Fintech services company PhonePe has responded to what it said to be "unauthorized usage" of its logo by Madhya Pradesh Congress and noted that it may take legal actions against them.
Posters featuring Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, which purportedly say, pay 50% (commission) and get your work done, have been put up at various locations in Gwalior town. Such posters were also seen in Chindwara, Rewa, Satna, and the state's capital city Bhopal, and were later removed by the administration.
The posters are in the form of QR code sheets used by fintech companies for accepting online payments. 'PhonePe' could be clearly seen written on top of those posters. "PhonePe objects to the unauthorized usage of its brand logo, by any third party, be it political or non-political. We are not associated with any political campaign or party," PhonePe posted on its Twitter handle.
