April 12, 2025 at 3:32 pmHereâs the blunt truth about what youâre dealing with in Chhattisgarh and how to manage the situation with this whole succession certificate thing.1) **Cost Breakdown:**
– First off, this lawyer quoted you 8% of the value? Thatâs **ridiculous**. Anything over 5% is highway robbery. Typically, in Chhattisgarh, lawyers charge anywhere from 2-5% for a succession certificate depending on the value of the estate.
– **Court fees**: Expect around Rs. 500 to Rs. 5,000 depending on the value of the assets. Itâs not much, but it can vary.
– **Notice in newspaper**: The court will ask for a public notice in a local newspaper, which costs around Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 5,000.
– **Total estimate**: Ideally, for a 50 lakh estate, you’re looking at around Rs. 1 lakh max if you’re paying fair fees (including the lawyer, court fees, and newspaper notice). If the lawyer is asking for 8%, then thatâs pure daylight robbery. Get a second opinion.2) **Timeframe:**
– 6 months? Yeah, thatâs realistic. It can drag on for up to 1 year in some cases, depending on how complicated the paperwork is and if anyone raises objections. Donât expect instant results. Courts move slow, especially in smaller states.3) **Risks to Manage:**
– The biggest risk here is someone raising objections, like other relatives who may come out of nowhere to claim a stake. If thereâs no will or nominee details, expect some family drama. Be ready for that. If no one contests, it should go smoothly.
– Another risk is **incorrect paperwork**. If anything is misfiled or wrong, it will get delayed even more. You need a lawyer who knows their stuff, not one just trying to collect a fat fee.
– Donât ignore the **public notice**. If no one sees it or challenges it, youâll be fine. But if someone objects, they have the right to contest, which could delay things further.4) **Payment Structure:**
– **Link payments to success**, obviously. You donât want to pay the full 8% upfront. You can either do a **fixed retainer** (say 10-20%) to start and the rest only after the certificate is granted.
– Make sure **no advance full payment** without clear deliverables, or youâll end up getting scammed. Always have a clear agreement that says youâll pay in installments based on progress, or better yet, success.In summary:
– Donât let anyone fool you with over-the-top fees. A reasonable lawyer should be asking for a flat fee or a percentage that doesnât cross 5%. Get multiple quotes.
– This whole process will take some time â donât expect quick results, but manage your risks by making sure youâre on top of the paperwork and are ready for family disputes.
– Pay only for results. Link any further payments to actual progress or the certificate being issued.Make sure you keep everything documented. Donât take any chances with these sharks.

April 12, 2025 at 3:28 pmThis whole situation stinks from top to bottom. Your family is dealing with a fraud of epic proportions, and everythingâs turning into a political circus with no one lifting a finger to help. First things first â Iâll tell you what you already know: this is a goddamn mess, and itâs happening because the system is corrupt and lazy. But let’s see how to fight back.### Immediate Steps:
1. **Legal Action – File a PIL (Public Interest Litigation)**:
Since the court process is dragging and the lawyer is useless, you should consider filing a PIL. In cases like these, when thereâs clear evidence of manipulation and public interest is at stake, PILs can help speed things up. It forces the system to look into it.2. **Change the Lawyer or Go Public**:
The current lawyer is clearly in on the game, asking for a 25% cut? Absolute scam. Fire him. If you can’t afford a good lawyer, look for NGOs or legal aid groups who might take on such cases. In Delhi, there are many organizations that work on family disputes and inheritance fraud, especially for underprivileged families. They may not cost as much as your current lawyerâs bribe. One option is **Delhi Legal Services Authority (DLSA)** â they might offer some help.3. **Investigate Political Influence**:
So, your cousin now has a political ticket? This complicates things, but it also opens a door. If this is connected to a political party, you should explore reporting it to the **Election Commission**. They take electoral fraud seriously. If there’s clear evidence that this fraud is related to a political agenda (i.e., buying votes or silencing opposition), they may act, especially if you can gather more evidence or bring public attention to it.4. **File a Complaint with the Bar Council**:
Since the lawyer is clearly in on the fraud and not doing their job, you should file a complaint with the **Bar Council of Delhi** for malpractice and unethical conduct. If that lawyer has been accepting bribes and botching the case, it could help you take action against him. This will at least make it harder for him to continue the fraud unnoticed.5. **Press and Social Media Pressure**:
