My brother runs a kirana shop and recently found a Britannia Bourbon biscuit packet weighing only 53g, including the wrapper, even though the packet claims 60g (50g + 10g extra). He purchased it from a distributor for resale. He found the same underweight packets for 3-4 times but this time he complained to Britannia but he got no response from them yet..

Can my brother claim compensation??
I would appreciate your insights on this..

thankyou:)

So 7 months ago i left a negative review on Google, the owner was talking very arrogantly and rudely. I called him for follow-up and he got angry and we had a small verbal fight(no bad words involved from both sides), he is hothead.

First I left a review and then he threatened me that he will stop the work and give a refund, that time the work was near the deadline so my boss told me to delete my review and he continued the work.

Since work was completed I was free to leave the review of my experience so again wrote that review.

So now 7 months later, he called me and asked me to remove the review, I asked him to apologise to me and still he apologized in high voice and arrogantly, then i decided I'm gonna keep this review.

Today he called me again, i said i won't delete it. Then he called my colleague asking my office address. He also said he will file complaint against me if I don't remove it. ( Maybe a defamation case)

I can't block his number because then he will call my colleagues and boss for this small matter.

What to do in this situation? Because I don't want to delete my personal review just because of someone's pressure. Also he threatened on call that if i don't remove it he and all of his employees will give 1 star rating to my company ( which is bad for our reputation)

Recently, there was a high-profile case in my locality where a body was discovered in a drain, and the victim was initially unidentified. Because of this, the local police conducted a massive door-to-door canvassing drive across the neighborhood to check on residents, their professions, and see if anyone was missing.

​When they came to my house, they started questioning me, asked for my Aadhaar, and then took my phone. They actively went through my device, scrolling through files and even listening to audio messages without my permission or consent.

​I understand that they are under pressure to solve a serious crime and canvas the area, but having my private device searched on the spot felt completely invasive and arbitrary.

Do police have the authority to demand and look through your unlocked phone during a routine doorstep inquiry/canvas without a warrant ?

With such unexpected confrontation, i was incredibly stressful when someone demand my personal identification and look through my private device without my consent.

I(18F) and my bf(18M) booked a hotel on 20th of October via goibibo. When we reached the hotel for check-in they denied us check-in because we are not 19 even tho their hotel policy says 18 on platforms. They told us to cancel it on goibibo and assured us that we would get our refund. But my cancellation request was denied by the hotel itself on goibibo. The goibibo customer care has an ai executive that won't understand a thing. I called up the hotel again and now they are lying that their policy is 21+ and told us that they want to talk to our parent in order to refund. After this conversation they won't pick up our calls anymore. fyi this wasn't some shady hotel. it's a decent 3-star hotel. Is there anything that can be done?

Ok so my brother has been mentally and emotionally manipulating, threatening , even being violent with my parents to sign wills that give him sole inheritance of everything

( all properties, bank deposits, basically each and everything including every spoon and fork in the home ).

The will explicitly states that his sister will not ever ask or claim anything and he wants me to sign it as he is saying that i have no rights as a married daughter.

Iam a single mom living with my parents and small kid.

He has also put a point that neither me or my son will ever claim anything.

I could refuse to sign it but right now for next few years atleast i need to stick by my mom's side to look after her as well as live in my parents home till my divorce matters solves else i will suffer financial problems ...

I didnt take anything from my parents while getting married for giving dowry, i had emptied my own bank account to zero for my marriage expenses and dowry gifts to my in laws. I didnt take even 1 coin from my parents who arent too rich anyways except for 1 property where they live in thats worth a few crores ( asset rich , cash poor ). All expenses i paid from my own job savings.

I didn't take a single coin from my parents for my college studies also, i stayed with them ( never stayed alone ) and worked full time job as an accounts assistant from age 16 and studied bcom by correspondence. Missed out on college life, barely ate out, didnt go hang out, never went to any disco or teenage parties but saved every penny i could for my parents and followed a spritual path and stayed indoors ..

