A consumer court in Punjab has slapped a fine of Rs 10,000 on Snapdeal and ordered them to deliver what they had initially promised: iPhone for Rs 68.
The Case
Nikhil Bansal, a BTech Student at Punjabi University saw a listing of an iPhone 5S 16 GB (Gold) on Snapdeal, which was priced Rs 68. On February 12th, he ordered the phone, and started waiting anxiously for such an awesome, cheap deal.
But as it so often happens on ecommerce portals, the order was cancelled and Nikhil never received that iPhone.
But unlike other shoppers, he refused to be silent.
He approached the district consumer forum in Sangrur district of Punjab, and filed a complaint after Snapdeal refused to ‘honor the deal’. The forum passed the judgment in favor of Nikhil, and Snapdeal was ordered to deliver the iPhone at the same rate in which it was initially promised: Rs 68.
Besides, the forum also ordered Snapdeal to pay Rs 2000 as penalty.
However, Snapdeal appealed in the consumer forum against this decision, and decided to fight the case. But again, they lost, as the forum now ordered them to pay a fine of Rs 10,000 to close the case.
This penalty needs to be deposited in consumer welfare fund.
Dont forget to say, I am elder Brother of Nikhil Bansal for quick resolution

Looks like the decision to penalize Snapdeal was taking by State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Hopefully this case will be taken as precedent and more companies will be penalized for pricing error.
yup , this case will be now base for asking compensation and any consumer can now easily refer this case for claim .
but every one should not think the same , nikhil did it as he was totally clean , here many dimers made multiple accounts and even used referral scheme so they should not think of same . dont play with companies blindly .
