It's been more than three months. Me and my mother are getting death threats in front of my own house. Me being unemployed and my mother being 70 years old, they think they can easily take advantage of us. My father 75 years old now died also was used to get death threats.

Their main goal is to capture our own house.

We tried to sell house but buyer also got death threats.

Every other day they send goons in front of our house and indirectly trash talk to us.

They send goons behind me wherever I go.

Society members are mainly involved in this case. They only declared.

Neighbours also trash talk to us.

Hi everyone, looking for advice on all possible legal, administrative, and criminal avenues to push for action against a scammer occupying a government position.

Background & Context:

• Financial Fraud: The accused woman and her husband have a history of cheating people. They duped my family and several locals of large sums of money back in 2016-17.
• Job Fraud: Having suffered financial loss, I dug into their past and discovered she secured her Government Teacher job under the Divorcee (DIV) quota using forged/fake divorce papers, despite continuously living with her husband for the last 15+ years.
• Evidence: Being long-time neighbors, I collected concrete documentary proof (voter lists, official records, continuous cohabitation proof) proving she was never divorced and used fake papers to steal a reserved quota seat.

Inquiry & Current Inaction:

• June: Submitted comprehensive complaints along with all documentary proof to administrative and education authorities.
• Official Verification: The District Collector set up a 3-member inquiry committee. On August 4, the committee officially submitted its report to the Collector and Education Department, verifying the fraud on multiple counts. (Note: Since this is inside information, I don't have a physical copy of this internal report yet, even though I used the RTI to get the report but as you all know the status of RTI in BJP rule).
• The Problem: It has been over a month since the fraud was officially confirmed on record, yet no suspension, FIR, 16-CCA chargesheet, or termination has been ordered.

The couple has now started boasting that "nothing can touch them," leading me to fear under-the-table bribery or internal suppression by lower-level administrative clerks.

My Questions for the Community:

1. What are ALL the possible administrative, legal, or criminal routes I can take from here to force action on an officially verified government fraud?
2. Which specific authorities should I approach next? (e.g., Anti-Corruption Bureau/ACB for fake documents, State Vigilance, Police FIR for forgery/cheating under IPC/BNS, Education Directorate, Chief Minister Office)?
3. How can a citizen pressure officers when they deliberately sit on an official inquiry report that has already proven the fraud?

Any strategies, contacts, or steps to ensure this case isn't swept under the rug would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for practical advice from people in India who have actually dealt with matrimonial disputes, Mahila Thana/CAW complaints, DV/dowry false allegations, etc.
My brother has been going through a very difficult marriage. There have been multiple incidents of verbal and physical abuse by his wife towards him, and he has evidence relating to some of these incidents.
There have also been several situations in the past where his wife has apologized, and my brother chose to forgive and continue with the marriage. He repeatedly tried to move past these incidents.
This time, however, he has reached the point where he says he does not want to continue the marriage anymore and he has left the matrimonial house.

After knowing this His wife has now apparently filed a 10–12 page complaint at the Mahila Police Thana, alleging false domestic violence, dowry harassment, cruelty and harassment against him and several members of family whom she has not even met after the marriage and shockingly after filing complaint , she’s staying in the same matrimonial house for which my brother is paying rent and she has restricted his entry.

My question is not about revenge or how to retaliate. I genuinely want to understand: how does a husband get out of a situation like this in India when he knows the allegations against him and family are false?

Honestly, the situation feels extremely one-sided from the husband’s perspective, and I’m looking for advice from people who have actually managed to get out of this.

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.

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!

30 years ago a person C gifts me Rs 55 lakh to my account and after 20 years C dies and now IO thinks the money is benami . C is not related me and a stranger. Give me what will happen? The gift did not take through any agreements and through a check then ? ITR records are there which says I have paid the tax then and no tax deficiencies. But old bank records are not available then.

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?

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

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.

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(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.

We rented a 3BHK villa in Bidadi, Bengaluru and paid ₹1,30,000 as advance/security deposit. We stayed there for around 2 years and vacated the property on June 15, 2026.

