This achievement underscores India Today Group's position as a benchmark of trust and quality within its industry. Users and clients of India Today Group can engage with its offerings, confident in the knowledge that they are dealing with a top-tier, fully legitimized company.

India Today Group earns 100% level of Trustworthiness

Perfect Trust Endorsement: India Today Group achives 100% ligitmacy per Complaints Board. Highly recommended, yet always stay vigilant.

India Today Group has registered the domain name for indiatoday.in for more than one year, which may indicate stability and longevity.

Indiatoday.in has a valid SSL certificate, which indicates that the website is secure and trustworthy. Look for the padlock icon in the browser and the "https" prefix in the URL to confirm that the website is using SSL.

Indiatoday.in has been deemed safe to visit, as it is protected by a cloud-based cybersecurity solution that uses the Domain Name System (DNS) to help protect networks from online threats.

Indiatoday.in you are considering visiting, which is associated with India Today Group, is very old. Longevity often suggests that a website has consistently provided valuable content, products, or services over the years and has maintained a stable user base and a sustained online presence. This could be an indication of a very positive reputation.

India Today Group's website appears to be focused on art and entertainment. While this can be a great source for finding creative inspiration, it's important to verify the legitimacy of the site and its content before investing time or money. However, it's important to take the time to research the site and verify its legitimacy before making any purchases or investments.

India Today Group website is deemed to be popular and indicating that it receives a high volume of traffic. It is important to be cautious when using a highly trafficked website, as it may be a target for cybercriminals looking to exploit vulnerabilities or steal personal information.

Indiatoday.in regularly updates its policies to reflect changes in laws, regulations. These policies are easy to find and understand, and they are written in plain language that is accessible to all customers. This helps customers understand what they are agreeing to and what to expect from India Today Group.

However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

  • India Today Group protects their ownership data, a common and legal practice. However, from our perspective, this lack of transparency can impede trust and accountability, which are essential for establishing a credible and respected business entity.
  • This website appears to offer a link shortening service. Scammers may also use shortened links to make malicious or fraudulent websites appear more legitimate or to hide the true destination of a link. Therefore, it's important to exercise caution when clicking on shortened links, particularly if they come from an untrusted or unfamiliar source.
  • We conducted a search on social media and found several negative reviews related to India Today Group. These reviews may indicate issues with the company's products, services, or customer support. It is important to thoroughly research the company and its offerings before making any purchases to avoid any potential risks.

India Today Group annual subscription through online subscription no. ite324140

I had subscribed to indiatoday magazene for one year by paying rs2340/- through internet banking on 09/06/2017.A free gift of reid&taylor belt and wallet was also offered with one year subscription which was ticked at the time of subscription order.The first issue of subscription was delivered on 17/07/17 with subscription no.Ite324140.When i enquired about the free gift on 28/08/17, i was told by the customer care executive that there is no free gift available for my subscription.It is quite unethical that i was denied the free gift which was offered at the time of subscription.Hence i i request that the complaint may please be brought to the notce of concerned authority.

India Today Group not fully refunding the subscription amount - subscription no. rd16002468250

I have made a payment of Rs.711/- to the Publishers in the month of April 2016 as one year subscription for Readers Digest. I was not getting the
magazine against my subscription. Whenever I make a complaint
they blame the postal department for non-delivery and they are taking
up the issue with them strongly and have been assuring me the prompt
delivery of the magazine. However, this was not happening. All I received from the publishers after making umpteen number of complaint was the 3 old issues of the magazine together in the month of July, 2016. Since they were unable to delivery me magazine regularly every month, I requested them to cancel my subscription and refund the subscription amount. After sending dozens of reminders they send me a cheque
of Rs.237/- in the month of December, 2016. Since then I have been
asking them to give me account of Rs.474/- deducted from my subscription amount, as all I received was 3 old issues of the magazine.

Since December 2016 I have been reminding them to send me the account
of Rs.474/- deducted by them. I have sent six reminders so far
and every time I get the reply "we will get back to you in 2 to 3 working days" However, nothing has happened and I am still waiting for their
reply as to how they have deducted Rs.474/- from my account.

