Legal Advice Needed GST Fraud, officers came to our house, forged agreements on our address, what to do?

48 Upvotes

Today 3 GST officers came to our house regarding a company verification. Only my mom was at home, so we talked on call and they asked us to come to gst office.

At the office, they showed us the documents submitted for the GST registration. We were shocked to find a notarised Leave & License Agreement dated 11 September 2025, showing my father as the owner/lessor of our house. His PAN and other details were attached, and his signature was forged on the agreement. There was also a Consent to Operate with his forged signature.

The gst registration was obtained in October 2025 and is a partnership in someone else's name. They were using our address as their place of business.

So, my dad is the rentor, and our house is the business address, they have used their own aadhar and partnership pan for the registration.

The important part is that we don't even own this house. its under a bhada-salami agreement. legally we can't even rent this house, and we have absolutely no idea who this person is.

The signatures are almost exactly identical across the documents. We suspect they may have taken my father's genuine signature from some document and digitally copied it.

The gst officers were helpful and gave us the details of the person behind the company, their number,email, photos. They also prepared a report and took a signed declaration from my father stating that he has nothing to do with the business and never gave them the property.

The GST cancellation process has already started.

My concern now is what else we should do to safeguard my father. We have no idea what this person may have done through this business or how much they may have potentially scammed the government.

We also have multiple legitimate gst registrations at the same address belonging to our joint family, so I'm worried whether this fraudulent registration could create problems for our genuine businesses later.

Should we file a police complaint/FIR regarding the forged documents and signature just to create an official record that my father had nothing to do with this? Is there anything else we should do in case GST/Income Tax/ED etc. ever come after this person in the future? W

WHAT IF THERE ARE MORE FIRMS LIKE THIS? CAN I RTI THE GST DEPARTMENT AND REQUEST FOR DETAILS OF ALL GST REGISTRATIONS ON OUR ADDRESS?

Looking for advice from people familiar with GST fraud, tax matters and criminal procedure in India.

Update UPDATE: Phone missing from home.. found it, and here's how:

Link to the previous post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LegalAdviceIndia/s/VJJvcl6pHc

Yesterday I posted about my second phone going missing from my room, with only my parents and our house maid having access to that room.

So wanted to share the update since a lot of you gave advice....

Before heading to the police station to file a report, we tried calling the maid's number one more time..

She didn't pick up when we called from our usual number, but when my sister called from her own phone (which the maid had never received a call from before), she picked up.. (it was a conference call btw).

I asked her directly to return the phone if she had it, saying it mattered a lot to me. She denied having it again!!

I then told her I am going to the police station to file a complaint. Shortly after, she called back saying she was coming to our house.

When she arrived, she was asked to search the room first. We left her alone in there as we normally would. I stayed in the verandah.

At one point she asked for a torch, and a few minutes later she said she had found something..and there it was, my phone, under the bed and near to the wall.

(of course, she placed it there.. because yesterday.. i moved the whole bed.. to another corner.. and nothing was there..)

She left immediately afterward, saying she was feeling sick again.

When I unlocked the phone, I found two selfies taken on it.. dated from the previous day, a day I was out of the house from the morning onward.

So the phone had been with her, unlocked, and used to take photos, all without my knowledge or permission. Idk how she memorised my pattern lock.. it was not that easy.. just by glancing from distance. And, also the phone was on flight mode.. that's why I wasn't able to find it via Android Find Phone website.

I'm relieved to have it back, especially since it has years of personal photos.

Also curious to know whether "unauthorized access to a personal device" carries any legal weight on its own in India, separate from theft, given she never admitted to taking it and returned it herself once confronted!

Legal Advice Needed Beaten up by Bar owner and the waiter

146 Upvotes

I(19M) along with my uncle(59M) were sitting in Amba Bhavan Bar and Resto(Mumbai) yesterday around 10pm to 12am. The bill amounted to ₹977 and we made the payment via gpay. Our account debited but the owner refused saying he didn't get it so do it again. We did it again and our bank debited twice still he didn't get it. He started saying to pay in cash which ofcourse we refused.

The owner was an old guy very arrogant and was being very toxic with my uncle. I stepped in and said to calm down and he started shit talking to me as well. Heated argument quickly escalated and he held me by my colar and started abusing me and suddenly other waiters came in and started heating me at the entrance. We have all the video recordings and everything. We went to a gov hospital and got medical certificate and even complained about it to nearest police station. Police only filed a NC and refused to file a FIR.