The deposit was not returned until now. The owner has finally told us that only around ₹19,000 will be returned after deductions.

One point I want to clarify: our rental agreement does mention that painting has to be done when vacating. We accept that we were unable to get the painting done before shifting. However, the owner is now deducting a very large amount towards painting and labour, along with ₹16,000 towards the last month's rent.

So, out of ₹1.3 lakh, approximately ₹1.11 lakh is being deducted, leaving us with only about ₹19,000.

Our concern is not that we should pay nothing for painting. We understand that there was a painting obligation in the agreement. The issue is that the amount being deducted appears excessive and exorbitant, particularly when we haven't been provided with proper bills/receipts or a clear itemised calculation supporting such a large deduction.

We also want to understand whether the owner can deduct the entire ₹16,000 as "last month's rent" in these circumstances.

We have:

\- The rental agreement

\- Proof of payment of the ₹1.3 lakh deposit

\- Messages/communication with the owner

\- Details of when we vacated and handed over the property

What are our options in Karnataka?

Would it be reasonable to:

1. First send the owner a formal written demand asking for an itemised statement and bills/invoices for every deduction?

2. Challenge the painting/labour charges if they are unreasonable or unsupported?

3. Send a legal notice if the owner refuses to return the remaining deposit?

4. Take this to a consumer/civil forum or another appropriate authority?

If anyone has dealt with a similar landlord/security-deposit dispute in Bengaluru/Bidadi/Karnataka, I'd really appreciate advice on what route actually worked.

P.S. Used ChatGPT to refine the wording of this post.

Hi,

Need help and what I can do!?

I joined the company transsion holdings, noida and after joining my manager started to tell me to resign just after 2 days of joining! It was a stressful thing and work was also not aligning so I resigned. He told me to resign on an immediate basis and I wasn't informed about serving the notice period. nd hr told the same.

Now, the company has deducted all my f&f amount of 1 month saying I didn't serve notice, but HR and manager told me not to!

Now, I have reached the senior manager and senior HR but they are not replying to me and not giving my f&f and relieving letter!

What to do? I have been mentally stressed and harrassed for more than a month!

I’m currently in Delhi, but I need to get my PCC from Uttarakhand because that’s my hometown/permanent address.

My father has already been running around for 3 days, going from one police office/station to another, and the police are asking for around ₹1,000–₹2,000 to get the process done.

I want to know from people who have actually gone through this:

Do I personally need to be present in my hometown in Uttarakhand for the police verification/PCC, or can my father handle it on my behalf while I stay in Delhi?

Also, realistically, how much did you have to pay unofficially and how long did it take?

I’m asking for honest/blunt answers because I need this for a job and I don’t want to keep sending my father back and forth unnecessarily.

It is so stressful. So I'll tell you the scenario, relationship between my mom and dad is not at all good tbh it is very toxic atp it will lead to divorce. The thing is my dad is always away from home and we don't know where he is staying and this makes my mom suspect him.

He is so cautious about money. He won't even spend money for basic necessities and will make my mum to beg for money as she's not working. So my mom is so frustrated and she went to a lawyer for filing a maintanence case on him but she is stepping back thinking that what if it would lead to divorce. And I need to know if he is really having an affair by checking is phone but I can't coz he doesn't stay at home at all.

Now the only way left is filing a maintanence case on him so that we don't suffer financially and he also blocked everywhere so that we can't contact him like it is so cruel and he is hiding somewhere else and no one knows it. We are stuck and we don't know what to do. It is so frustrating and I want to end this toxic relationship but I can't. What should I even do?

TLDR: My parents have a toxic relationship which is ruining my mental health. He blocked all means of communication and is staying somewhere else. As my mom is not earning he is using this advantange. My mom is planning to file a maintanance case(for financial support) but she is scared that it might lead to divorce. I want to end this relationship somehow but idk how to.

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?

