Stolen money from my wallet

I had recharged my bbinstant wallet with ₹1000 and left with ₹481. Earlier there were bbinstant machine in my society and later they removed it, so I couldn't use it. When I checked my wallet recently it is showing zero balance. When I complaint to customer service they replied that it will be reflected in wallet within 24 hours and get expired in 1 month. Though it is not reflecting in my wallet and I want to know why it will get expired after 1 month?Being a Tata group, it is not expected to steal money from your customer's account. This is direct case of theft by bbinstant.

Repeated Overcharging and App Issues

The vending machine system is extremely unreliable. On multiple occasions, I selected a single item but was charged for two, with the amount deducted directly from my employer wallet.

Customer support has been disappointing. Issues are not resolved and responses lack accountability. In one instance, a product listed at a 12 percent discount was instead billed at 12 percent above the MRP, which is unacceptable.

The app clearly has multiple bugs, leading to frequent and frustrating problems in daily use. This has become a recurring inconvenience and needs urgent attention.

Frustrating Experience – Real Money Should Not Expire

I had a very disappointing experience with the BB Instant app. I had real money stored in the app’s wallet, and without using that wallet balance, the app doesn’t even allow smooth checkout through UPI or other payment methods, which already feels restrictive.

The worst part is that my wallet balance suddenly became zero. This was not cashback or promotional credit — it was my actual money. How can real money just expire or disappear?

This raises serious concerns about transparency and trust. Users should never have to worry about losing their own money inside an app. This feels extremely unfair and misleading.

Overall, this has been a frustrating experience. I would strongly advise others to be cautious while using the wallet feature on this app until they improve their policies and communication.

Fraud alert

This is a big time fraud from Big Basket - BBinstant machine is placed in my corporate and there has been many cases where users pay for 20 re product and then when they check they are charges for products that they did not take and for all customer care says that door was open and some one else took other products and so you need to bear the cost. They are unable to provide evidence or any support. This is a scam run by BBInstant, PLEASE DO NOT USE BBINSTANT MACHINES ANYWHERE.

Manipulative Wallet Balance Tactics. Not expected by TATA

I had an unpleasant experience using Big Basket Instant. While purchasing a Rs. 20 chips packet, I was required to maintain a minimum wallet balance of Rs. 100. After topping up and completing the purchase, I tried buying another item, only to find the minimum balance had expired (Rs 80). To proceed, I had to add more money to the wallet, which “coincidentally”cannot be transferred if unused. Additionally, there are no items worth exactly Rs. 100 or close to it, forcing customers to spend more money unnecessarily. And why isn’t there a ADD TO CART ?? Had there been a CART, we could add more than 1 item and proceed to buy.
This feels like a manipulative tactic to extract more money from users, especially since the wallet balance remains locked. It’s disappointing to see such practices from a platform owned by TATA, which is known for its ethical standards. Very Cheap and Disappointing.