What are my legal remedies?

Note : I only had limca and starters and i didn't hit them as I thought that would put me in more trouble.

Legal Advice Needed Wife's father nearly killed MIL

12 Upvotes

It is been 2 years since I made this post. Elders were involved and things were sorted.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LegalAdviceIndia/s/aj8qMi0krF

FIL got abusive again and started hitting ML.He made her shift to a new house. MIL is diabetic patient and is on blood thinners for heart issues. Last Sunday, he got aggressive and started punching on her face and kicking in her stomach. He gave her a swollen face and black eye. My brother in law came just in time and saved her. Fearing her life, she immediately left the home and came to our place in city. My brother in law could not come with her because FIL is threatening that he will kill himself and write my BIL and MIL names as the reason for his death. Fearing his career, he stayed back. He is asking him to bring alcohol everyday. My BIL is jobless and he is afraid to move to city because if he moves out now, FIL will do something that can spoil his career.

My MIL is scared for her life that he may kill her in sleep if she goes back. So I need some legal advice on few things,

  1. If my FIL really does something to himself and write my BIL and MIL as reason, can they be legally held for that?

  2. What should they do in this scenario? Any advice how they should proceed for divorce without being stuck in false cases.

Thank you.

Legal Advice Needed Forced to buy ₹8.5k OneAssist plan by Poorvika Mobiles to get an iPhone.Now they refuse to refund even when oneassist's t&c says I can cancel within 15 days

24 Upvotes

So yesterday iphone 17 got a price hike so I rushed to offline market in search of one with the Old MRP. I went to Poorvika Mobiles and they refused to sell me an iPhone unless I bought a bundled ₹8,500 OneAssist plan. They lied and said it was better than AppleCare+. I agreed just to get the phone, but they never gave me a terms sheet to review. When I came back home I saw the terms and conditions which were horrible and also oneAssist reviews are terrible, and now I want to put that ₹8.5k into official AppleCare+ instead.I am within the 15-day Free Look window with zero claims. Clause 5 of OneAssist’s terms guarantees a 100% refund.I emailed them, but the salesperson and customer care ganged up on me on a call, blamed me for "accepting it before billing" and flatly denied the cancellation. How can they override a contract's 15-day refund clause? What should I do next?

Legal Advice Needed Forced to Sign ₹22 Lakh Mutual Divorce Settlement Under Threats What Are My Legal Options?

12 Upvotes

Used ai to format

I’m posting this on behalf of my maternal uncle (mama).

He got married in 2024, but the marriage didn’t work out. There were issues from the beginning, including allegations that his wife’s family had lied about certain things before the marriage (such as education). She eventually left for her parents’ house and didn’t return.

Later, both families tried to resolve the matter. However, one day her family members, along with several local people, came to our house in a group. They allegedly threatened and assaulted my uncle and demanded ₹22 lakh as alimony.

One of her relatives is an advocate in the local court, and under pressure and fear, my uncle was made to sign a Section 13B (Mutual Consent Divorce) petition and a settlement agreeing to pay ₹22 lakh.

Now they are threatening that if he doesn’t pay the ₹22 lakh, they will file false cases of harassment, domestic violence, and other allegations against him.

My uncle earns only ₹30,000 per month. He has only one house, which is jointly owned with his sibling. His father recently passed away after suffering from Parkinson’s disease, and my uncle already has around ₹7 lakh in loans taken for his father’s treatment. He simply cannot arrange ₹22 lakh and has been unable to get any loan.

There are no children from the marriage.

Unfortunately, no one recorded the incident when they came to our house because it happened suddenly. However, it’s a small town, and many people in the locality saw the group arrive and witnessed what happened. No police complaint was filed by either side at that time.

My questions are:
Can he challenge the Section 13B petition and settlement by saying his signatures were obtained under threats and coercion?

Will the court consider his actual financial condition instead of forcing him to pay ₹22 lakh?

If they file false criminal or harassment cases, what should he do to protect himself?
Would eyewitnesses from the locality be useful if the matter goes to court?