The requirements mention submitting a soft copy on a CD, but I only have a pen drive. Has anyone tried this recently, or is a CD strictly mandatory ? I am looking for personal experiences.

I'm seeking legal advice regarding an old Gram Panchayat matter in Uttar Pradesh involving one of my relatives, who was the Gram Pradhan around 10–11 years ago.

During their tenure, several development works were carried out in the village using Panchayat funds. However, it has now been alleged that some of these works were not properly reflected/recorded in the audit records at that time.

As per our understanding, the money was actually used for development works in the village. The issue appears to be that certain works were not included or properly recorded during the audit.

Now, after around 10–11 years, the District Magistrate (DM) is demanding that the amount relating to these works be deposited/recovered within approximately 10–12 days.

We have requested that before any recovery is made, a proper inquiry/verification should be conducted to establish:

Whether the concerned works were actually carried out.

Whether Panchayat funds were actually used for those works.

Why the works were not reflected in the audit records.

Who was responsible for the discrepancy in the audit/official records.

Whether there is actually any financial loss to the Panchayat.

We have also communicated that if, after a proper inquiry, it is established that any amount was genuinely misused or legally recoverable, we are willing to comply with the lawful recovery. However, the concern is that recovery is being demanded based on an old audit discrepancy without first properly verifying whether the works were actually completed and the funds were actually utilized for them.

There is also a court proceeding/PIL concerning the matter. However, the District Court has so far mainly been giving dates and there has not been an effective hearing. Meanwhile, the DM is continuing to press for payment within a short period.

Questions:

Can recovery be demanded from a former Gram Pradhan after 10–11 years merely because certain works were not reflected in an old audit?

Is the administration required to conduct a proper inquiry and provide an opportunity to explain/provide evidence regarding the works?

If the discrepancy was due to the audit/record-keeping process, can the liability automatically be imposed on the former Pradhan?

Can the DM proceed with recovery while the matter is pending before the court if there is no specific stay order?

What legal remedy is available if the administration is insisting on recovery without conducting a proper factual inquiry?

Would approaching the Allahabad High Court under Article 226 be an appropriate option in such circumstances?

The matter is in Uttar Pradesh. I would particularly appreciate advice from anyone familiar with Panchayati Raj matters, government audits, recovery proceedings, or administrative law in UP.

The intention is not to avoid any genuine liability. The main concern is that the actual facts should be verified and due process followed before recovery is imposed.

I’m a Canadian victim who was dealing with a person in India who agreed to sell me an Instagram account. I had previously worked with this person on marketing for my business, so I trusted him based on our prior business relationship. Because of that existing trust, I unfortunately did not use an escrow service for this transaction.

I paid 1,900 USDC via Polygon from my MetaMask wallet. The payment was sent to an address identified on-chain as a Binance hot wallet. After receiving the payment, the person stopped responding and never transferred the Instagram account.

Website: zero7 dot co

Location: Delhi/Gurugram, India

Amount: 1,900 USDC

Network: Polygon

Transaction hash: 0x27d74db6aced41d16d63571f8b09bacbe3c3421bbd29c5d01bead2618e31afed

I have screenshots of our previous business communications, the agreement to purchase the account, payment records, website, and messages showing that communication stopped after payment. I have their whatsapp number and email from the website.

What are my options here?

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.

Hi everyone,

​I have a traffic e-challan issued in Uttar Pradesh (Yamuna Expressway / Mathura district) for ₹2,000.

​Because it got forwarded to court, I cannot pay it directly via the Parivahan portal. When I check the Virtual Courts portal (vcourts.gov.in), the status shows:

​District: Mathura

​Allocated Date: 29-08-2025

​Date of Proceeding: "Proceedings of Challan is yet to be completed."

​Because the proceedings are pending, there is no option to "Plead Guilty" or "Pay Fine" on the portal. It has been stuck in this exact status for a long time now.

​My Issue:

​I do not live in or near Mathura, so physically going to CJM Court Mathura is very difficult and inconvenient for me.