India Today Group Robbed by Bag It Today after getting incorrect information/false promises

I placed an order for a product on www.bagittoday.com on 24th August

2013. Within 5 minutes of placing the order I got a call from a certain

Amit verma from Bag It Today and told me that i had been entered into

an exclusive contest for winning a car from Bag It Today for which I

would have to buy lifetime membership from Bag It Today for Rs 1350

which would enable me to get extra discount of 30-50 percent on every

product on bag It Today in addition to the discount already available

on the product. After i expressed scepticism about the order i was told

that India Today is a reputed business group and we are doing this for

our sales promotion as we want you to do word of mouth publicity for

the company after getting this outrageously generous offer from us. I

expressed my interest in this offer and Mr. Varma promptly transferred

the call to the Payment Department of the company where I was asked to

provide details of my Credit card, (a practice which I may point out is

highly suspect and completely inappropriate). They asked for my 3D

secure Password which I declined after which they asked me to provide

them my OTP (ONE TIME PASSWORD) after providing them with the same I

was shocked to find out that they had gone behind my back and changed

my 3D secure password to charge me an amount of 13, 499 (THIRTEEN

THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED). Obviously I was shocked to find such a brazen

display of thievery and misuse of personal data. After this i got a

call from their verification Department for verifying my adress who

told me that i had purchased some diamonds for Rs 13500. I told them

about the lifetime membership order which they declined to have no

knowledge of and transferred the call back to the sales guy Amit Verma

who told me that the confirmation department doesnt know about the

membership offer and told me to "just say Yes" to the confirmation

department. After this when i got a call back from the confirmation

department I told them to immediately cancel the order and refund the

amount to my credit card. I also sent a mail to

[protected]@bagittoday.com and [protected]@bagittoday.com However in

both the cases my pleas were ignored and I was repeatedly transferred

from department to department in order to bamboozle and confuse me. I

repeatedly called the customer care number everyday who told me that

order cannot be cancelled and dropped the call. After a few days they

told me the order has been shipped(which i never ordered) and when i

asked them about refund they told me their company does not provide any

refund. You may note that i got a call from fedex courier few days back

who told me that that there was a package in my name with only the city

name and mobile no mentioned. I declined to accept the package and

asked the courier company to sent it back to its origin as I had not

ordered it. After narrating this brazen incident of thievery to my

friends and colleagues, one of my colleagues asked me to drop a mail to

salil.[protected]@bagittoday.com as he had been duped by the company in a

similar fashion on a previous occasion. I promptly sent a mail on the

stated mail ID on 2nd September after which i got a response from a

certain Farah Qureshi on 3rd September ([protected]@bagittoday.com)

mentioning the following lines ("This is to inform you that we have

forwarded your concern to the concern person and requesting you to

please allow us some time to get back to you.") After this i sent them

2-3 reminders on subsequent days to which they sent the same response.

It has been 4 days and i have not heard anything concrete from them so

far. I have realized that they are just buying time and are in cahoots

with these sales guys recruited by them for looting innocent customers.

The order ID (for this act of theft) was communicated to me as

[protected].

Hi,
Do i need to forget once i paid annual suscription for India Today. I am not recieving any issue since last 4-6 week. Similar incident took place two month ago and after many follow up by mail, it was sorted out and issue started comming, but after 3-4 week, again a similar stories started taking place. I have so far mailed 4 mail to we care. and response are are same that they have communicated to its Mumbai office and I would get the missing issue in a 1-2 day. Finally i have requested to terminate my suscription and there is no concrete response. I feel is cheated now and added to that if no response comes in, I am motivated to take up more concrete action. Question is not here for money, it reader time wasted in unmeaningful correspondence and a feeling of ignorance from India Today.

Bye the way my Subscription no: ITE1812000 and case ID last quoted by we care is 2195203

Bag It Today is really a site one must not trust, I ordered many items with them at once's as I needed to give gifts to my family members, I thought that INDIA TODAY GROUP is there so I don;t need to worry about it. but it seem India Today is also a part of this Fraud. I ordered some 3 sun glasses and 5 perfume, when I got the items I was shell shocked to find that all sun glasses are different then why was in image, order no [protected] for one sun glasses.