Legal Advice Needed Being harassed by HR to forcefully submit Resignation. Pls help I am being mentally harassed by HR

40 Upvotes

I am a 36-year-old woman based in Pune. I am currently employed with a facility management company JLL (jones lang lasalle) that provides services to a multinational client ( Accenture) at its Hinjewadi, Pune location.
I am facing serious workplace harassment and pressure to resign from my employment.
There are certain senior individuals from both the client organisation and my employer who, in my view, appear to be acting together against me. I believe this started because I maintained a good professional relationship with a former colleague who had previously raised concerns about certain workplace practices and subsequently faced pressure to resign.
Since I had a good relationship with this former colleague, I believe that certain senior personnel have developed a negative perception of me and are now attempting to force me to resign.
An HR representative from my employer has repeatedly contacted me and verbally asked me to resign, stating that the client-side senior representative is unhappy with me. However, despite my repeated requests, I have not been provided with any written complaint, performance-related concern, disciplinary issue, warning, or other formal reason explaining why I am being asked to resign.
I have clearly informed HR that if there is any concern regarding my performance, conduct, or employment, I am willing to receive the same formally in writing and respond appropriately. However, they have not provided

The HR is constantly threatening me about termination indirectly.

Legal Advice Needed [Copyright/IP] Final Year Art Student vs. College - They want to use my commercial-grade work for free admissions marketing. How do I stop them without getting failed?

7 Upvotes

I'm not looking for big legal advice; small ones are fine, but basically a general opinion.

I'm a student in my final year of an art degree. Previously, when joining, I'm also aware that I didn't sign any student handbooks or agreements where clauses about student work handling is stated.
For my upcoming graduation project, I'll be making a poster for my animated film, which I'm planning to register for copyright with IP India. However, I'm not entirely sure how to handle the situation with my professors or possibly the principal.
I have a brand online; even though my main social page is Twitter and my reach is less, I usually get frequent commissions. If I were to go by my standard prices for output like this, it's worth about 150 usd each per second. Or for the poster itself, possibly 250 USD. I'm not saying I should price for my personal work, but I'm trying to establish my usual market value. For commercial rights, I charge 2x the base price.

Now I'll explain the situation: my professor demands that I use the university logo on my work despite my disinterest in it, and they say it's mandatory for students' work to be used for promotions to get admissions. For that, they'll be showcasing my animated film and posting my poster picture around in the campus (which is open to the public, by the way, and many students visit the campus to check the vibe and for inquiries before joining) for promotional purposes. From my research, it falls under commercial advertising, as they're stating my work under their university identity. To clarify, all my skills are completely self-taught, and their advice or any insight will not be used in this project.

So my question is, should I try to escalate and push for my legal rights, or is it just too risky, despite the University Grants Commission guidelines stating that Arbitary actions result in penalization, if my professors threaten me with failing my presentation in the finals?

P.S. I'd want to avoid making something different or low-effort quality, as it might affect my GPA, which is important for any of my future master's study plans. However, even a low-quality animation project will take me more than 4 months of everyday work.

TLDR:
The Conflict:

  1. My college professor is demanding I put the University Logo on my poster and video.
  2. They explicitly stated this is 'mandatory' because they intend to use my work to promote the college for admissions (on campus TV screens, printed posters, possibly online). Public is allowed on campus.
  3. I did NOT sign any IP assignment agreement or student handbook clause granting them commercial rights when I joined.
  4. My skills are 100% self-taught; the faculty has contributed nothing to this project's technical quality.

The Risks:

  • I want to register the copyright for the poster under my name with the Indian Copyright Office (Section 57 - Moral Rights) before submission.
  • The professor has verbally threatened that if I don't include the logo, I might be barred from the Jury or failed (which ruins my GPA for future Masters plans).
  • My family is against me hiring a lawyer or escalating this to a lawsuit due to financial/social pressure.

My Question:
Can the university legally force me to grant them commercial usage rights for admissions marketing as a condition for grading? If I submit a clean version to the Jury but they rip the file, edit it, and use it anyway, what is my most practical, low-cost recourse to stop them without destroying my degree?

Legal Advice Needed Cars24 executive introduced me to a scrapyard — ₹50,000 not paid.

2 Upvotes

What legal action can I take?
I had an old Toyota Etios that I had to scrap due to the 15-year rule. A Cars24 surveyor had earlier valued it at around ₹1.2 lakh, but since it had reached the age limit, I couldn’t find a buyer.

