Online shopping often comes with discounts and deals, but a recent incident on Swiggy Instamart has caught attention for allegedly offering “Rs 5,00,000 free cash.” Several Reddit users have claimed it was a glitch. A viral post on r/india includes screenshots showing ” Rs 4,000 to Rs 5,00,000 in free cash” on Swiggy Instamart. According to the post, many users availed of this offer, and their orders were successfully delivered. However, Swiggy reportedly contacted users, informing them of a glitch and requesting a return of the items.
The post includes screenshots of the Swiggy app showing successfully placed orders for expensive items like a Fire TV Stick, vacuum cleaner, and speakers. The post’s title reads, “Someone is definitely losing their job at Swiggy.”

The post has sparked mixed reactions. While some called it a glitch, others speculated it was a marketing stunt.
“It looks like they launched an offer but messed up the probability settings,” a user wrote.
Another commented, “This has to be a marketing gimmick, right? Everyone I know got Rs 40- Rs 100 off. Did anyone actually receive this much discount?”
One user shared, “My friend got Rs 4,000, and the order was delivered.”
Another quipped, “It showed Rs 4 lakh for me too. I thought it was some random loan scheme.”
