A company claimed to have won a project from the Ministry of Women and Child Development and the Election Commission. But, an RTI revealed no such project was awarded to them. Now, they’re charging Rs. 25 from every household and hefty fees from district coordinators they’ve appointed across India. What legal actions can be taken against them? Could we file a case under Section 420 of the IPC or any other non-bailable offense?

This situation likely involves multiple offenses, including cheating under Section 420 IPC, criminal breach of trust, and potentially offenses under the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978. Filing a complaint with the police and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, as well as an FIR under Section 420 IPC is recommended.