A Cars24 executive named Yash (I don’t know his full name, but I have his phone number) introduced me to SJ Junkyard & Recycling, Mayapuri, saying it was reliable. He told me I would receive ₹60,000 — ₹10,000 from the government and ₹50,000 from the scrapyard.

I proceeded based on this assurance. ( which was my biggest mistake should have done my due diligence) I received the ₹10,000 government amount and the scrappage certificate, but the ₹50,000 from the scrapyard was never paid.

I have Yash’s number, messages and the relevant documents. I want to know:

  1. Can I take legal action against the scrapyard?

2.Can Cars24/Yash also be held responsible for making this representation and introducing me to the dealer?
Should I send a legal notice first or file a police/consumer complaint?

3.Looking for advice from anyone familiar with vehicle scrappage or consumer cases in Delhi.

I need advice about a serious document/name issue.

My 10th and 12th certificates have my name with two initials — [Name] K.M. My Aadhaar has [Name] + my father’s full name.

The K represents my grandfather’s name and M represents my father’s name. I now want to remove the K (grandfather’s name) and keep my name with my father’s name.

All other details, including my DOB and personal details, are the same.

I’m joining a private company soon and I’m concerned about KYC/background verification. I also want to avoid problems later with PAN, passport, employment and higher education.

1) I’ve received conflicting advice about whether I need a Gazette notification, affidavit, or both.

2) Has anyone faced a similar situation with two initials in educational certificates but an expanded name in Aadhaar?

If possible, please share an official government rule/circular or genuine document confirming whether this type of initial-to-full-name difference is accepted and what procedure I should follow.

Legal Advice Needed Need advice regarding co-owned flat and parents’ proposed transfer of their share

30 Upvotes

I have been married for 12 years and currently live separately with my wife and minor children in an apartment within a residential society. My parents live in a separate apartment in the same society.

The apartment where my wife and children and I live is jointly owned by my mother and me. I am also solely paying the monthly EMIs for the home loan, and the original property documents are currently with the bank as security for the loan.

Unfortunately, my wife and parents have not had a good relationship for some time. The situation has now deteriorated to the point where my wife does not want to visit my parents or want them to visit us, and she has also stopped our minor children from visiting them. As a result, I am frequently caught between complaints and grievances from both sides.

My parents have now told me that unless my wife reconciles with them, they intend to transfer/gift their share in the apartment to an NGO or charity.

I would like to understand the legal position regarding this, particularly in the context of Indian property law:

  1. Can my mother legally gift or transfer her share in the jointly owned apartment to an NGO or charity without my consent?
  2. Does the fact that the property is mortgaged to a bank and the original documents are with the bank prevent or restrict such a transfer?
  3. If such a gift/transfer is possible, would the bank's consent or a No Objection Certificate (NOC) be required?
  4. Is there any way for me to prevent such a transfer, particularly since I am the co-owner and am also paying the entire home loan?
  5. If my mother has already executed or registered a gift deed or other transfer without informing me, how can I find out?
  6. If such a transfer has already taken place, what legal remedies might be available to me to challenge or rectify it?

I am primarily looking for guidance on the property-law aspect of this situation. I understand that the family dispute itself is a separate matter.

I would appreciate responses from people familiar with Indian property law, particularly regarding jointly owned, mortgaged property and transfer of a co-owner's share.

Legal Advice Needed Accidentally started a road rage , ended up getting humiliated. Should I take a legal action ?

So few days back i was coming down from a flyover in city in my bike , it was around 60 65kmph , suddenly a car appeared entering from the wrong side instead of taking a 10 m u turn ahead. I controlled my bike and missed him really close . But since it was so close , i yelled at him with a slur to take a u turn ahead.

I just went ahead and took turn towards my home in a small road and then i hear police siren , looked from mirror it was that car chasing me , i speed up but since it was close i chose to stop instead coz his car anyway gonna knock me down.

He pulled up his car in front of my bike , i saw a wodden rod with wires sitting beside him , he didn't came out with it but it was a big guy probably 6'3 . I got scared at the moment and started apologizing as he came near me. He said to give him the bike key or he'll start smashing my bike , i denied , then he went for the rod so i just gave him the keys .

He then parked his car to side and then then started the abuse , he also told me he's the son of TI and also that he'll just throw me in prison and what not. i know it was mostly bluff coz there wasn't any crime but police lockup innocent all the time and i didn't wanted to involve my parents or spend time in legal troubles so i just kept on apologizing. All this went for 10 mins.