Politicians hate negative publicity. If your family can get a local journalist or social media influencer involved to blow the lid off this case, youâll have a lot more attention on the fraud. This could put pressure on the corrupt lawyer, the court, and even the police. You can approach **Delhi Press Clubs** and news outlets like **NDTV**, **India Today**, or **Times of India**.6. **Medical Documentation of Mental Illness**:
Since one of the sisters has developed paranoid schizophrenia as a result of the stress, make sure to have all medical documentation in order. This could add weight to the case, especially if thereâs any sign that she was manipulated during the fraud. If you can prove that one party took advantage of her condition, it might help you dismantle the fraudulent will.7. **Police and FIR Issue**:
As for the police not filing the FIR because of the political connections, this is where public pressure and the media can really help. You might want to try filing a **complaint at the Delhi Commission for Women** if this involves harassment and abuse. If the police wonât file the FIR, escalate it to their senior officers or the **Delhi High Court**. They can intervene if the situation is serious enough.8. **Real Estate and Rent Collection**:
The rent being collected is a big clue. Keep track of it. Take photos, and if possible, document whoâs collecting the rent, when, and from where. If these properties are still being rented out, this could be evidence of ongoing fraud. If you can find someone who has knowledge of these transactions, use them as a witness.### Long-Term Approach:
– **Join Forces with Other Families**:
This is not an isolated case. If you start reaching out to others who have faced similar frauds, you might find a way to form a larger group. That way, you can make the fraud more public and get more support from the legal community.– **Pressure from Multiple Angles**:
All the political, legal, and financial pressure might help weaken the other side. Keep the heat on. People don’t like dealing with cases that have multiple players (media, courts, NGOs, public attention).At the end of the day, this is about fighting back against a corrupt system. They want to wear you down, but you need to keep pushing. **Be loud, be persistent, and get the right allies**. If you have enough support, the political connections won’t matter as much.
And lastly, take care of your mom and masi. This kind of mental and emotional abuse can take a serious toll. Keep them safe and look after their health first. The rest, weâll fight out.
Stay tough.

April 12, 2025 at 3:26 pmWhat we have here is a messy situation, and your cousin got caught in the crossfire. First off, your cousin didnât really know what he was walking into, but he ended up involved in something big, something serious. The financier and the doctor are playing their own dirty game, and your cousin is left holding the bag. So, what can be done? Letâs be real here â the system isnât perfect, and itâs not always in your favor, but there are still a few things that can be done.1. **Lawyer up â BIG time**: Your cousin needs a damn good lawyer, the kind who isnât afraid to throw punches. A lawyer with connections, someone who knows how to work the system and can get your cousin out on bail. The more money the lawyer can work with, the better, but he needs to be sharp and ready to expose the gaps in the case.
2. **False claims â Doctorâs cancer story**: The doctor is playing the system with this fake cancer claim. But the truth is, the courts wonât take that lightly. Get a lawyer who knows how to challenge these so-called medical reports. They can investigate, bring in independent medical experts, and expose the fraud for what it is. If the cancer diagnosis is fake, it needs to be proven. If the doctor is using connections to manipulate things, that can also be brought to light with the right kind of investigation.
3. **FIR and the ransom situation**: The financierâs claim about the ransom and the conference call with the gangster is a tricky situation, and your cousin might end up being the scapegoat here. But again, a solid lawyer can fight to reduce the charges or get him out on bail by proving that he wasnât aware of the full extent of what was going on. This isnât a clear-cut case, and itâs possible to challenge parts of the story if the facts donât add up.
4. **Pressure on the financier**: If the financier is involved in this whole thing, he needs to be held accountable. Your cousin is sitting in jail, but the financier and the doctor arenât facing the same consequences. If youâve got proof that the financier is behind the blackmail and the ransom, use it. Go after him in court, pressure him with evidence, and make the case against him strong. If the system wonât do its job, the lawyer can take things further.
5. **The uncle in Canada**: The uncle is playing his cards from afar, but that doesnât mean heâs untouchable. Depending on the international treaties and the nature of the case, itâs possible to go after him legally, even from Canada. The lawyer needs to know how to apply pressure, maybe even work with Canadian authorities to bring him back into the picture. If heâs involved in the criminal activity, he canât just sit back and stay out of reach.