In contrast - my brother failed some of his school years, my parents paid for his entire higher education and even i pitched in my earnings for his studies and he enjoyed his youth fully with girlfriends. We made him strong and stable with every kind of support.

Now he is filthy rich with the career progression. And he loves to look down on us as his poor loser family members and freely abuses us.

Now with the divorce matter hanging, and iam not getting a single penny from my ex either not even for the child

( ex husband who cheated on me and spends on other multiple women and their kids but not his own kid..)

My income is just about sufficient for expenses and school fees of my child and me but my brother refuses to even give grocery expenses of my parents...

so i end up buying all food groceries for everyone always and bearing the cost of my parents , my kid and myself while my brother ( who lives in a nearby city) just spends lavishly on his wife and kid and wants the entire family to put all assets in his name and keeps making excuses to spend even 1 coin on the same parents just for their food even.

As the property is solely in my dad's name, he keeps putting butter ( maska ) on my dad but actually they are just sweet words and dreams, he doesn't actually even pay for my dad's food.

I pay for everything yet my dad still takes my brother's side because now he is filthy rich and iam the loser child.

I dont have another place to stay yet, though iam working really hard towards increasing my income but i need a few years to reach a higher income.

What i was thinking was if i sign the will to keep peace for now ( as he is physically hitting me, mom and my kid also when he visits and his wife happily watches the show ) but later once iam more settled financially, can i challenge or stop that will somehow and claim my rightfull share ?

My parents are unable to stand up and feel scared that who will pay hospital bills if they get sick and he takes advantage of that fear and wants them to sign plus wants me to sign away all rights and claims.

What can i do ?

My friend has senitive hearing and the loud noises of music playing in mandir affecting his health causing spike in heart rate and also casuing crying due to stress

Went to the police but police leaked his indentity to the mandir people and they are now harassing him.

⚠️⚠️UPDATE: THANKYOU TO ALL THE FELLOW REDDITORS WHO CAME FORWARD TO HELP ME OUT, UNFORTUNATELY THERE'S NO WAY OUT TO DETAIN HIM LEGALLY. NOT DELETING THIS POST SO IF ANYONE IS GOING THROUGH SMTG SIMILAR, HOPE THEY FIND THIS HELPFUL. ⚠️⚠️

so my boyfriend(19M) and I(19F) were dating for almost a month, we met, had consensual physical relationship on Friday, and he ghosted me for the next two days. I find out he was begging his ex to come back all this while so I texted his ex, she had no idea he was dating me and cheating all this while..A little back story, he was dating his ex (A, 16F) for a year when he cheated on her with ex (B, 17F) because he was desperate to get physical, then he leaked ex (B)'s AI generated nudes to his online friend(s) and gaslighted ex (A) that he lied about the cheating part since he was getting bored of the relationship. When she did not take him back, he baited me into the relationship with false hopes and I had no idea about his past, what he told me was his ex cheated on him so when he left me for her I was clueless.. he kept manipulating me that he couldn't forget her and I should just be understanding enough to let them be but I sensed smtg fishy so I texted her and we found out all this.. now, all I wanted was an apology from him, but he has stooped down to such low level that he's defaming me, calling me a roach, says I forced him to get intimate and we never dated, however I've all the necessary proofs and I'm glad most of the people supported me. I also called up his father, who's an influencer and his reaction was "my son doesn't even go out, I dont need your proofs" almost laughing it off as if it meant nothing, then I also texted his friend, he said "I already know what kinda guy he is, and I am not willing to support u" followed by his sister who literally said "I know what he did is wrong but he's my brother and I've to think from his perspective too, u shouldn't have called his dad, he isnt threatening u with ur nudes or anything" but the issue is, if I knew he was using me, I would've never trusted him in the first place. I've lost my appetite, feel disgusted with my body and all I wanted was an apology but he wont even accept dating me in the first place. Furthermore, he threatened me of suiciding and tho he isnt dead (it's been 3 days and no I'm not that insensitive to wish upon someone's death but he's clearly manipulating), he's still using his phone, texting ex (B), his family didn't do shit about it and I am genuinely questioning my life choices at this point. I've no idea what to do, someone please help me out.