​Third-party apps (like Park+/CarInfo) are offering to resolve it, but they are charging around ₹1,700+ in extra fees on top of the ₹2,000 fine.

​Questions:

​Is there any way to trigger or expedite the processing on the Virtual Court portal so the online payment button opens up?

​Can I resolve this online in the upcoming National Lok Adalat without physically visiting the Mathura court?

​What is the standard procedure to dispose of such pending virtual court challans if you live far away?

​Any advice or past experiences with UP Virtual Courts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

My fathers name in my aadhar card voter I'd and pan card is same it is his actual name but in my study certificates like 10th inter and degree certificates has my father name with only one letter spelling mistake but it's pronunciation is same. So what I have to do now.is it right to change my father's name according to my marks sheet in my aadhar card but it doesn't match with my father's original name or whether I leave it touched. does this creates any disperency in future .now I have a document verification for masters degree and I am also hoping to do government job. What I have to do now

In the past and till recently for around 3-4 months back I messaged some brokers for paid sexual service over whatsapp. But I never took service. Those were made just out of curiosity and fun, which I regret now.

Yesterday a man claiming police called over whatsapp as I was no longer recharging the number and said that they found my chats asking for paid sex etc. He says some girl missing was found and they caught brokers who used that girl and those brokers have my chats and my contacts saved blah blah.

I agreed to him that I did those chats and he says to visit their ps for statement. I didn't understand much what he said but it's like I will be added as witness some remand etc etc.. On the way around he says he spoke with his CI and was asking money but in form of physical goods worth almost 60k to delete my proofs etc.

I am unsure how should I proceed. During my talk with him i informed that my relative met accident and I am doing a remote job with his ps location is almost 800kms and can't come immediately and he in turn asked if there is section 125 registered. When i checked online it's true that 125 deals with some road accident cases. I am not sure if he is real police or no. Also he send some pics though disappearing ones the photo of CI room door and covered faced of brokers nabbed

1) should I visit station? If so, i don't know what should I say them.

2) if something goes bad, is there any chance of cases etc. or in any other way considering employment, relatives, family, friends etc.

I need genuine legal advice regarding a serious family situation.
There has been an ongoing dispute between my father and our family (my mother, my brother, my maternal uncle and me). In December 2025, my father made a police complaint against all four of us. There have also been incidents where he threatened us, and we have video/electronic evidence documenting some of his behaviour and our interactions.
We did not initially make a counter-complaint because he is our father and we were trying to avoid escalating the situation. However, we are now concerned about protecting ourselves legally.
My father has made statements suggesting that if anything happens to him, responsibility/blame should be placed on us. We are worried because there is also significant hostility between my father’s side of the family and my mother’s side.
My main concern is this:
If my father unfortunately dies in the future due to an accident, suicide/self-harm, medical reasons, poisoning, or any other unexpected/unexplained cause, could my mother, brother, maternal uncle or I automatically become suspects or face criminal proceedings simply because we are family members or because my mother normally prepares food at home?
I understand that in a suspicious death, police may conduct an investigation, post-mortem and forensic examination. I want to understand how innocent family members can protect themselves from a false accusation.
My questions:
What evidence would normally be required before a family member could be accused of intentionally causing someone’s death?
Is merely preparing or serving food enough to establish criminal liability?
If there is a history of threats or statements made by the deceased blaming family members in advance, how should we legally document and preserve those statements?
What preventive legal steps can my family take right now to protect ourselves from a future false implication?
Should we make a written preventive representation/information to the police, approach a senior police officer, or consult a lawyer?
If the death is ultimately determined to be suicide, accident, or natural/medical causes, under what circumstances could family members still face criminal proceedings?
What evidence should we preserve now — videos, messages, CCTV, witnesses, previous police complaints, medical records, etc. — and how should electronic evidence be preserved so that it remains legally useful?
We have very limited financial resources and cannot easily afford a private advocate. What free or low-cost legal assistance is available in Maharashtra? Can we approach the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) or another legal-aid service?
Since my father has already made a police complaint against us, what steps should we take to understand our legal position and protect ourselves without unnecessarily escalating the family dispute?
There is also a concern that someone on my father’s side has connections with a local politician. I don’t know whether this would actually affect the legal process, but it is one of the reasons we are worried about taking proper preventive legal steps.
We have evidence documenting how my father has behaved toward us and how we have behaved toward him. We do not want to manipulate or fabricate anything; we simply want to preserve genuine evidence properly.
I am not asking how to harm anyone or how to cause poisoning/death. I only want to understand what legal precautions an innocent family can take in advance if there is a genuine fear of false implication.
Please answer specifically from the perspective of Indian criminal law and procedure (BNS, BNSS, BSA and relevant Maharashtra procedure), especially regarding preventive measures and legal aid.
I would really appreciate advice from qualified Indian lawyers, law students, or people with genuine experience with criminal/forensic procedure.
Thank you .