6. **The money angle**: The financier is likely to settle the case for some money in the end â 5-10 lakhs, as you said. But thatâs not a guarantee. The lawyer can negotiate, but they should only settle if it’s absolutely necessary. The focus should be on getting your cousin out of jail and clearing his name first. Settling too early could just leave him stuck with a record and no real justice.
7. **Trust the right people**: Your cousinâs faith in the system is shaken, and I get it. But if you want to win this, youâve got to trust the right people â the right lawyer, the right contacts. If you canât trust the system, find someone who knows how to use it to your advantage.
Bottom line: Get a lawyer who can fight for your cousin. If the doctor is lying about his cancer, get the truth out. Pressure the financier to face the music, and find ways to hold the uncle accountable. If money is the only way to end it, donât settle until everything is in your cousinâs favor.

April 12, 2025 at 3:21 pmYouâre doing it the right way by asking questions and making sure everything checks out. Now, letâs get straight to it-1. **How to verify if there’s an existing loan or mortgage on the property?**
Youâre buying this place in cash, but the last thing you want is to end up with someone elseâs unpaid debts, right? So, hereâs the lowdown:
– **Title Deed Verification**: The first thing you need to do is get your hands on the **Title Deed** of the property. This document will tell you who owns the property and if there are any encumbrances (like loans, mortgages, etc.) on it. Itâll be registered with the local sub-registrar’s office.
– **Encumbrance Certificate (EC)**: This is your golden ticket. Get the **Encumbrance Certificate** for the past 13 years from the sub-registrarâs office. This will show if thereâs been any loan, mortgage, or legal action attached to the property. If thereâs an existing loan, itâll be listed here, and youâll know if the property has been mortgaged to a bank or any financial institution.
– **Bankâs No-Objection Certificate (NOC)**: If the seller took a loan and paid it off, you need a **No-Objection Certificate** (NOC) from the bank or financial institution that gave the loan. This proves that the bank has released the property from any mortgage or lien.
– **Court Records/Legal Cases**: If thereâs any pending legal issue or dispute, you might also need to check with local court records. You can visit the local civil court and check if there are any cases related to the property. If you donât know how to do this, your lawyer should be able to guide you.
– **Sellerâs Documents**: Ensure the seller provides a **sale agreement** (or the previous sale agreements) which will clearly state whether the property was ever mortgaged and whether the dues have been cleared.
In short: You need to check the **Title Deed**, get the **Encumbrance Certificate**, and ensure thereâs an **NOC from the bank** (if applicable). If all that checks out, youâre golden. If anything doesnât add up, then youâve got a big problem and should back off.
Donât let anyone fool you with pretty papers and fancy words. This is your money, so make sure youâve got all the facts before you sign anything.
Good luck with the property!
April 12, 2025 at 3:18 pm in reply to: HR forcing me to serve the notice period even when I’m ready to buy out #16431BBravekiran4796
PARTICIPANT
April 12, 2025 at 3:18 pmYouâve resigned, and the HR is playing hardball on you about that damn notice period, even though youâve got your reporting manager’s approval. Youâre ready to pay them off for the remaining time, but they wonât budge. So hereâs the blunt truth:1. **Company Policy and Legal Standpoint**: The companyâs policy says you need to serve a full 30 days if youâre leaving during probation, but it also says you can exit early with your managerâs approval **if you buy out the remaining time**. Youâve got the managerâs approval in writing, which is key here. The HR department **cannot** just ignore the policy or deny it. **Legally**, youâre in the clear because the policy *does allow* for a buyout, and youâre offering it. Their job is to follow the policy, not make up their own rules.
2. **Can HR Force You to Stay?** No, they cannot force you to stay if youâre willing to pay for the buyout and you have the managerâs approval. **Thatâs not how things work**. If you leave without serving the full notice period and without paying the buyout, they could technically hold you liable for the shortfall, but they canât just **keep you trapped** against your will when youâve followed the procedures laid out in the policy.
3. **What Happens If You Leave Early?**
– If you leave 10 days early without paying the buyout, youâre technically **breaching the contract**, and they could make a claim against you for the unpaid portion of the notice period.
– You *could* lose your **relieving letter** (they might hold it hostage) and they could refuse to issue any **experience certificate**.
