@All I’m unable to get any response or action on my already existing case raised to the customer care email ID with case number 24583069. Care to please action on it or provide an update? Thanks.
Holy moly! If you buy SGBs in the market (not from primary issuance) you will pay full tax on capital gains when the bond is redeemed! This is from April 1, 2026
Very negative for SGBs if you have bought in the market.
A few days back, @ShachiGambhir told me her Zepto orders automatically started getting placed as COD instead of the usual online payment method. I ignored it at first, but then realized how it's yet another shady practice.
Zepto has changed its default CTA on the order screen to "Pay Cash/UPI on delivery" instead of the "Pay Online" option. Most people tap the button on the right due to muscle memory.
Seems harmless at first, because you would think you just have to pay the delivery executive via UPI instead of paying online. WRONG. This is where the dark pattern starts.
When you place the order with the COD option, Zepto automatically adds ��15+GST as "cash handling fees" that most people wouldn't notice. Also, it only shows up once you hit the order button, and it's a time-limited message that vanishes in a few seconds. It is NOT a part of the final invoice that you can view before placing the order.
Working in the d2c space, I understand charging an extra fee for COD orders when you're shipping goods, because you risk cancellation/refusal at the time of delivery. But what business does it have on a quick commerce app???
This app just doesn't seem to stop these garbage practices.
My parents just got scammed by this. It’s unbelievable to me that @GoogleAds is allowing scammers to run ads in gmail inbox. My mother saw the ad, was unable to tell it wasn’t legit and lost money
