January 10, 2025 at 7:01 pm2 weeks ago on Navi there was a bug in which while doing a mobile recharge through Flipkart UPI, you could select how much you could pay. I did a bunch of recharges worth Rs4000 for 1 rupee. They sent me a whatsapp message a week ago asking me to make the remaining payment.
Now my bank account shows a lien against it and I am not able to utilise the funds in my account. I was never contacted by the bank nor have they communicated to me about this.How can I proceed further. -

January 10, 2025 at 7:22 pmYou deliberately did something illegal. You’re paying the price.The clean hands doctrine is based on the maxim of equity which states that one “who comes into equity must come with clean hands.” This doctrine requires the court to deny equitable relief to a party who has violated good faith with respect to the subject of the claim.

January 11, 2025 at 4:14 amI don’t think they can lien your account for this. They can at maximum reverse the recharge? I don’t understand how the bank’s comply with this stuff. Its not like a court order or something. If i go and give a letter to the bank to mark a lien on Navi’s or Flipkart’s bank account, will the bank accept it? It’s completely ridiculous. Did the bank conduct any independent inquiry? Were you given an opportunity of being heard? I’m not a lawyer but this is just common sense & out of basic law taught to commerce graduates but it’s appalling to see half the comments here don’t understand basic law.Did you do wrong- maybe
Can they sue you- yes
Can they recover the amount from you- maybe
Can the bank mark a lien on your account for this- absolutely not imhoMake a complaint to ombudsman after escalating through the channels or otherwise take the bank to court

January 11, 2025 at 4:23 amThank you, I understand I did take advantage. Worst case scenario I thought they’ll reverse the recharge.But I don’t understand how the bank can mark a lien without any communication.
