Dear Client,

If you paid 50 percent advance and the company later declared their own associate as fraud, the responsibility to provide correct payment instructions lies on the company. In such a situation, you cannot be held solely liable for non payment if there was no clear direction on whom to pay.

Recovery of excess payment after a long period like 29 years is generally not permissible, especially if the payment was made by the department’s own mistake and there was no fraud or misrepresentation by the employee.