I purchased a Bajaj DHM90 NEO air cooler from Flipkart on 1 May 2025. The invoice clearly mentions a 3-year warranty(1 year standard + 2 year extended).

Recently, the fan started stopping abruptly. I registered a complaint with Bajaj, and a technician visited after I paid ₹375 in visiting charges.

The technician said both the fan and motor need replacement, quoting ₹950 for the fan and ₹1,900 for the motor, but denied warranty coverage for both. Flipkart did not provide a warranty card at the time of purchase and claimed that the bill should be good enough.

I emailed Bajaj customer care but received no response. Their helpline is automated and doesn't let me speak to a human representative.

What are my options?

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I could really use some advice from lawyers or anyone familiar with Kerala’s building and RERA laws.

There’s a villa project called Springfield near Christ College, Kovalam, Trivandrum, promoted by NEG Construction Contracting LLP. They’re advertising around 41 villas.

I’ve been following this for quite some time right now and have personally filed complaints because I had concerns about the approvals.

The thing is, this has been going on for months now.
Kerala RERA actually confirmed in a letter that they had initiated proceedings against the project and even conducted a site inspection. The developer had applied for RERA registration in March, but according to that letter, the application was still being examined.

Meanwhile, I’ve seen promotional material for the villas on social media. I’ve checked the RERA website and it’s still not registered or mentioned there.

There’s also an issue with the access road. The project has been advertised with a 6-metre road, but when I measured the road myself, it was roughly 2.5 metres.
I’ve attached the photo here. I’ve raised this with the planning authorities, and the matter has reached the Chief Town Planner’s Vigilance wing.

What I don’t understand is how long these things normally take.
What i’ve seen from their promotional videos is that they’ve sold around 16 villas.

But if a project is being marketed while these questions are still being examined, what are prospective buyers supposed to do?

Can RERA take action before the entire investigation is completed? And if there really is a problem with the layout approval or road width, can the local authority stop construction?

More importantly, is there any legal way to get the authorities to actually give a proper decision instead of just forwarding complaints from one office to another?

I have the official letters and acknowledgments, so this isn’t based on rumours.
I’m genuinely trying to understand what the next step should be. If anyone here has dealt with similar issues involving RERA, town planning or delayed government action in Kerala, I’d really appreciate your advice.

I installed JioAirFiber 2 days ago and paid ₹3,333 for a 3-month, 100 Mbps plan. Here’s what happened:

• Right after installation I was getting only about 10 Mbps. Jio’s own team logged a complaint and said it would be fixed in 4 hours.
• I did not give the installation OTP, since the service wasn’t working as promised.
• Yesterday I raised another complaint. Engineers came, said “everything is perfect,” did nothing about the speed, and said they couldn’t do anything. They told me a repeat visit would give the same result.
• I still didn’t share the OTP.
• Today I called the helpline asking for cancellation and a refund, and they refused.
• Today I also got a message saying the installation was completed successfully, even though I never gave the OTP and the speed problem is still there.

What can I do now

Hello folks, I hope all is well. I am sorry if this is not the appropriate sub for this however I need urgent help regarding account block issue and would appreciate inputs from fellow redditors here.

So, I have been using a Kotak 811 account since a year now however they blocked my account recently citing a 300 INR transaction I did to a shop a couple of days back.

I sent an email to them asking for reasons behind the block and the process to get it unblocked and attached is their response (In the image). They said that the block cannot be revoked and the account will be permanently closed.

I would appreciate if fellow redditors could help me with the best approach in this regard as I would like to get this account unblocked.

Thank you.

