[Resolved]  Flipkart — wallet money unfairly blocked / flipkart account banned stating false reasons.

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka, 785001
Website:www.flipkart.com

I am monuj saikia. I have an account with flipkart with the email:
[protected]@gmail.com.

Up until 29th october, i have had no problems with flipkart. But then i was
Suddenly unable to log in to my account. I kept getting the error message
"login unsuccessful, please retry".

I followed up my issue with the customer service of flipkart [incident:
In[protected]] but they have failed to successfully address my
Issue. I registered another complaint [incident: in[protected]] but failed to get a satisfactory response from flipkart.

A representative have mailed me a final reply stating false allegations
That i have used unauthorised payment methods, and that my account have
Been banned. (The message is attached for your reference).

Now i can provide complete proofs that all the payment methods used in
Flipkart by me were authorized and legit. I haven't made any unauthorized
Payments.

This is a serious allegation that flipkart has accused me of.

Also, i have a gift card balance of rs. 1000 which i am no longer being
Able to access. According to rbi guidelines, e-commerce companies cannot
Make their wallet balances inaccessible to their customers. I acquire these
Gift cards as incentive for my market research activities. They are
Completely legit. (Proof attached below)

I have attached necessary proofs to verify the legitimacy of my claim. I
Request you to please take the necessary actions and resolve my grievance
As soon as possible.

Attached below are the proofs of how i get my gift cards, the debit card authorization details which i used in flipkart, and the message from the customer service representative who accused me falsely o[censored]sing irregular payment methods.

Yours sincerely
Monuj saikia

Received a reply from the NBFC Office, Chennai, stating that my issue has been forwarded to the Deputy General Manager, Reserve Bank of India, CEPC Cell, Chennai. I am grateful to NBFCO for co-operating with me on this issue.

Request Flipkart Pvt. Ltd. to resolve this issue within 24 hours as communicated through phone, failing which I will have no option but to escalate it further.

Thank you

Received an absurd reply from Mohammed Kafeel Ahmed, Flipkart Support Representative stating that, as it was not me who ordered the gift card, so I have to contact the original buyer for resolution.

But once a gift card is added to an account, the previous owner loses all roights and access to the gift cards, no matter who ordered it first.

The current ownership of the two gift cards amounting to Rs. 1000 is held by me. The original purchaser of these two gift cards cannot help me in this matter.

I am very displeased with Flipkart for attempting to evade from the real problem and unethically deprive me of my money. Please resolve this as soon as possible or I will have no option but to pursue this case with the help of legal entities.

Thank you
Monuj Saikia

Still not received any proper resolution from company's side. Flipkart last said that they will give back my money within 5 days. But it's been over a month now.

I will be forced to take my issue to public notice if my money is not returned as soon as possible.
