MobiKwik, has lost over Rs 19.61 crore due to a technical glitch apparently in its own online payment system.
Company officials said the money was allegedly deducted from the firm’s own corporate account during online transactions made by some individual customers using the wallet for different recharges and bill payments.
In his complaint, Lokesh Rajpal, general counsel of MobiKwik, alleged that certain people took advantage of the technical glitch and transferred money from the wallet to different accounts.
“Anybody can transfer the amount from his or her mobile wallet to bank account. And, taking advantage of the technical glitch, some people transferred money to different accounts,” Rajpal stated in the complaint.