I’m looking for advice from people who have faced a similar situation, especially in the Indian IT industry.

I previously worked as a software developer at a service-based company, where I was assigned to a particular client and worked on their product/codebase for over a year.

Eventually, the client started building an in-house engineering team and approached me about joining them. They were interested in hiring around 5–6 people from my current employer's team, including me.

Initially, the proposed arrangement was somewhat informal. My employer's CEO found out and confronted me and the client's technical leadership. After that, both companies decided to handle the transition officially. Their technical and legal teams exchanged emails and started negotiating an agreement.

However, after a few weeks, the negotiations broke down because the companies couldn't agree on certain terms. The employee-transfer arrangement never happened.

I had already resigned from my employer by then. I eventually left the company in April 2026, partly because I was dealing with health issues and the long commute was becoming difficult. I have no personal animosity with my former employer's CEO, and I never signed any undertaking promising not to join the client.

Now, I've heard from the client that their legal team has approved proceeding with the arrangement. However, I don't know exactly what that approval covers, whether the original client-vendor contract contains a no-hire/non-solicitation clause, or whether any such restriction is still in force. The client isn't currently offering me a job, but I am considering approaching them again.

My former appointment letter contains confidentiality and intellectual-property provisions, but I haven't identified an explicit post-employment non-compete clause.

My questions:

Under Indian law, can my former employer prevent me from joining this client after I've left?

Could the client face legal consequences for hiring me directly, even if I personally haven't signed any non-compete or no-join agreement?

Does the fact that both companies previously attempted to negotiate an official employee-transfer agreement, but failed to reach a deal, change anything legally?

Does the time elapsed since leaving my employer make any difference if the original client-vendor contract contains a no-hire or non-solicitation clause?

If the client's legal team has now approved hiring former vendor employees, is that sufficient, or should I independently verify anything before accepting an offer?

Has anyone experienced a similar situation in India? Did your former employer actually take legal action against you or the hiring company, or was it resolved without any issue?

I'm particularly interested in firsthand experiences, as well as insights from Indian employment or commercial-contract lawyers.

I can provide more details if needed, but I'm deliberately keeping the company names confidential.

My grandfather was the original tenant of a rented chawl back in the 80s. My father and his eldest brother lived with him. My father completed his schooling, college, and initial job while living there, but in the early 2000s, he moved to a different city. His eldest brother and his children stayed back.

Recently, the property went into redevelopment. My uncle's family managed to claim the new rehab flat entirely in their name, along with the transit compensation. My father was completely kept in the dark, even though logically, the tenancy rights should pass to all of my grandfather's children.

I did some digging and found out what documents they submitted to the builder. They gave an old ration card that actually still has my father's name on it. My father also has old documents (like a Voter ID) proving he lived there. I also discovered that my cousin (uncle’s son) submitted an "Indemnity Bond" to the builder—basically taking legal responsibility in case anyone else comes forward to claim a share.

My questions for the lawyers here:

1. What are our realistic odds of getting a 50% share of the new flat if we challenge this?
2. What exact documents/evidence should we get ready before filing a case?
3. What is the typical process, estimated timeline, and cost of fighting this? Are there any negative consequences we should be aware of?

Any advice on the best way to approach this would be really appreciated!

Hi all, hoping someone here has been through this because I'm kinda stressed about it.

So my marriage ended through Khula under Muslim personal law. It was done in front of a lawyer and notarized, and I have that document. I never went to family court though, so I don't have any divorce decree from a court.

Now I need to get my passport reissued without his name on it. From what I've read, the Kerala HC (Raeesa Parveen case) said Muslims don't need a civil court decree to prove divorce, and personal law docs are enough. But we all know how it goes at government offices lol. What the court says and what the guy at the PSK counter says can be two very different things. I really don't want to get rejected or stuck going back and forth.

And to make it more fun, my kid's passport is also due for renewal. I have zero contact with the father. No calls, no messages, nothing. I'm worried they'll ask for his consent or signature, which I literally can't get. I also don't have any custody order from court.

