Chinese e-commerce platform Club Factory, which was one of the apps banned by the Indian government in June, has been in trouble with its sellers in India over the suspension of payments. And now, a few sellers have sent the company a legal notice demanding that their payments be released. In the legal notice, a copy of which Business Insider has viewed, four sellers have claimed payments worth over ₹2 crore. The legal team which sent the notice told Business Insider that Club Factory has been given 15 days to respond, clear the dues or fight the case.
Club Factory has not yet responded to Business Insider’s emails.
Recently, the All India Online Vendors Association (AIOVA) has also formally complained to the Reserve Bank of India saying that the Chinese e-commerce platform has violated Section 28 of the Payments and Settlements Act, 2007.
“The last tranche of payments are pending from Club Factory’s side. They told us they are keeping the payments on hold until the ban is lifted,” a seller told Business Insider, whose pending payments with the company run into lakhs.
