provide a clear explanation that you want the courier charges refunded. Just work the system, if they don't give you proper options.
