Man Wins Rs 13,000 After Snapdeal Fails to Deliver Rare One-Rupee Notes
A man in Andhra Pradesh loves collecting old and rare currency notes.
He ordered five special one-rupee notes signed by a former Reserve Bank of India Governor from Snapdeal.
He paid Rs 754 for them.
When the package arrived, the notes were missing.
He complained, and a court said Snapdeal did not do a good job.
The court told Snapdeal to give him back his Rs 754 and also pay him Rs 13,000 more.
This is because Snapdeal did not send what he ordered.
A man ordered five rare one-rupee Gandhi notes from Snapdeal for Rs 754.
The notes were signed by former Reserve Bank of India Governor I G Patel.
The package was delivered but the notes were missing.
The district consumer commission in Andhra Pradesh ordered Snapdeal to refund Rs 754 and pay Rs 13,000 in compensation.
The court found Snapdeal liable for deficiency in service.