– **Can they sue you?** Technically yes, but itâs not likely. Unless youâre in a highly formalized, complex setup, suing over a breach of probationary contract is **rarely worth it** for them, especially for a fresher whoâs been there only 6 months. They would have to prove the financial loss, and letâs be honest, theyâre not going to go through that trouble over someone whoâs leaving after a short stint.4. **What Should You Do?**
– **Fight for your rights**. If theyâre not following their own policy, you have every right to escalate. Go over HRâs head if needed. Youâve got your managerâs approval, so the ball is in HRâs court to explain why theyâre blocking it.
– **Leave early anyway** if you’re prepared to take the consequences. But understand, if you leave before paying the buyout, they may not let you walk away with the relieving letter or anything else.
– If you **donât care about a relieving letter or certificate**, then just leave, but keep in mind the risks. Youâll likely **burn bridges** if you leave without following the proper process, and word gets around in the industry. Your choice, but it could make it harder for you later.Bottom line: **They can’t legally hold you hostage** if youâve followed the company policy, and **the policy itself** supports your decision to buy out the notice period. Donât let HR bully you. Either force them to follow the rules or leave early and accept the consequences. But donât sit around playing their game while they change the rules to suit themselves.

April 12, 2025 at 3:15 pmYou are getting stuck in the classic **Meesho** and **Paytm** mess. Let me tell you, this isnât new. Theyâve got this slick system where they take your money, and youâre left chasing your tail with no one giving a damn. But donât worry, Iâll break it down and get you on the right path.First of all, **whatâs happening is a scam in slow motion**. You paid, the order failed, but the money disappeared into the void. This is a common issue with these online platforms. They take your money, and the tech doesnât always work right, so your refund gets lost in the system. And Meeshoâs customer care giving you a 3-day deadline? Yeah, thatâs their favorite line. Theyâll say anything to get you off the phone.
Now, the fact that **Paytmâs helpline is acting like your number doesnât exist** is another headache. Look, the botâs a machine, and machines are dumb. There could be multiple reasons why your numberâs not showing â maybe some bug in their system, maybe itâs not linked properly, or maybe they just donât care.
Hereâs what you need to do:
1. **Donât rely on Meeshoâs promises**. Go straight to the **Paytm UPI support team**. This is the real deal. Use the Paytm app to raise a **dispute** under the “Transaction Failed” section. Youâll find this option under your transaction history. Itâs their way of tracking refunds when the payment fails but the moneyâs already deducted. If youâve already contacted Meesho, tell them to **raise the issue with Paytm** and get the refund from their side. Youâre right to be frustrated, but both companies need to be pushed around to get your money back.
2. **Email Meesho directly**. Forget their chatbots and generic responses. Use their official customer service email. State clearly that the transaction failed, but the money was deducted, and youâre expecting a **refund immediately**. If you donât get a response, get **louder**. Keep following up and mention that youâll take this up with consumer protection if itâs not sorted.
3. **Contact Paytm customer support via social media**. If theyâre ignoring you on their helpline, hit them up on **Twitter/Facebook**. Social media complaints usually get faster attention, and Paytm will be a lot more careful when their image is on the line. They donât want people airing their dirty laundry publicly.
4. **File a consumer complaint**. If the refund doesnât come through in another couple of days, then itâs time to hit the **Consumer Court**. Youâve already waited long enough. You have all the documentation (payment receipt, communication with Meesho), and the law is on your side. A complaint to the **RBI** might also work, as they oversee digital payment systems.
5. **Patience runs out, take action**. I get it, itâs âč191, and you might think âitâs just a small amount,â but **itâs the principle** here. If they get away with this, theyâll keep doing it to others. Make them work for it.
Bottom line: Get your money back by making them work for it. Meeshoâs playing the waiting game, Paytmâs giving you no response, but youâve got to keep pushing until you get your refund. Keep records of everything. Donât let them get away with it.
And if they donât play fair, then **raise a storm**. Youâll get your âč191, or at least make sure they regret messing with you.

April 12, 2025 at 3:12 pmLetâs start with the basics: **alimony**. The whole idea of alimony in India is about **financial support** after a divorce. Itâs not about who earns more or less, but about **whoâs better off and who needs the support**. The court looks at **several factors** â not just income, but also lifestyle, earning capacity, and how the separation impacts your financial situation.
1. **If your wife earns more than you**: No, just because she makes more doesnât mean youâre automatically out of luck and wonât get alimony if you need it. But letâs be real â if sheâs doing well financially, the courtâs probably not going to favor you getting alimony unless you can prove that you canât support yourself. If youâre just sitting around doing nothing, **thatâs on you**. Youâre not going to get a free ride just because youâre too lazy to work.
