JioCinema merged with Disney+ Hotstar in February 2025 to form JioHotstar, the successor platform in India. Subscribers can cancel directly through the JioHotstar app (My Space > Help & Settings > Account Settings > Cancel Subscription) or via the website, or through the Google Play / Apple App Store if subscribed through those platforms. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period with no pro-rated refunds issued; access continues until the paid cycle expires. Subscriptions obtained through partner bundles (Jio, Airtel, Vi, BSNL, Flipkart) do not auto-renew and expire automatically.

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