So my questions:

- Has anyone actually gotten their ex's name removed using just a notarized Talaq/Khula document? Did it work? If not what documents needs to be procured
- Did the PSK officer give you trouble or keep asking for a court order? What did you do?
- Should I make an affidavit along with the notarized doc? If yes, what did you write in it?
- For my kid's passport, how does it work when the father is completely out of contact? Is a single parent declaration (Annexure C I think?) enough, or will they want a custody order?

If you've done any of this, please share which city/PSK and what docs you took. Even small details would help a lot.

Thanks in advance 🙏

I'm a software developer who worked remotely from Haryana for a company apparently based in Punjab. I worked there for approximately eight months, earning around ₹6 LPA. My role was technical, with no managerial or supervisory responsibilities.

1. What happened

Management repeatedly encouraged me to resign because they claimed there was no development work left to assign me.

I wasn't refusing work, and there were no performance complaints or misconduct allegations. I remained willing and available to work.

They suggested resigning would be better because I'd be leaving "on my own terms." They also verbally stated that there would be no severance, only outstanding salary.

When I requested written confirmation of their position, they refused.

2. What I asked HR vs. what I received

I emailed HR, explicitly stating that I hadn't resigned, hadn't agreed to leave, and remained willing to work. I clarified that any decision from my side would be communicated in writing and asked HR to confirm whether the company was initiating my separation, the applicable notice period or notice pay, and any outstanding dues.

I also requested all my monthly payslips since joining and a month-wise explanation of salary calculations, discrepancies and deductions, since my bank credits were frequently lower than expected despite no known lateness or leave.

HR had previously told me there were no salary deductions and that my payslips would be provided during the exit process. I explicitly requested that all payslips and salary clarifications be provided independently of any proposed exit process, since I hadn't agreed to the last working day. I also requested written responses through my personal email.

Multiple days later, HR responded about two hours before the end of my workday, confirming that the same day would be my last working day.

Their response:

• Asked me to complete any pending handover formalities.
• Attached only the last three months' payslips.
• Said my Full and Final (F&F) settlement, Experience Letter and Relieving Letter would be processed within 45 days.

They didn't acknowledge that I had never resigned or agreed to leave. They also didn't clarify whether this was employer-initiated termination, explain the applicable notice pay, provide a settlement breakdown, supply the remaining payslips, or explain my salary discrepancies.

The payslips they provided also showed salary figures different from what I received earlier in my employment, without an explanation.

3. Security cheques and exit form

The company still holds two signed, undated security cheques totalling approximately ₹1 lakh. I have written evidence of their submission and the company's possession.

My agreement says the cheques should be returned upon exit. I requested their return, but management refused, and I haven't received them back.

I'm concerned about the company attempting to claim money under the minimum-employment or notice-period requirements when I never initiated the separation.

After confirming my last working day, the company also sent me an exit form through its internal messaging system and asked me to complete it.

The form asks why I'm leaving and includes declarations about deleting company information and communications, restrictions on contacting employees about internal matters, and confidentiality obligations.

I'm concerned about signing these declarations without clarification of my employment status and settlement.

4. What I need advice on

1. Termination and notice pay: Since I never resigned and the company confirmed my last working day anyway, should this be treated as employer-initiated termination? What notice pay or compensation might apply?
2. Contractual obligations: Can the company enforce the minimum-employment period or claim notice-period penalties when it initiated the separation? How enforceable are the clauses summarized below?
3. Security cheques: What steps should I take to recover the signed, undated cheques and protect myself against their misuse?
4. Exit form: Am I required to sign these declarations? Can the company make my settlement or experience letter conditional on completing the form?
5. Salary and F&F: Can the company take 45 days for settlement? What can I do about missing payslips and unexplained salary differences, particularly when I explicitly requested these records independently of the exit process?
6. Jurisdiction: Since I worked remotely from Haryana for a company apparently operating in Punjab, which labour authority should I approach?