2. **If you earn more, but she has more assets**: Money isnât just about monthly income â **assets matter too**. If youâre raking in more monthly but she has a bigger net worth (say, through inheritance, investments, etc.), it could affect the outcome. But generally, the court focuses on whoâs better off *now* and who needs the support. Theyâll look at your income, her income, and how much **you** can reasonably earn in the future. If youâre the one capable of working and earning more, donât expect to sit back and demand alimony just because sheâs got a big bank balance.
3. **Claiming you’re mentally retarded to get out of work**: Oh, **come on**. Donât insult yourself with that crap. The courtâs not going to buy some excuse like that unless you genuinely have medical proof that youâre incapable of working. Saying you’re “mentally retarded” when you just donât feel like working will get you absolutely **nowhere**. Theyâll see through that, and youâll just come off looking lazy. Youâre **not going to get away** with this if youâve got the ability to work but just donât want to. Courts arenât fools, and they wonât entertain these kinds of nonsense claims.
4. **Unemployed, zero net worth**: If you donât have any money, then the court canât exactly force you to pay alimony â **but** thatâs if youâre truly broke. If youâre living with your parents and doing nothing, the court will still consider your future earning capacity. If youâre capable of working and earning, theyâll make sure you get a job, whether you like it or not. So, donât think you can just sit around and call yourself âunemployed.â **Theyâll make sure you get off your ass and contribute** if they have to.
5. **The cousin and the weed-addict example**: Yeah, I get it. Youâve got an example of a guy whoâs a weed addict and still getting by because he helps his dad in a business. Well, thatâs his life. But donât expect the same treatment if youâre sitting around doing nothing. The system doesnât give free passes for laziness. Your situation isnât going to work like his, and even if heâs a mess, it doesnât change the fact that youâre capable of doing more than just relying on your parents.
So, **bottom line**: You canât just sit back and expect to get alimony because youâre âstrugglingâ or because your wife makes more. The courtâs going to look at **whoâs actually in need**. If you can work, theyâll expect you to, and if youâre just being lazy or trying to claim youâre mentally retarded to avoid work, donât expect the court to be sympathetic. **Get a job**, **earn your living**, and if alimony comes into play, itâll be based on real needs, not lazy excuses.
Grow up, take responsibility, and stop thinking the world owes you something just because you’re too lazy to work.

April 12, 2025 at 3:06 pmYou were involved in a minor road incident, and this 60-year-old man goes from zero to full-on idiot mode, abusing you and then physically trying to grab your phone. You did the right thing by recording his actions â at least youâve got that on your side.First thingâs first â **you were assaulted**. The fact that he tried to push you and snatch your phone is enough to call it physical abuse. The guy was the aggressor, and even though he was weaker, it doesnât change the fact that he tried to harm you. And donât let the fact that he fell down fool you â heâs still the one who instigated the whole thing.
**Can you take action?** Yes. Hereâs what you need to do:
1. **Report it to the police**: Even without the physical abuse being on video, youâve got enough evidence with his verbal abuse and his clear attempt to assault you. The police will take this seriously. Youâve got video proof of him abusing you, and if thereâs CCTV footage around the area, you might be in luck to catch the physical assault on tape too. Get a **First Information Report (FIR)** filed. Make sure you mention the verbal abuse, the physical attempt to snatch your phone, and how he fell while trying to push you.
2. **Physical assault charges**: The guy might not be strong enough to take you down, but it doesn’t matter. His attempt to physically harm you is still an offense. Under **Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 352**, assault or use of force without provocation can lead to charges. The fact that he tried to snatch your phone, which is considered evidence, makes it even worse for him. If CCTV footage or eyewitnesses support your case, thatâs even better.
3. **Recording evidence**: In the video, youâve got him verbally abusing you, which is a part of harassment. Even though the physical part wasnât captured on your phone, the police can use the video and any CCTV footage to strengthen your case. The fact that heâs clearly visible on the video only helps.
4. **Possible jail time**: Yes, depending on the severity of the assault and the police investigation, this guy could face legal consequences, including jail time. Heâs looking at charges for **physical assault**, **attempted intimidation**, and **disrupting evidence** (trying to snatch your phone). Donât expect him to just get away with it because heâs older â the law applies to everyone.
