Short answer — Malaysia
A missed appointment is recorded as a no-show. In most systems the fee stays valid for a limited window, so you can rebook without repaying if you act quickly — often within the same fee validity period. Log in the same day and check whether the reschedule option is still live.
Why this happens
No-show rules are automated. Once the fee validity or the reschedule counter expires, a fresh payment is the only route.
At VFS Global / eVisa portal in India, Immigration Department of Malaysia sets the underlying rule and the centre applies it at the counter, so the fix below is the same whichever Indian city you apply from.
