How to escalate to the nodal or appellate authority for ITC Hotels Room Booking (Step by Step)
Step 1. Confirm you've exhausted Level 1 — customer care at 1800-103-3344. You need a Level 1 reference number before escalating, regulators reject cases without it.
Step 2. Level 2 — Email the grievance officer (contact on this page) with: your name, registered phone, Level 1 reference, issue summary, and what resolution you want. Mark "Grievance Redressal" in the subject line. SLA: 15 days under IT Rules 2021.
Step 3. Level 3 — If Level 2 doesn't resolve in 15 days, escalate to the nodal officer / appellate authority (also on this page). Always quote BOTH previous reference numbers. SLA: 30 days.
Step 5. Level 5 — Consumer Court. For unresolved cases over ₹20,000 or systemic issues, file at the district consumer disputes redressal commission. Fees are minimal (often ₹100-₹500) and self-representation is allowed.
Escalation Matrix for Escalation Issues
If the first-level customer-care call doesn't resolve your escalate to the nodal or appellate authority, India's standard escalation path is: grievance officer → nodal officer → National Consumer Helpline (1915) → consumer court. Most regulators require 30 days of brand non-response before they accept a case, so keep every reference number and timestamp.