And this stupid response I got from some Mani Mangala

Each product advertised and sold by Bagit Today is genuine and procured directly from the concerned brands. "

I told near about all my friends and family to shop from somewhere else and don't fall for India Today Group trap

On 13-09-2010 I got a call from India Today Book Club, the caller name is Mr Sarat. He told me that I got selected for Rs1 lakh diamond Diwali Bonanza Offer. In this offer I can purchase up to 1 lakh of Diamond jewellery from Surat Diamond. I will get 20 number vouchers of Rs5000 each. For that i have to pay Rs 14996 and Rs299 handling charges and they will give me a 22 items (Swatch Watch-2 Nos, MTV Roadies Sunglasses- 2 Nos, Reebok wallet+key chain - 2 Nos, Books of three title – 2 nos each, MTV T-Shirt- 2 Nos, Reebook Track Suit- 2 Nos, Reebok Shorts- 2 Nos, Reebok LITE Speed Shoes - 2 Nos, Reebok VB Thong Slipper- 2 Nos), two holiday voucher free. I have made the payment after a through inquiry to their correspondence. Their correspondence Mr Sarat and his senior clearly told me that I can club those 20 vouchers and can made a single purchased of upto 1 lakh from Surat Diamond.
I have received the material, though some material are not of my size given to them, Now when the time of vouchers is came they are now telling me that I cannot clubbed the vouchers and the person make me another offer of giving me physical diamond for that i have to again pay Rs15000 or so
I think it is a clear case of cheating and misleading the public.

India Today Group Diamond Vouchers worth Rs. 1,500,000 Clubbing of vouchers E-mail not received, hacked, remedial action requested

I am a very old customer of India Today Book Club (ITBC) and have purchased
articles worth many lakhs from ITBC with aprreciation and satisfaction. I was awarded Gold Box worth *Rs 15 lacs* and received *300 Diamond Vouchers* of Rs 5, 000/- each vide e-mail on 8/9/2010 at [protected]@hotmail.com. I had made further request for clubbing of theseVouchers and for paper form of vouchers, and four more payments of 29, 992/- each and some more amounts were made in this connection, totalling more than Rs 100, 000/- just for clubbing and paper format of vouchers.
Finally I was informed when I was at Vaishnodevi near Jammu a week ago that my file has been processed and cleared for clubbing and that the vouchers in paper form would be sent by DTDC courier. However, while I was at Jammu, 5 days ago, I received another telephone call asking me to be on-line for receiving vouchers. I told that I belong to Jodhpur and I will have access to my e-mail on line only after 3 days.

Two days ago I recived a phone call on my telephone No. [protected] saying that now they are sending me the Vouchers and the code through E-mail on my Hotmail Account. Within 24 hours of this phone call as I was just waiting to get this coveted e-mail from your office, I got my hotmail account hacked and access to it was totally denied. My E-mail pass word and security secret questions were also tempered and so I cannot open my e-mail account in the hotmail.

While I am taking appropriate action with customer support of Hotmail for reviving my e-mail account, I am submitting summary of my complaint as below :-

The complaint is regarding:
1. Why the Diamond Vouchers were not sent in paper format by courier despite payment by additional purchases for that purpose?
2. Why the clubbing mail was not received by me at my gmail address, though both hotmail and gmail ID's were in record?
3. Why even after my request, urgent remedial action was not taken to prevent misuse and fraud?
4. Why is it that my e-mail account on hotmail, which was known to the staff of India Today Book Club (ITBC) and also that ONLY ITBC staff knew about the e-mail being sent giving CODE numbers regarding Gold Box / Diamond Jewellery worth 1, 500, 000/- for me, was hacked by someone just hours within the phone call by a staff member from ITBC to my phone No. [protected] intimating e-mail being sent?
5. What is the remedial action now and how can I redeem my Rs. 1.5 million worth of Gold Box / Diamond Jewellery Vouchers?

India Today Group ITBC not refunding money for the past one year-ITBC [protected]

Sir, Madam,

During December 2009 I foolishly ordered "Complete history of world" through readers digest(ITBC). A cheque was attached and the same was en cashed on 6/1/2010. When I did not get the book by Feb 2010 I tried calling Readers digest and my ordeal started. I live in Chennai and I was told that I have to call 011 [protected]. In spite of this customer complaint number being an STD, not toll free number, Perhaps to avoid customer calling, I called up several times and was told the book had returned back due to address problems. Mind you, I am living in the same address for the past 12 years and still get all "Readers digest" magazine regularly.
I was told with in 20 Days the book will be re sent to me. I patiently waited for the same and called up in march, I was then told that the book is out of inventory and they are waiting for the same to come, I called up again in April and same reply, Agin in may 2010 same reply. I took this very hard and told them to cancel the order and return the money. After that every 20 days I am calling them and they are still, we are in September 2010, given the money back. In august I got a call from one Ravi, who gave me a "waybill number" of blue dart which turned out to be wrong. Today I spoke to the call center and one Mr. Rashid, who was very harsh, says it is the problem of "Blue Dart". I have never seen such utter disregard for customers.