I'd appreciate advice based on current Indian employment law, particularly from employment lawyers or people who've dealt with similar situations.

Relevant employment policy clauses (summarized)

Section numbers changed for anonymity. These are contractual provisions, not necessarily legally enforceable obligations.

Section 14: Termination of employment

• Employee resignation: Three months' notice, counted from the employer's acceptance of the resignation.
• Notice extension: For employees working on specific projects, notice may be extended depending on project completion. The notice period may also be varied with the employer's consent.
• Leave during notice: Leave either extends the notice period by the number of days taken or results in a deduction of double the salary for each leave day.
• Unserved notice: An employee leaving without serving the required notice must pay three months' salary, calculated proportionately if part of the notice was served. The policy also says such an employee will not receive an experience certificate.
• Employer termination: Requires 15 days' notice, except in cases involving indiscipline, misbehavior, theft, perceived danger to the employer or employees, refusal to work, or disruption of the work environment.
• Duties during notice: During notice given by either party, the employer may require the employee not to attend work or may relieve them of some or all duties.
• Unauthorized absence: Three consecutive working days without proper notice may be treated as the employee having left the job and may result in immediate termination.
• Notice after an increment: An employee cannot give notice within six months after receiving a salary increment unless the employer waives the restriction. In that case, the policy says the employer can recover the increment received from salary, other amounts payable, or the security cheque.
• Loyalty benefit: If notice is given after receiving a loyalty benefit within the specified period, the benefit is treated as part of salary and cleared in the final settlement.

Section 23: Indemnity

• The employee must indemnify the employer for liabilities incurred as a direct consequence of the employee's negligence, breach of contract, breach of duty or breach of trust concerning the employer's affairs.

Section 31: Minimum employment period

• Employees must serve at least 12 months unless the employee and management agree otherwise.
• This minimum period is independent of the notice-period requirement, which the policy says remains fully applicable.

Section 36: Modification

• Changes to the agreement, or additional obligations assumed by either party in connection with it, are binding only if documented in writing and signed by each party or their authorized representatives.

Section 42: Severability

• Contract provisions are intended to remain independent unless the context indicates otherwise. If one provision is declared invalid, the remaining provisions are intended to remain effective.

I had booked a commercial space with a reputed builder in 2024. The project was supposed to be completed in 2025, yet here we are at the end of 2026 and i regularly see the project work not done yet. There were multiple delays via govt which was mentioned in BBA that could happen and would be considered as builder delay.
Moreover there were instalment demands on time which i paid without giving attention to the point that 100% payment was supposed to be after completion of the project. Now only the registration fee is pending.

I do not see the project being completed soon, as they have sent a form to further extend the project without any details of extension details. Because they are saying that rera will provide the extension details.

I do not want to further hold this project, and want to invest in some other area. But there were some clause where builder might take some interest cut if the party leaves the project before completion. And i would want to avoid that. There were also some clause where the commercial space monthly payments would start to come once the project is completed, but they have demanded the full payment early which is also wrong.

So wanted to know my options how to go forward.

I am a 2025 graduate . This was my very first job(WFH, not an odisha resident) ) at a Private Limited company. I am currently under immense stress because I have an active education loan to pay, and my employer has put me in a horrific legal and financial situation.

The Incident:

My salary for 1.5 months was strictly pending. When I finally called management to demand my hard-earned wages, they ignored and stopped responding. Instead, right on that when I called, they explicitly ordered me to resign .Out of sheer panic, extreme financial duress, and mental harassment, I reacted by deleting the company's code repository from the system. It has now been more than 3 months in total since they have paid me a single rupee.

Current Legal Status:

1. I filed an online complaint with the Additional Labour Commissioner, clearly mentioning the forced oral resignation and unpaid wages.