April 12, 2025 at 3:03 pm in reply to: Received a Demand notice from income tax dept for my deceased father #16356BBravekiran4796
PARTICIPANT
April 12, 2025 at 3:03 pmThe system doesnât care that your father passed away, does it? Just another day in the world where the bureaucratic machine keeps grinding, no matter whoâs under the wheel.First off, **you** arenât personally liable for your fatherâs taxes unless youâve taken on his debts explicitly, and from the sound of it, you havenât done that. Your fatherâs estate is liable, and the responsibility falls to the **legal heirs** â you, your mother, or your sister. But hold up â the fact that his PAN is now inactive adds a twist.
Hereâs what you need to do:
1. **Reach out to the IT Department**: Donât ignore this notice. I know itâs stressful, but ignoring it wonât make it go away. Contact the Income Tax Department and inform them about your fatherâs death. Youâll need to provide a **death certificate** and proof of your status as a legal heir. The department should, in theory, **update their records** to reflect that your father is no longer alive. Youâll probably need to speak with a specific officer, so donât take the runaround. Be persistent, and get everything documented.
2. **Executor’s Role**: The executors of the will should be responsible for handling the financial matters of the estate, including settling any pending taxes. If the executors are dragging their feet, get more aggressive about following up. You have every right to ask for an update and demand faster action.
3. **Transfer of Assets**: Now, you mentioned that the assets have been transferred to you, your sister, or your mother. However, the **property still in your fatherâs name** complicates things. The property needs to be transferred legally into the name of the new owner (which could be your mother, you, or your sister). Until the property is legally transferred, itâs still tied to your father, and this can cause issues with outstanding taxes.
4. **PAN Inactivation**: The fact that your fatherâs PAN is showing as inactive is a problem. Youâll need to get his PAN re-activated in order to file any returns or pay off outstanding taxes. This can be done by contacting the **Income Tax Department** or filing a request to update the PAN status. You might need the help of a tax professional or a legal advisor to guide you through this.
5. **Legal Advice**: Since this is a complicated matter, **get a lawyer** who specializes in estate and tax law. Theyâll know how to navigate this mess, especially with your fatherâs will still being executed. A lawyer can also help push the executors to take action faster, which will save you from more headaches down the road.
6. **Paying the Taxes**: If the taxes are indeed valid, they need to be paid by the estate. However, since the estateâs assets have already been transferred to you and the others, there could be an argument about whether the tax bill should be passed on to the heirs directly or paid out of the estate. This is where legal guidance becomes important.
The bottom line is **donât panic**. The system might be slow and unhelpful, but there are processes in place. You need to step up, be persistent, and get the estateâs matters in order. Get the PAN re-activated, deal with the tax department, and make sure that your fatherâs assets are fully transferred. If the executors arenât pulling their weight, take charge and get it done yourself.
You donât owe the government any more than your fatherâs estate owes, and you shouldnât let them make you feel otherwise. Handle this with some grit, and itâll get sorted. Just donât sit on your hands waiting for someone else to fix it.

April 12, 2025 at 3:01 pmWhat youâre dealing with isnât just tough, itâs abusive. Emotional abuse, neglect, and a whole lot of toxic behavior from people who shouldâve been there to protect you. Youâve been given the short end of the stick your whole life, and now youâre fed up, and rightfully so.Your parents have been ignoring you, belittling you, and making you feel like crap for as long as you can remember. This is not ânormalâ family behavior, and itâs not something you should tolerate just because theyâre your parents. You have every right to seek some form of protection from them, especially if itâs causing you emotional harm, and let me tell you straight up â **getting a protection order might be your best shot**.
Hereâs what you need to know:
1. **Protection Orders**: In India, a protection order is generally given under the *Domestic Violence Act*, but thatâs not just for physical abuse. It can also be for emotional and mental abuse, which is exactly what youâve been going through. Emotional abuse counts. If youâve been bullied, humiliated, or mistreated, youâre entitled to seek protection. The law provides relief to people who are being subjected to abuse, and that includes being emotionally manipulated and harassed by your parents.
2. **What You Need to Do**: Youâll have to approach the **court** to file a complaint under the Domestic Violence Act. You donât need to deal with this alone. Get a lawyer who specializes in family law or domestic violence cases. They can guide you on how to file the application and what kind of evidence you need (like statements, proof of the harassment, and any medical records if available).
