48 customers allegedly cheated Paytm, CBI files FIR

The company has seen a massive rise in their business since the time PM Modi made the announcement of demonetising Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes.

Indian e-commerce company, Paytm on Friday alleged that some of the customers have cheated them for over Rs. 6.15 Lakh. The Central Bureau of Investigation who generally do not take up such case has registered a case against the customers.

Paytm said that over 48 customers have cheated them. The company has also named a number of officials from the One97 Communications, which is the parent company of Paytm.

The company in their complaint said that they have a policy of paying the customers for the damaged products and later arranges a pick up for the damaged product. The company also has a customer care centre who supervise the entire process and make sure the customers get a refund for damaged products. They also assist in arranging pick ups.  It is alleged that the company found that in 48 cases customers had received refunds even though the delivery of orders was made successfully to them.

The company recently observed that over 48 customers have apparently taken refunds despite the delivery being made successfully. The company policy also says that the customers are not eligible for a refund if the product has been successfully delivered.

Paytm in their complaint stated that these customers had “illegally” procured money.

The company has been enjoying and reportedly seen huge rise in their business since the time Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the announcement of demonetising Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes.
