Frequently asked questions
general
Are the therapists verified?+
Every therapist completes KYC document checks, certification review and background verification before an admin approves them — only approved therapists can go online and accept jobs.
Can I choose the gender of my therapist?+
Yes. Set a male, female or no-preference filter on any booking, and female customers can restrict their whole account to female therapists only — that preference then applies automatically to every future booking.
What areas do you operate in?+
We currently operate in select cities and are expanding. The app shows live availability for your address when you start a booking.
Is this a medical or spa-treatment service?+
It is professional, non-sexual wellness and massage therapy — not medical treatment. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or are recovering from an injury or surgery, take medical advice first and tell the therapist before the session begins.
booking
How do I book a session?+
Browse services on the website, then tap Book Now — this opens the app, where you choose the service, address and time, see the full price, and confirm.
How do I start a session?+
A one-time Service OTP is issued to you when the therapist arrives. Share it with them to start the session, and it closes automatically when they mark the job complete — so every session is traceable.
Can I reschedule instead of cancelling?+
Yes, and it costs nothing. Rescheduling is free at any time before the therapist is on the way; cancelling within 2 hours of the slot incurs a fee, so moving the booking is usually the better option.
What is your cancellation policy?+
Free cancellation until 2 hours before your scheduled slot. Cancelling within that window may incur a fee, shown in the app before you confirm. Full details are in our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
What happens if the therapist does not show up?+
You get a full refund and priority rebooking with another therapist — you are never charged for a session that did not happen because we failed to staff it.
safety
Is there an SOS option?+
Yes. Both customer and therapist have an in-session SOS button that alerts our safety team immediately with the booking and last known location.
Will the therapist have my phone number?+
No. Calls are connected through a masked Midnight Mitra number, so neither side ever sees the other's real phone number.
Is in-app chat monitored?+
Yes. Messages are automatically checked for phone numbers, payment handles or attempts to arrange anything off-platform — a flagged message is held back and reviewed by our team rather than delivered.
Can I track the therapist in real time?+
Yes. Once a booking is confirmed you can see the therapist's live location on the way to you, right up to arrival.
payments
Do you provide a GST invoice?+
Where GST applies, a GST-compliant tax invoice is generated automatically for every completed booking and is available to download in the app.
How can I pay?+
By card, net banking or UPI through our payment gateway; by scanning our UPI QR code and submitting the payment reference; or in cash after the session, in cities where cash is enabled.
How do refunds work?+
Approved refunds go to your Midnight Mitra wallet (instant) or back to your original payment method (usually 5–7 working days). See our Refund & Cancellation Policy for the exact rules.