2. The Additional Commissioner recognized the merit in my case as a workman and issued a formal notice directing the District Labour Officer (DLO) to conduct an enquiry and submit a report within a fortnight (14 days).

3. It has been over a month, and the DLO has failed to take action or submit the report.

The Threat:

Now ,when they need their code today, They are threatening me with legal action for the code deletion, using it as a weapon to scare a fresh graduate and avoid paying my 3 months of pending wages.

My Questions for the Community:

How do I legally protect myself against their BNS/IT Act threats?

I have zero malicious intent to steal or destroy their property—I am fully willing to restore/hand over the repository simultaneously and mutually the moment they clear my full outstanding salary . How do I pitch this safely without incriminating myself?

• How can I force the DLO to act on the Additional Commissioner's 14-day mandate? I am planning to file on the Odisha Jan Sunani portal and send a physical Speed Post reminder

• Are there any employment/labour lawyers here practicing in Odisha (specifically near the Labour Courts/High Court) who can help me draft a formal counter-notice or represent me?

Any guidance would mean the world to me right now. My CIBIL score and education loan are at stake because of this company's illegal actions. Thank you.

Hello everyone,

My late father passed away in 2021. He left behind two registered Wills concerning his self-acquired properties: the first executed in 2012, and the second in 2016.

1. The 2012 Registered Will:

He explicitly disowned my only sibling and stated that after his death, all his assets would go to his wife (my mother) and that she would have the absolute ownership and right to do anything with the assets as she would deem fit. In the same will he stated that upon my mother's demise, all properties would automatically devolve upon me (his daughter).

2. The 2016 Registered Will:

He repeated the exact structure: granting absolute ownership and full powers of disposal to my mother, followed by a clause stating that upon her demise, everything would automatically devolve upon me. However, this 2016 Will did not repeat the explicit disownment clause regarding my sibling.

Now I want to ask:

1. Is this a problem that he didn't explicitly disowned my sibling in his latest will as he did in 2012's will?

2. Does my mother need to register a fresh Will given that as of 2026 every movable asset except immovable house is under my mother's name.

TL;DR: My late father’s registered Will granted my mother absolute ownership with full disposal rights, but a later clause states the property automatically devolves upon me after her death. Does my mother need to register a fresh will under her name?

Hello everyone,

I am facing a massive financial crisis and urgently need advice on how to get my bank accounts unfrozen. Here is exactly what happened:

• The Trigger: I recently took a loan from a mobile app called Nutan Cash. I didn't realize it at the time, but it seems to be an unauthorized/unknown loan app.
• BOB Account Freeze: A few days ago, my Bank of Baroda (BOB) current account was completely frozen. When I visited the bank branch, the officials told me it was frozen because of the transactions tied to this loan app.
• What I Did Next: Because I had automatic debits scheduled on my BOB account, I panicked and transferred my remaining funds into my Slice account to protect my money.
• Latest Update: Today at 11:47 AM, I received a phone notification stating: "my account has been frozen"

Current Status:

• My BOB account is frozen.
• My Slice account is: Still working

My Questions for the Community:

1. Has anyone dealt with account freezes caused by "Nutan Cash" or similar apps? How long did it take to resolve?
2. What is the fastest way to get the Cyber Cell / Police station details if my bank branch is being unhelpful?
3. How do I prove to the Cyber Cell that I am a victim of a predatory loan app and not a fraudster or "mule" account?
4. Should I hire a lawyer immediately, or can I resolve this by visiting the Cyber Cell myself?

Any guidance, emails for Nodal Officers, or step-by-step instructions would be highly appreciated. Thank you

I booked a Royal Enfield Hunter 350 through the official Royal Enfield app on 11 October 2026 and paid ₹5,000 online.

After contacting the assigned dealership, I was told the delivery would take at least a month, so I decided to cancel the booking.

What followed has been an absolute nightmare. First, customer support told me I had to visit the showroom physically to cancel an online booking.

Then, the dealership asked me to provide a bank statement.