I sincerely believe that ITBC is cheating money and forcing customers to go through horrid time with their call center to dissuade them from asking re imbursement

India Today Group Big CONTEST SCAM running by India Today Book Club

My Booking ID [protected] & [protected]
My Order Number TELESALES/0GA100008124 & TELESALES/0GA100008212
Payment Date: 12th Mar. 2017 & 13th Mar. 2017
Item: Samsung OMNI Pro B730 Mobile & Philips Home Theatre
Sales Person: Mr.Asim & Miss.Lila

Hi!

I like to inform you all that India Today Book Club is a BIG BIG SCAM Company and now they are with Contest SCAM!

They are running more that Rs.10Lacs Contest and for the same they and their sales peosons call you and tell you that you are guranteed winner of Rs.10, 000 or Rs.30, 000 or Rs.2Lac + price! And to confirm and get your price you required to purchase a product from them.

They call you many time + after purchase the next day other person from their sales team again call you and give you more (higher) amount of winning confirmation and again tell you to purchase new product!

They tell that you get your winning price on 31st Mar.2017 by Check OR DD.

I also received this type of phone call. First their sales team member Mr.Asim tell me that I am in Top 10 Winner List and I guranteed get Rs.10, 000 Price if I place order. After 2-3 times his confirmation I place a Order for Samsung Omni Pro B730 Mobile. He confirm me that I get winning price confirmation within 15-20min of my purchase payment. I paid using ICICI Bank Credit Card.

But I not get any winning price confirmation on same day!

Again their sales team member Miss.Lila call me on next day and tell me that I am now selected for Rs.30, 000 guranteed price! And now I am Top 5 list. She also confirm me that I get this change because One day back I placed a order for mobile. I tell her that I required winning confirmation details and she give me assurance that I definatly get winning details within 20min of my new order payment. So, again I place a new order for Philips Home Theatre system.

But I not get any email in 12-24hrs! And again on next day their team member call me that I am now winner of Rs.2Lac+ price! So, first I tell him to confirm my Rs.30, 000 price by email. But he said that they have no user rights to send email! Also he tell me that their all phone calls are recorded by IndiaTodayBookClub for security purpost and I guranteed get Rs.2 Lacs price. But I not place new order and send email to their all team members on "[protected]@indiatodaybookclub.com;[protected]@indiatodaybookclub.com;[protected]@indiatodaybookclub.com;ashish.[protected]@intoday.com;[protected]@intoday.com;[protected]@intoday.com;Kiranjyot.[protected]@intoday.com;malcolm.[protected]@intoday.com;mohan.[protected]@intoday.com;Neeti.[protected]@intoday.com;Nidhi.[protected]@intoday.com;payal.[protected]@intoday.com;photo.[protected]@intoday.com;prabhdev.[protected]@intoday.com;pragya.[protected]@intoday.com;[protected]@intoday.com;[protected]@intoday.com;sunil.[protected]@intoday.com;Tb.[protected]@intoday.com" with all details.

I get reply from Mr.Piyush that "With reference to your mail we would like to inform you that your both orders [protected] & [protected] is under process from our end we request you that kindly wait for some days you will receive the same soon." BUT NO Winning Price details !

So, Again I send email and tell them to confirm my winning price. Because I only place this both order get winning money.

I get reply after 2 days from Sonia that "We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. With reference to your mail, we would like to inform you that we are not providing any cash prize along with the order." !

So, I send email and tell them that I also recorded all this three phone calls and I have recording of this all 3 phone calls. If I not get confirmation within next 48hrs than I am going to file a consumar case against their company.

After thsi step they start calling me on my cell and tell me that its not possible to confirm winning amount by email! But I get Rs.10, 000 guranteed price! So, I tell them that I req. Rs.30, 000 and also required price confirmation by email.

After thsi their team head call me and tell me that they are sorry for all this and they are going to take step against their sales team member. But this is not true that I get price! Its a compition and I just get entry by placing order!

Means this all is a BIG cheating!

So, I tell them that I am not at-all intrested in product. And I want refund.