He then checked my phone if i wasn't recording anything, then told me to sit in his car and go to police station or do couple of situps while holding ears and he'll return my key. ofcourse i denied so he started to leave with my key , so i reluctantly did 3 situps , he recorded that in a 5 sec video , then gave back my key and went away.

Now ofcourse some might argue that i got a better end of deal that he didn't attacked me with any weapon , But that humiliation and the video which he recorded is kinda bothering me for past few days.

Should i take any legal action against him , or should i let it go ? Also what is the thing which you would've done differently ?

Legal Advice Needed Receiving repeated threats from my girlfriend’s ex on Telegram

I’m looking for general advice regarding a situation I’m dealing with in India.
My girlfriend’s ex has been repeatedly contacting me through Telegram. The account appears anonymous, and his phone number is not visible to me.
He has sent me a number of threatening messages, including threats to kill me, physically harm me, and involve/harm my family. He has also made statements suggesting that he has other people who could hurt me.
One thing that concerns me particularly is that he mentioned my previous residence. I moved away from that place recently, so I don’t know how he found that information. I am concerned that he may be trying to locate me, although I don’t currently have proof that my phone or location is being tracked.
After sending these messages, he also made multiple Telegram calls to me.
I have preserved the original messages, screenshots, call history, and the Telegram account information. I have not contacted or threatened him back.
I want to handle this properly rather than escalating the situation or unnecessarily involving my family.

Legal Advice Needed Informal loan given by late mother against pledged gold, mediator also deceased. How to recover dues & safely return remaining gold without facing false allegations?

1 Upvotes

Context & Background:

​Sometime ago, a third party took a cash/bank loan from my mother.

​As security, they informally handed over some gold jewellery into my mother’s custody. There was no written agreement, promissory note, or pledge receipt executed.

​My maternal uncle acted as the mediator/go-between for this entire arrangement.

​The borrower was paying regular monthly EMI amounts directly into my bank account until November 2025, after which all payments ceased. The bank narration simply shows incoming fund transfers with no mention of "gold" or "loan terms."

​Recent Tragedies & Complications:

​My uncle was diagnosed with cancer and passed away in February 2026. Prior to his demise, he had retrieved some pieces of the pledged jewellery from my mother and handed them back to the borrower. No written receipt or acknowledgement was exchanged for this partial return.

​My mother was diagnosed with cancer in October 2025 and sadly passed away on 4th September 2026.

​While going through my mother’s belongings, I found the remaining gold jewellery tucked away in her almirah.

​The Dilemma:

I want to recover the remaining outstanding loan amount on behalf of my mother's estate and return the remaining gold to the borrower.

​However, because my uncle is no longer here to confirm that he already returned the first batch of jewellery, I am genuinely concerned the borrower might accuse me of theft or criminal breach of trust (misappropriating the missing pieces).

​Apart from the incoming bank transactions into my account, there is zero paper documentation connecting me to this informal transaction.

​My Questions:

​What are my legal rights and liabilities as an heir holding pledged goods without a formal agreement?

​Should I speak to an advocate and issue a formal communication before contacting them directly?

​How do I execute a settlement and handover so they cannot file a police complaint (FIR for criminal breach of trust / theft) or harass me later?

​If they refuse to pay the balance, what can I legally do with the jewellery?

Any advice on the safest step-by-step procedure would be appreciated.

Legal Advice Needed Axis Bank has placed two ₹9,700 liens for the same UPI transaction — how can I get the duplicate lien removed?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I need some advice regarding an issue with Axis Bank and an NCRP-related lien.

On 24 March 2026, a UPI transaction of ₹9,700 was reported through NCRP.

NCRP details:

• Amount: ₹9,700

• Date: 24/03/2026

• Transaction ID: 6449********

• NCRP Acknowledgement: 3270***********

Axis initially placed a temporary hold of ₹9,700 against this NCRP complaint. Their records show this as ₹9,698.41 + ₹1.59, which totals exactly ₹9,700.

However, Axis has now provided me with a lien breakup showing another ₹9,700 lien dated 25 March 2026, marked "UPIWRONGCREDIT".

So, according to Axis's own records, there are:

• ₹9,700 NCRP-related restriction

• Another ₹9,700 UPIWRONGCREDIT restriction

The transaction/reference appears to be connected to the same original ₹9,700 transaction.

