class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Section 72 of the Indian Contract Act clearly says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>&#8220;A person to whom money has been paid, or anything delivered, by mistake or under coercion, must repay or return it.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If by mistake you receive something that belongs to someone else,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You must <strong>return<\/strong> the goods or <strong>pay<\/strong> for them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You cannot become the owner just because someone made a mistake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The law is based on a basic principle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>&#8220;No man must grow rich at another person&#8217;s cost.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if there is <strong>no formal contract<\/strong> between two parties, Section 72 creates a <strong>legal

example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you go to a restaurant.<br>You see <strong>Chilli Potato<\/strong> on the menu and ask the waiter to bring it, expecting to pay \u20b9120.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the waiter, by mistake, brings you a plate of <strong>Momos<\/strong> instead of Chilli Potato.<br>Now, Momos are priced at \u20b9110.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not know Section 72, you might feel greedy and think:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the waiter&#8217;s mistake. Let me eat the Momos quietly!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>However, according to Section 72, this is <strong>wrong<\/strong>.<br>Even if the waiter made a mistake, <strong>you must either return the Momos or pay \u20b9110 for them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You <strong>cannot<\/strong> enjoy someone else\u2019s goods without compensating \u2014 otherwise, you are unfairly gaining at their cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The law expects you to behave like a <strong>gentleman<\/strong> \u2014 either <strong>refuse politely<\/strong> when the wrong item comes or <strong>pay the correct price<\/strong> if you consume it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Read Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.igpinstitute.org\/insight\/icai-ca-foundation-registration-date\/\">ICAI CA Foundation Registration Date<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Mistake Situation<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>What You Must Do (Under Section 72)<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>You receive goods by mistake (e.g., Momos instead of Chilli Potato)<\/td><td>Return the goods politely or pay the correct price if consumed<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You receive extra money by mistake (e.g., double payment)<\/td><td>Return the extra money to the sender<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A product or item is delivered to you by mistake<\/td><td>Inform the sender and return the item<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A service is wrongly given to you (e.g., extra service at a restaurant)<\/td><td>Either deny using it or pay reasonable charges if used<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>You benefit from someone&#8217;s honest mistake<\/td><td>Compensate fairly;