Still they send me a Phillips home theater ! But I not accepted it and return it.

They still not refunded my amount to credit card. But my credit card provider "ICICI Bank" team confirm me that if I not get refund that they process my charge back.

It's my luck that I paid using Credit Card PLUS I recorded their phone call! Otherwise nothing !

It's better to purchase from local shop insted of this types of cheating sites. They are running BagItToday site with same types of offers. But if you search google you get many scam case against them!

This both site are from IndiaToday Group of people but both are BIG Fraud site. I don't understand why this type of Big Group done this Fraud with Indian People!

Their sales team members are very smart. On selling time they offer you many offers or contest winning or prices with your purchase. But after purchase NO ONE ans you! Even their support team reply and tell you that their own sales team member given you wrong details! This is only if you send them many emails OR call them many times. Otherwise nothing!

You loose your money + valuable time + Did not get product or get wrong product + Not get gift or price as per their offer!

So, be careful and DO NOT PLACE any order...

I had earlier given complaint with regard to the 3 sets of same books sent to me and I have sent e-mails and even called the number furnished to me to no avail and I was sent an e-mail asking me to sent the entire set of parcel on 05-11-'09 and promptly I had sent the books with xerox copy order with a fond hope that the concern will help me out but so far I have not been contacted either on phone or by e-mail. I am ardent follower of your magzine but the cheap tricks which are being played on members is highly depricable and needs to be attended promptly.

The invoice numbers vide which the books of 3 sets were sent are: OGA090071251, OGA090071252, OGA090071253 & OGA090071256 amounting to Rs.9, 594/-.

Despite sending mails and calling over the phone, the persons in-charge have not even bothered to respond to my requests.

I have send emails to response.com but so far no response is forthcoming from your side.

I have no option left if the attitude of your persons continues to be that of ignoring a valuable member but to take legal action for the cheap tricks played on me.

I have sent the entire parcel by paying Rs.700/- and the people at your end had the audacity to refuse taking the delivery of the same and the courier guy is insisting payment of return parcel.

This type of attitude is highly objectionable and indiatoday book club which has got a high reputation is be degraded by incompetent persons handling the entire marketing.

I am giving this last opportunity to you people to adhere to my request or else, I am going to initiate legal action against you.

Hi,

I had booked the order (order no ORA090064403) at 'India today book club' for Samsung Marine Mobile (b2100) against free gift offer of Family Holiday Package Worth Rs.5000/- + Round Air tickets Free + Rs.5000/- worth Home shop 18 vouchers as per the verbal confirmation of your executive while booking the order.

The parcel I received was only having mobile phone and the ‘Family holiday home package, air ticket and home shope 18 vouchers are not delivered’.

I emailed the company and they asked me to ‘visit the below mentioned bookstoday.in/promos.htm link to claim your free gifts. After 15 days daily contacting and lodging the complaint stating that your unique code no which you have provided in the invoice is not in a active state and concerned benefits are not delivered to my address they activated my secret code no. But not mentioned about my Home shope 18 vouchers.

When I visited the link, I came to know that for holiday package they have put such conditions that some one decides then also he cannot availed the offer and the same thing is apply for the Air tickets.
Also the payment Rs 800 is required for Holiday package and payment of taxes is required for Air ticket, which was not mentioned in the initial offer flyer. They had cheated and not informed me this condition in any stage of my booking the order through mail or verbal manner.

The terms & conditions they are asking me to follow for free gifts are informed me after I have accepted the delivery of samsung mobile consignment. Legally I am not bound to follow any of such condition.

The free gift what they are saying is a totally misguiding to the customers.

I have maintained copies of all communication between ‘India today book club’ and me. I am expecting my money back with harassment compensation and company to stop such cheating marketing policy.

Its my a very very bad & worst experience with indiatodaybookclub ...

I also told them that I am going to post complain against them on forums and your site but nothing! They have NO time to reply or response after payment. Only searching for new buyers...

Very BAD...

Hope to get my full money + courier charges return fast... OR I am going to file a consumer case against this cheater people of India Today Book Club.

I was extremely disappointed with the service I received till day. If you would please address this issue with your concerned autorities, I would greatly appreciate it. I will forward this message to other people saying that you wont enjoy shopping at your store, however if I receive no response from your end, I will try to shut down your ugly business.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Regards,

Ravikiran
