As long as all required documents are filled and submitted correctly when you apply the Dubai e-visa online, visas will normally reach you by email within four working days of your application.

Residents of certain countries will have to pay a security deposit, which is refunded upon your departure from the UAE. This amount is usually equivalent to USD 272.5 + Taxes (note: as of dubaivisa.net website)

Currently, the UAE Immigration does not refund fees for rejected applications. However, security deposits will be refunded within four (international) working days of the application being returned.

The UAE authorities do not disclose reasons for unsuccessful visa applications in the case of a Dubai visa for Indians, so specific reasons as to why your application was rejected are not available to us.
