I paid 24k today by mistake by gpay to a rickshaw guy who I had previously paid before on the 9th of march

I got his number somehow and called him … he picked up and said he would return the money to me right away but it’s been over 4 hours and his phone is now switched off

Rick guys name - sundeshwar kumar Sahu

I had boarded his rickshaw from gundavli metro station to Vakola on 9th march

I called my bank and informed them … they said they will try and get it reversed but I have my doubts

It’s a big amount for me and truly I’m so sad atp … please give me some hope that I can get my money back !!!

Over the past month, I’ve had a really frustrating (and honestly concerning) experience with Amazon deliveries in Mumbai, and I want to check if this is happening to others as well.

I placed multiple orders (mix of prepaid and cash on delivery), mostly with 1-day / 2-day delivery timelines. Here’s what happened:

•	Order 1 (Prepaid): Marked as Delivered. No call, no package.

•	Contacted customer support → standard response: “we’ll escalate and try to rescue.”

•	Got a callback 24–48 hours later saying it’s being looked into → no actual resolution → had to cancel and get a refund.

•	Order 2 (Prepaid, reordered): Exact same issue. Marked delivered, nothing received.

•	Support asked me to check with neighbors/security (already did, nothing there).

•	Again → no resolution → refund.

•	Order 3 (Prepaid, different item): SAME issue repeated.

•	Order 4 (COD, thinking this would force delivery):

Status went from Out for delivery → Returning to seller (customer rejected order)

I never received a call or saw the delivery agent.

At this point, this has happened 5 times in a row.

Some additional points:

•	No delivery calls received in any case

•	Orders marked as “delivered to resident” when no one was home

•	Customer support is now chat-only and gives templated, copy-paste responses

•	No accountability, no follow-up, no real resolution

What’s worse is that these were time-sensitive orders, making the whole experience even more frustrating.

I did some digging and found similar complaints on Reddit, which makes me think this might be a larger issue (maybe specific to Mumbai?) rather than a one-off.

Questions:

1.	Has anyone else faced this recently (especially in Mumbai)?

2.	Is this happening in other cities too?

3.	Is there any way to escalate this beyond Amazon support (consumer court, etc.)?

4.	Any tips to actually get deliveries to show up?

At this point, it feels like either:

•	Delivery agents are falsely marking orders as delivered

•	Or there’s some systemic/logistics issue Amazon isn’t addressing

If more people are facing this, maybe it’s worth flagging to media or consumer forums.

Would really appreciate hearing others’ experiences.

I just moved back after being an NRI in the Middle East for a long time. Over there, life happens entirely inside air-conditioned bubbles.

Walking out of the airport and immediately getting hit by that heavy, salty, humid Mumbai air... it’s weird, but I actually missed it. Eating a scorching hot Vada Pav outside the station instead of a ₹3,000 brunch. The chaotic noise of the traffic that somehow has its own rhythm. The way cutting chai tastes in the rain.

You don't realize how much you miss the soul of this city until you live somewhere that doesn't have one.

For the folks here who have lived abroad and come back: what was the absolute first thing you did or ate that made you realize, "Yes, I am finally home"?

My parents own a 2bhk flat in Mumbai. But they are planning to move back to our hometown in a tier 3 city and want to rent out the flat. It’s a fully furnished flat in a good society. They don’t want to sell the flat and the rent is going to be their retirement income.

My parents have never had any tenants before and they are quite old now. I stay in a different city so it’s difficult for me to help them out frequently.

I want to understand how can my parents prevent any tenant from taking over the flat by refusing to vacant it. We are simple middle class people without any political connections and generally stay away from goons, so won’t be comfortable hiring people to get the flat vacant.

The society doesn’t allow to rent to bachelors so only families are allowed.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Tldr : Parents want to move to tier 3 city post retirement and want to rent out 2bhk in Mumbai. Looking for best way/ legal way to prevent future tenants from taking over the flat.

Basically when i joined my previous organisation, my boss called me and said there is a training program in another state which is really good and he wants to send me there. I said sure, why would i deny my boss in my first corporate job. One month later just a few days before going to the program, someone from legal team came and asked me to sign a bond of 60k for the training program. It was stated in the bond that if i left before 1 year from the date of this bond it will be deducted from my FNF.

Now 11 months later i left the organisation for a much better job. I was expecting them to send me my one month’s notice period salary minus the bond but they sent me the full salary without any deduction!

Now the question is:

1. Can they ask for this money back later? Can I refuse to return?
2. If i were to refuse, can they mess with my BGV in future companies?
