“Whenever I ask my mom for 1 chapati, she serves 2. Yesterday she asked me for 50k… looks like it’s my turn to serve double,” Akshad wrote, while sharing a screenshot of a transaction. He said that when his mother asked for 50,000, he decided to return the gesture by sending her double the amount.

At first, Akshad attempted to transfer 1 lakh, but when that failed due to a daily transaction limit, he successfully sent her 99,000.
