i was cheated on line by UPI/PAYTM fraud of amount Rs 93000/- as fraudster hack my UPI PIN & subsequently did three withdrawal i.e.9000,4000+40000, 40000 with out my doing any thing.It seems shortcoming in PAYTM/UPI system.Can I claim on PAYTM/UPI??

Ans: We are sorry to hear that you were a victim of fraud. It’s important to take immediate action to address the situation.

Below are the Steps that you can take:

1. Contact your bank: To prevent any future unauthorized access, contact your bank and freeze the account, and modify the UPI pin.

2. Contact Paytm: Reach out to PAYTM as soon as possible to report the fraudulent activity and explain the situation. They will guide you through the process of filing a complaint and provide you with further assistance.

3. File a complaint: Visit your nearest cyber security cell and file a complaint about the fraudulent activity. Provide them with all the relevant details, including any evidence you may have, such as transaction records, messages, or emails.

According to RBI guidelines, anyone who falls victim to UPI fraud needs to first report the issue to the payment service provider. However, in case the UPI service provider doesn’t provide much assistance, the user can also file a complaint at the NPCI portal – npci. org. in.

Sir , I became a victim of cyber crime. Following legal procedure Court ordered cyber police to recover 331000/- from the freezed amount from scammers account in April'24 and cyber police sent mails to Indu Sind Bank to release the amount,but the bank kept mum. Then I lodged a complaint with PMO and RBI after writing several mails and Cyber Police also sent several reminders to the Bank. RBI took immediate action and sent mail to the bank. The entire process took more then 4 months. Finally bank informed me that only Rs 83000/- is available in scammer's account which was given to me. What a I feel is , if had the bank taken immediately action after receiving court order from cyber police, I could have been paid entire amount of Rs 331000/- Since I am in great loss because of bank delaying credit for 5 months , Should I involve again RBI to request to get me balance amount?? Your advice please.... Show quoted text
Ans: It's unfortunate that you've faced this situation. You acted correctly by involving the legal process. The bank's delay is indeed concerning.

Bank’s Delayed Response
The court’s order was clear, and the bank’s delay caused a significant loss. Timely action by the bank might have resulted in full recovery.

Consider Involving RBI Again
Given the circumstances, it would be prudent to involve RBI once more. You should explain the loss incurred due to the delay in their action. It is essential to request RBI’s intervention to ensure the bank fulfills its responsibilities.

Legal Advice Option
You may also consider consulting with a legal expert. They can guide you on whether further legal action against the bank is possible.

Final Insights
Your efforts were commendable, and your next steps should focus on accountability. Holding the bank responsible for its delay is important.

Career
A doctorate from IIT Bombay in Metallurgy and masters from NIT in Manufacturing with 5 years of experience including 2 years in academics and currently working from past 3 years in industry where I work mostly on finite element analyst of forging and bulk extrusion process and New product development as manager heading a team of 5 people. I have working knowledge of 3-4 FE software related to metal forming domain along with ANSYS STRUCTURAL. Despite that I am not getting any interview calls as I am currently looking for a job switch and have put up my profile both on NAUKRI AND LINKEDIN. Some calls are coming to me but that are all irrelevant profiles in which my expertise is not there. I have been trying for the past 6 months but have not got any positive response. Despite such a highly educated person from premier institute and not getting any response is highly depressing. Could you suggest how to apply and where to apply and any other website where I shall make my profile to get a positive response ? I am open to other roles such as metallurgy, product management, operations, vehicle dynamics based CAE etc but companies are just looking for relevant experience and they are rejecting my profile if relevant experience is not found. What to do ? Please advise
Ans: It's understandable that despite your strong qualifications, you're facing challenges in securing relevant interview calls.

Take help of professional to restructure your resume suitably.
Beyond Naukri and LinkedIn, explore industry-specific job portals. For your domain, platforms such as EngineerJobs.com, iMetalHub, and MetallurgicalJobs.
Make a list of companies that operate in your domain, then apply of your own.

Hi, My name is Kunal, I am 38 years old and my wife is 30 years old. I will be retired at the age of 60. I have two kids, a boy(9 years) and a girl(3 years). My basic is 57000 and I get 3% annual increment on basic. My take home salary is 48000. I have PPF(12500/M), SSY(2000/M) and LIC(5850/M) and our monthly expenses around 20000. I want to buy a home, children's educational expenses and my retirement goals are 1 Cr. Can you give a valuable strategy, how and where to invest to get my all goals?
Ans: I presume you have endowment type life insurance policy from LIC, the returns from which are not up to the mark. If you can surrender it and take a term insurance plan then you can still save around 50K annually after factoring Term Plan premium of 20K pa, considering your current annual payment to LIC of ~70K. That translates to investible surplus of 4K + current monthly disposal income after expenses: 7K, So 11K SIP can be initiated. 4K SIP for 15 years will led to corpus of 22L+(13%return assumed) for daughter's education

If surrendering the LIC policy is not an option then you can still deploy the current balance of 7K + incremental disposable part of salary each year into a SIP for 22 years considering conservative return of 13% it can still build a retirement corpus of 1Cr+ as desired.

You can fund son's higher education through PPF but for daughter's education you need to hike investments in SSY also to 1.5L pa and for house you will need to find home loan(Use EPF partial withdrawal towards down payment)

Here it pertinent to note that you may need to increase your income in some way maybe either job change or spouse working so to have additional funds to invest for your goal fulfillment. Happy to help if you have any further queries.