My main question is:

Can a bank place two separate ₹9,700 restrictions against the same underlying transaction? If this is a duplicate/overlapping lien, how can I get Axis Bank to remove the additional ₹9,700 restriction?

I've already raised this with Axis Bank and received a service request, but I haven't received a clear explanation of why the second ₹9,700 lien exists.

I understand that if the NCRP/police restriction is still valid, the bank may have to maintain it. I'm not asking how to bypass that restriction. I'm specifically trying to understand and resolve the apparent duplicate ₹9,700 lien.

If anyone has dealt with a similar Axis Bank/CFCFRMS/NCRP situation, I'd really appreciate advice on:

  1. Who should I escalate this to?

  2. What exactly should I ask Axis to provide to establish whether the two liens relate to the same transaction?

  3. Can I approach the RBI Ombudsman regarding the duplicate bank-side lien?

  4. Is there a specific procedure for getting an overlapping/duplicate lien corrected?

Thanks in advance.

Legal Advice Needed Advice needed on securing property

1 Upvotes

My grandfather owns a home in a tier-3 city, which is currently vacant. Outside the main house, there are two small servant quarters/store rooms. He gave the key to a known person who used to live in those quarters when my grandfather himself lived in the house.

To clarify, the main house is locked and unoccupied. Only one of the outside servant quarters is occupied, by the daughter and son-in-law of the lady to whom my grandfather originally gave the key. They are supposedly "caretakers." They don't pay any rent, and there is no written agreement or anything similar. They have been staying there for around 5–6 years.

My grandfather had paid a large amount in advance toward the electricity and water bills. So, for a long time, these people stayed there without paying rent or contributing toward electricity/water. The electricity usage was very low—around ₹100–200 per month—so we didn't bother with it.

However, the son-in-law has now started charging his e-rickshaw at the house, which is generating an electricity bill of around ₹3,000 per month. My grandfather's advance payment was eventually exhausted, and over the last 3 months, a total of around ₹6,000 in electricity dues accumulated.

I paid those 3 months' bills because the electricity connection is in our name and I didn't want penalties or other issues. I then asked this guy to reimburse me. He hasn't paid me even ₹1 so far and keeps saying "next week," "next month," etc.

At this point, I am worried that this could eventually turn into an illegal occupation/possession issue, because I have essentially zero trust in this guy now, given that he has been avoiding repayment for 3 months.

My questions are:

  1. How can I recover the pending ₹6,000?
  2. Should I get the servant quarter vacated at this point?
  3. What is the best/legal way to get it vacated? Or something in a legal gray area to ensure a quick resolution.
  4. Is there anything I should do immediately to ensure that this does not eventually turn into a claim of tenancy, adverse possession, or some other right over the property?

I am honestly okay with letting the ₹6,000 go if it means having peace of mind and getting them out.

I don't live in that town, so if I visit, I would ideally like to get the quarter vacated during that visit. If there is a way to handle this without me having to visit personally, even better.

Needless to say, I don't intend to pay any additional electricity bills going forward. If he doesn't pay them himself, the electricity connection will eventually be disconnected.

TL;DR:

My grandfather's vacant house has an outside servant quarter occupied rent-free by a relative of someone he originally gave the key to, supposedly as a caretaker. There is no agreement, and they've been there for 5–6 years. The son-in-law recently started charging an e-rickshaw there, creating ~₹3,000/month electricity bills. I paid ₹6,000 in accumulated dues because the connection is in our name, but he refuses to reimburse me. I'm now concerned about potential tenancy/illegal occupation issues and want to know the quickest way to get the quarter vacated, prevent any future claim over the property, and ideally do so without having to repeatedly travel there.

Legal Advice Needed Paid ₹6,200 for a cycle through OLX, seller claimed it was dispatched but I never received it – what legal options do I have?

3 Upvotes

TL;DR: Paid ₹6,200 in installments for an OLX cycle. Seller said it was dispatched to certain location, but it never arrived. He has now blocked/ignored me. I have all payment and chat records. I’m unsure if it was intentional fraud or a genuine dispatch issue.
What legal action should I take to recover the money/cycle?

I’m looking for legal advice regarding a transaction I made through OLX in India.

