Hello!

Working days means days excluding the holidays.

You can get issued a legal notice demanding him to refund the money. He should refund after the same. 

- There is no guidelines laid down by the government to forfeit the booking amount for the cancellation, and the deduction is done at the builder’s discretion.

- Hence, legally, the builder cannot deduct any money out of the advance payment you have made for the booking till the time; a builder-buyer agreement is made and registered with the sub-registrar.

- Further, A builder-buyer agreement is not created until the buyer pays at least 10 per cent of the property value.

- Further, as per Real Estate Regulation Act (RERA), home-buyers can cancel allotment of the apartment booked with a builder at any stage even if there is no default on the part of the developer. The builder is bound by law to return the money collected from buyers within 45 days, after deducting the booking amount.

- Hence, if you have already paid 10 percent of the flat value, and the said agreement signed by you , is not registered in the office of the Registrar , then you are liable to get full amount refund paid by you ,even there is a clause present in the agreement for not refunding  , and if the said agreement is registered , then builder has right to deduct booking amount from the paid amount. 

- If, builder not refunding the same ,then you should lodge your complaint before the Consumer court , and thereby prayed for the refund of paid amount with interest.

- However before filing complaint , you can send a legal demand notice to the said builder . 

You can contact me for sending the legal notice in India. 

He may not respond properly to emails. 

You write to him demanding the specific date of the return of booking amount and also demand him to issue a post dated cheque for the amount to be returned to you by the builder. 

You can send the communication by registered post so that a documentary evidence has been created in this connection. 

You will certainly get a response from the builder for this registered letter communication. 

File complaint against builder before RERA or consumer forum and seek orders to direct builder to refund your money with interest 

If he is rera registered you can approach rera or consumer court. you can also file FIR against him for cheating

Serve them with a legal notice. 

Refer to the terms of sale agreement to find out the norms of cancellation of agreement.

In such circumstances you can file case criminal breach of trust or cheating. 

Another option is to file civil suit for recovery of money. 

You can make online complain in the consumer forum and RERA office.

you need to file a Suit for Recovery of your money alongwith the interest on amount which is to be recovered within the prescribed time otherwise there is no option left for you to forefeit your money.
