Unfortunately, under Indian law, recovering the money you lost to this fraudulent job offer will be difficult. You may try filing a police complaint, but it’s unlikely they will be able to recover your money. It’s best to be cautious of such offers in the future, especially when they require upfront payments.

We recently purchased a top-floor apartment in a well-regarded society in Delhi. We were assured that the mobile tower would be removed after a residents’ meeting decision. However, despite a 9-year contract with no termination clause, the RWA has now installed 3G, digital TV, and Wi-Fi on the existing tower. Our building is over 20 years old, with existing cracks and seepage. Now, my newly renovated flat has also developed cracks. What legal action can I take to get this tower removed?

I purchased a flat in Kolkata from a builder based on a signed agreement. I paid 10% of the price upfront and secured a bank loan for the remaining 90%. The builder delayed providing the documents needed for my home loan, giving them to me in parts. This caused delays in the bank and legal processes, further delaying my payments to the builder. I received emails from the builder urging me to make timely payments to avoid penalties. I responded, explaining the delay was due to their actions and requested they waive the penalty. They agreed then. However, they’re now demanding a penalty after three months. What can I do?

My mobile provider keeps adding services I never asked for! They claim I activated them, but when I complain, they say they’ll deactivate them but won’t refund the charges. This happened in January, and again in February. They offer no real explanation, and even when I try to switch to prepaid or port my number, I’m still stuck with these unfair charges. Nobody seems to care. What can I do?

I paid for a product on an online website, but now they’re not giving me the product or refunding my money.

I bought a 1BHK flat in Nashik in December 2011, paying the full price upfront. However, the builder hasn’t registered the society or provided sale deeds for all residents. Despite repeated requests over the past five years, I’ve been ignored. In August 2016, I filed a case against the builder in the Nashik consumer court.

Previous Article My mother was born in 1985. Our grandfather passed away in 1995, leaving behind property that he inherited from his father. He had gifted half the property to his daughters, my aunts. There are four sisters and five brothers in the family, with my mother being the eldest. Recently, my uncles divided the remaining land, but they haven’t given any share to my aunts, including my mother. This land is worth crores and is now only 1.5 acres. My grandfather didn’t leave a will, and my mother is battling cancer. My aunts are struggling financially, and we are worried about their future. They are asking for their rightful share, but my uncles are refusing, saying they might give 1-2 plots after 10 years. What legal options do we have to ensure my mother and aunts get their fair share of the property?
Next Article My friend, who lives in the US, is being asked to share his company’s payment processing system with an Indian tech support company. This company needs to charge their American clients through credit cards, but since they don’t have a US Social Security number, they can’t set up their own payment gateway. They’re asking my friend to let them use his, promising he won’t have to interact with their clients. Is this legal? Could my friend be held responsible if the Indian company misuses his system or if their American clients have issues? If so, is there a way to protect him through a contract that clearly states he’s only handling payments?