3. **Your Safety is Priority**: Donât hesitate to reach out to authorities if you feel unsafe or like youâre in danger of being hurt. A protection order can keep them away from you, and if they break the rules, they can face legal consequences. The court can also order them to pay compensation if theyâre found guilty of harassment.
4. **Mental Health Support**: Itâs clear that youâre going through a lot â emotional abuse, neglect, and the pressure from your parents. Youâre also dealing with the fallout of a depressive episode. You need someone to help you sort through this, so get professional mental health support. A therapist or counselor can help you cope with the emotional scars and guide you through your feelings. This isnât just about the protection order; this is about *you* and your mental well-being.
5. **Get a Support System**: Youâve already mentioned your nani, and thatâs good. Keep reaching out to those who care about you and can help you through this. Theyâre your safe space. Talk to people who have your back, and donât let these toxic people drive you further into isolation.
Bottom line? Youâve been emotionally tortured by your own parents, and itâs time to draw a line. Youâre not wrong for wanting space, respect, and peace. Fight for yourself. Go after the legal route for protection, and get the mental health support you need.
As for them? Theyâre bullies, plain and simple. You donât have to keep tolerating it. Time to take control and live your life on your terms. **You deserve better**, and donât let anyone convince you otherwise.

April 12, 2025 at 10:17 amthis is a classic case of a big company flexing its muscles, treating a small business like trash, and throwing up walls when it comes to accountability. Here’s the deal, straight up: Bajaj Finserv is messing with you, and they know they can get away with it because youâre not prepared to fight back. But trust me, you *can* fight back, and here’s how.**1. Document everything.**
Youâve already got some documentation of your communication with them, but you need to get **everything** in writing now. Whatever conversations you have with their customer service, get it on email or a recorded call if possible. Right now, itâs all he said, she said. You need paper trails to make them sweat.**2. Look at the contract and policies.**
Go through the agreement you signed when you set up the merchant account. Bajaj Finserv *must* have terms and conditions. If they donât want to show you their policies now, thatâs a huge red flag. Any agreement they have should lay out exactly what grounds they have for blocking accounts or withholding funds. If their actions are not in line with whatâs mentioned in the contract, you have a case. If you canât get the policies or the terms from them, **this is a violation**.**3. RBI**
Youâre right to think about going to the **RBI**. The Reserve Bank of India oversees UPI transactions and digital payment systems, and theyâve set guidelines for merchant account providers. Bajaj Finserv is likely violating those rules. File a formal complaint with the RBI against the company. Be specific in your complaint, give them all the details, and request they investigate the matter. The RBI can hold these payment providers accountable if they are not adhering to regulations.**4. Consumer Court**
Consumer court is your next stop. Youâve been denied a service you paid for. Bajaj Finserv has not only withheld your money but also given you the runaround and refused to provide documentation or support. **This is a clear consumer rights violation**. File a complaint with the **Consumer Court** of your state. They will look into the matter and force the company to respond to your claims. You might not get your Rs. 16,000 back immediately, but itâs a step toward justice and holding them accountable.**5. Take Legal Action**
Youâve got to hit them where it hurts â the legal way. Consult with a consumer lawyer who specializes in banking or digital payments. Get them to send a legal notice to Bajaj Finserv, demanding the release of your funds and a written explanation. Once you send a legal notice, they have to respond, and thatâll force them to act. If they donât, you can take them to court. Theyâll have to deal with it, or theyâll lose out in the long run.**6. Media Exposure**
If Bajaj Finserv keeps dodging you, it might be worth getting some media exposure. A little bad press can sometimes be the best way to get these companies to cough up whatâs owed. They donât want the negative attention, especially when itâs about scamming small businesses.Bottom line: Youâve been scammed, and theyâre hiding behind their corporate policies to avoid paying you. But theyâve broken a lot of rules, and youâve got ways to hit them back. **Donât let them get away with it.** Go after the money, get legal advice, and make them sweat. The more you fight, the more likely theyâll give in or be forced to give you whatâs owed.
Donât let these jokers walk all over you.

April 10, 2025 at 7:09 amA-Z claims take long months to get resolved, though this is good option too.
But what I would suggest is do a police FIR.
Save all records, then do a consumer court complaint for hefty compensation plus original amount refund.All courts need is proper proofs and previous similar judgements. Then do a out of court settlement with delhivery or amazon if possible.
You need to do it so that future customers also dont face such issues.