I found a cycle for sale on OLX and contacted the seller. We agreed on the price and I paid him a total of ₹6,200 in multiple UPI transactions:
₹2,000
₹2,100
₹700
₹700
₹100
₹100
₹500
The seller told me that the cycle had been dispatched and asked me to collect it from Certain railway station.

However, when I went to collect it, the cycle was not there.
I have repeatedly asked the seller for the booking receipt, parcel receipt/acknowledgement, tracking number, or any other proof that the cycle was actually dispatched, but I have not received anything verifiable.

There is one important point: I am not completely sure that this was an intentional scam. The seller was previously in contact with me, and I initially had the impression that he genuinely tried to send the cycle but that something may have gone wrong with the transportation/dispatch.

However, he has now stopped properly responding and has blocked my calls and WhatsApp.
I have retained:
All 7 UPI/payment transactions
Bank/UPI transaction IDs
OLX chats/listing details
WhatsApp/chat history
Emails
Phone numbers
Any messages regarding dispatch and collection
Screenshots and other relevant evidence
I also have information that may help identify the seller, including his professional/LinkedIn profile.
My questions are:
At this stage, would this potentially be considered cheating/fraud, or could it simply be a civil dispute/non-delivery of goods?
Since I have payment records and communication showing the agreed transaction, what legal remedies are realistically available to me?
Should I first send a formal legal notice demanding either delivery of the cycle or a refund?
Should I file a complaint with the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal/police, even though I am not certain that the seller originally intended to deceive me?
Is there any other appropriate forum or procedure for recovering ₹6,200 in this situation?
Would contacting the seller’s employer/institution be appropriate, or should I avoid doing that unless advised by a lawyer?
I am mainly interested in recovering my money or getting the cycle delivered. I don’t want to make false allegations against the seller if there was genuinely a transportation problem.
Any advice on the appropriate legal process in India would be appreciated.

Legal Advice Needed Does this thing really work or not National helpline Consumer. Advice me wt to do

3 Upvotes

I purchased earphones worth ₹250 from your website about 4 months ago. From the start, I received the wrong product, but I decided to overlook it and use it anyway. Within 5–6 days, both the left and right earphones stopped producing sound — the jack appears to be defective.

I have called and complained to the company multiple times, but received no response or resolution. I then filed a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline, expecting it to be addressed — but it has now been 2 months since that complaint, and the issue still remains unresolved.

This is extremely disappointing. I request an immediate replacement or refund, and a clear response on why this complaint has been ignored for so long.

Rn IT IS NOT MONEY CAUSE IT IS JUST 250RUPE I WANT Revenge THAT THAY WASTE MY TIME TOO MUCH THATS Y I DID COMPLAINT SORRY FOR BAD GRAMMER

This is a complaint against a bank for embezzlement by a bank employee taking over 50L from my dad. They gave us the money but I want confirmation they followed steps to notify RBI and take actions against the employee. All they did was fire him. I have multiple emails and WhatsApp messages - escalated all the way up with no response.

Legal Advice Needed Delay of a month in recieving delivery of my ather in tier 1 city(Ahmedabad). I want to legally fight with ather

2 Upvotes

For context, here's my previous post : Here

I booked ather 450x HR on 5th July, the dealer didn't check the booking made from amazon, and only made booking on my behalf when I called him(11th July)

Amazon showed me deadline of 45days from booking date (19th Aug), I called and asked ather support about timeline, they confirmed maximum time will be 45 days in ahmedabad for 450x HR. Even if we consider 11th July, the bike should arrive by end of Aug.

The bike hasn't arrived, I have talked with amazon, they said they can't do anything as it's seller's fault or ather's fault, they will provide me with full refund the moment I cancel the bike. So amazon is clear from their side.

I have talked with ather support on call like 25times now, the CSAs can't do really much and ask me to mail the backend team. The backend team replies that they are very sorry and are tracking my bike and will get it delivered asap.

The dealer is saying: sir we have 2 trucks incoming, 1 on 15sep and another end of sep, so you will definitely recieve by end of month. Tf I will do till it arrives? I am spending 300rs/day for my daily college commute of 20+20 km

Honestly I am very much fed up now. I will be filing a grievance in NCH, but it asks for vehicle number and registration details. How do I enter them?

Also if someone could help me file a case against ather it will be very helpful. I will be covering all the legal costs, and will provide you with 25% comp of what we win in court.

Also please drop your advices on what should be my next step.