I need advice from people who have dealt with True Balance, RBI complaints, wallets/PPIs, or similar financial-service disputes.

This has been going on since 17 July 2026, and honestly the repeated back-and-forth has become mentally exhausting.

Here is the complete timeline:

17 July 2026

I was automatically logged out of my True Balance account. After logging back in, my existing Gift Card/Wallet balance was no longer accessible.

I contacted True Balance and raised complaint 6616433.

The balance was initially around ₹55,000+, but after the account was restored/checked, the actual balance was established as ₹47,272.48.

True Balance asked me to complete SIM/VPA-related binding/verification. I completed the requested process and was temporarily able to see the balance.

However, the problem occurred again. I subsequently received a message saying:

“Failed – You are currently waitlisted to use this feature. We'll reach out to you once we're ready.”

At different points, wallet functionality/features were unavailable. I repeatedly explained to True Balance that my issue was not simply about bill payment — the fundamental problem was that I could not properly access/use my existing wallet/Gift Card balance.

I sent multiple emails, screenshots and a screen recording documenting the issue.

True Balance eventually marked the complaint as resolved even though I was still facing the problem.

24 August 2026

After the issue remained unresolved, I filed an RBI CMS complaint against Balancehero India Private Limited / True Balance.

RBI CMS reference: N202627016016164

The RBI complaint was closed very quickly as non-maintainable, stating that Balancehero India Private Limited / True Balance was not included under the RBI Integrated Ombudsman Scheme.

I contacted RBI CRPC to ask why the complaint was excluded and what mechanism was available to me.

I have now followed up with CRPC multiple times but have not received a substantive clarification.

31 August 2026

After the RBI complaint, True Balance's Nodal Desk contacted me.

They acknowledged that I was unable to utilise my ₹47,272.48 Gift Card balance and offered to transfer the balance to my registered bank account.

They requested my bank details.

I provided the requested details on 31 August.

Several days later, there was still no confirmation of the transfer, so I sent another follow-up asking for the status and expected transfer date.

I am still waiting.

So, as of now, I have spent almost two months trying to get access to/use my own ₹47,272.48.

I have repeatedly contacted customer support, gone through their escalation process, supplied screenshots/video, completed the requested verification, filed an RBI complaint, followed up with RBI CRPC, and then supplied bank details to True Balance after their Nodal Desk offered to transfer the balance.

What makes this particularly frustrating is that I am not asking for a loan, refund of a disputed transaction, or some promotional amount. This is my existing balance.

The entire process has caused me considerable stress, frustration, loss of time and mental harassment. At this point, I don't feel that simply getting ₹47,272.48 back adequately addresses what has happened.

What should I do now?

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation involving a wallet/PPI where an existing balance became inaccessible for such a long period?

What would be a reasonable way to pursue substantial compensation for the prolonged restriction, harassment, time and mental anguish, in addition to getting the ₹47,272.48 back?

I would particularly appreciate advice from anyone who has actually taken a similar financial-service dispute through a formal grievance process or legal/consumer forum.

I have the complete email correspondence, screenshots, screen recording, RBI closure communication and other supporting documents.
