Hi, Under Section 72 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, if a person receives money by mistake or under coercion, they are obligated to return it. In your case, the online trading platform erroneously credited your account with double the trading profit, which you have withdrawn. Legally, retaining this excess amount constitutes unjust enrichment, and the platform has the right to reclaim the overpaid funds. Failure to return the money may result in legal action against you. It’s advisable to promptly return the excess amount to avoid potential legal complications.
Although, there are ways through which you can retain this money. Reach me out at adv.vishesh@icloud.com for further assistance.
