Cancel Your Times Prime Subscription
Times Prime's "all-in-one" model is designed to be the ultimate bundle, but this can also make it a prime example of a service with benefits you might forget you're paying for-a problem we solve in our guide to finding unwanted subscriptions. If you're not using the bundled perks, this is the definitive guide to cancelling your membership.
This guide will show you exactly how to end your Times Prime membership and, critically, how to disable the UPI AutoPay mandate that often continues charging even after you stop using the service. We also clarify the refund policy for annual plans.
How to Cancel Times Prime Subscription
Follow the step-by-step instructions below.

An Audible trial gives you access to a massive library of audiobooks and podcasts, often a better value than a dedicated music subscription.

The Renewal Offer Power Play
Times Prime wants to keep you. Let your subscription get close to its expiry date. They frequently send out renewal offers with a significant discount (15-25% off) via email or app notifications to prevent you from churning.
The 'Free with Credit Card' Check
Before you pay for a renewal, check with your bank. Major credit cards, especially from HDFC Bank (like Regalia or Diners Club), often include a complimentary Times Prime membership as a card benefit. You might be eligible to get it for free.
Activate Everything on Day One
The biggest waste of a Times Prime membership is not using it. On the day you subscribe, go through the list and activate every single included benefit (Hotstar, SonyLIV, Google One, etc.) immediately. This maximizes your value even if you decide not to renew.
Pre-Cancellation Safety Checklist
Your Linked Subscriptions Will Be Deactivated
CRITICAL: When your Times Prime membership ends, your access to all the bundled services you activated through it (like Disney+ Hotstar, SonyLIV, YouTube Premium) will also end. They are tied directly to your Times Prime validity.
Check Your Auto-Renewal Status
VERY IMPORTANT: Whether your membership auto-renews depends on how you paid. If you used a credit card or UPI mandate, it is likely set to auto-renew. You must go into the 'My Subscriptions' section on their website to disable it.
Use Your Vouchers Before They Expire
If you have claimed any one-time vouchers for dining or other services but haven't used them, check their specific expiry dates. These may or may not be tied to your main membership's end date. Use them before you lose them.

What happens to my Hotstar subscription if I cancel Times Prime?
The Hotstar access you got through Times Prime will stop working when your membership ends. Your actual Hotstar account is not deleted, but it will lose its premium status.
Can I get a refund for my Times Prime membership?
No, Times Prime memberships are generally non-refundable. When you cancel, you are simply turning off the auto-renewal for the next year, and your benefits will continue until your current plan expires.
Is Times Prime worth it?
It depends on your usage. Add up the cost of the 2-3 subscriptions you use most from the bundle (e.g., Hotstar + SonyLIV). If that total is more than the cost of Times Prime, then it's a great value for you.
How do I turn off auto-renewal for Times Prime?
You must log in to the Times Prime website, go to your 'Profile' or 'My Account', navigate to 'My Subscriptions', and you will find the option to manage or disable auto-renewal.