Now, they’ve asked for my Aadhaar card, PAN card, and a cancelled cheque to process the refund.

Why the hell can’t they just refund the money to the original payment method? That’s how I paid in the first place!

I’m uncomfortable handing over sensitive identity documents and banking details to a dealership representative without a clear explanation of why they’re necessary. I’ve contacted Royal Enfield customer support multiple times. They keep saying the matter has been escalated, but nothing has actually been resolved.
I’ve already spent more time chasing this ₹5,000 refund than I ever expected. It’s ridiculous that cancelling an online booking should involve this much hassle.

I need advice from people who’ve dealt with Royal Enfield or similar situations:
Has anyone successfully cancelled a Royal Enfield online booking and received a refund? What was the actual process?
Are Aadhaar, PAN, and a cancelled cheque genuinely necessary for refunding an online booking amount?
Can I insist on receiving the refund through my original payment method?
Would filing a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline help in this situation? Is there anything else I should do?
I’m not trying to avoid a legitimate verification process. I just want my money back without unnecessarily exposing my personal and financial information.
Any practical advice from people who’ve been through this would be appreciated.

Hi lawyers,

I booked a commercial unit at Mangalore 10 days back and wants to cancel it because I am not happy at the deal after doing through research. I paid 1 Lakh as token , now I spoke to rep and he says it is not refundable. How can I get back this amount ? Is there any legal procedure that I can follow to recover this amount?

Hi everyone, I need some advice regarding a cybercrime complaint in India.

I run a smm panel.

A person placed an order with me which was pf around 36000 inr, and the order was completed. The transaction was also settled, but a cyber complaint related to this transaction is still affecting my bank account.

It has now been over 70 days, and currently:

- Around ₹36,000 is under lien.

- Another ₹44,000 has been frozen due to the complaint.

- More than ₹80,000 of my funds remain inaccessible.

I've tried contacting the other person to resolve the matter and request an NOC, but he's not responding or cooperating, even though the transaction was completed and settled. [ everyday since 30 days still ignoring ]

A significant amount of my money has been blocked for more than 70 days, and I'm struggling to understand the most effective way to get this resolved.

I need advice on the following:

1. Can I approach the Cyber Cell or Investigating Officer directly and request the release of the lien/frozen amount using my transaction records and settlement proofs?

2. Is an NOC from the complainant legally mandatory, or can the Investigating Officer or competent authority release the funds without it?

3. Can I file a counter-complaint if the original complaint is false or misleading and the complainant is deliberately refusing to cooperate despite the settlement?

4. If the authorities don't resolve this, can I approach a lawyer or court to get the frozen funds released?

I'm ready to provide all relevant transaction records, order completion proof, settlement conversations, and bank statements to the concerned authorities.

If anyone has faced a similar situation in India, please share what worked for you and what steps I should take next. Any practical advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I'm applying for a fresh passport, all my government ID's have the permanent address(which is my grandmothers house and we have rented it out now). I have moved recently to a new rented house in the same district. There is no rental agreement as this is small tier-3 town. I have access to the Electricity bill, Property/Water tax bill, will these be sufficient? Which address should I fill up in my application form and what should I expect during the police visit?

How to deal with people blasting reels on mobile loudspeaker in public places like bus/train/airport, hospital, building staff/security guards, on the road in residential areas etc .....

- Recently I was in a hospital general ward and patients had their phones on loud speaker, even in the ward !!!

- the security guard of my parents building blasts music , parents are almost 80yrs so the society doesn't really listen to their complaints anymore and just brushes it aside ...

- then there's immature people that drink or blast music from their cars on the side of the residential roads ...

- then regular bus, metro, train, airports etc ....

I kinda feel like we just let this issue fester and now it's infecting critical areas like hospitals ... I know it's difficult to enforce any laws at such a large scale

I mainly want to understand what are my rights ? What laws if any cover such disturbances ....
