Firslty, as per the information mentioned I th epresnet query, makes it clear that you have cancelled the booking, but not refunded till yet.

Secondly, you may have to approach the RERA forum to get the same back plus interest over it since then till now.

Thirdly, it has been showing very great ration of completion of cases before it in many states of our Country.

Send the builder legal notice seeking the refund of the money.

If the time is short between the date of payment and date of cancellation then the builder is bound to refund the money immediately deducting a nominal amount towards processing fees, if any.

if he does not refund then you can file a case before the consumer forum wherein you would be awarded with both refund, interest and compensation.

Get a legal notice issued to builder

You wont get relief from Rera as there is no registered agreement

However if project is Rera registered then you can invoke section 12 of rera for making of misrepresentation by builder due to which you had to cancel booking

The fixed court fee for rera is 5k

You may or may not get relief there, but whatever it is, the outcome is very fast

If you go to file a civil suit in district court it will be essentially useless as it takes many years

You may choose to file a consumer complaint against the builder before State Commission or National Commission (depending upon territorial and pecuniary jurisdiction) and claim refund with interest rate.

Commission has been passing orders in favour of consumer in such kind of cases.

Sir give builder a legal notice to refund your amount which is duly acknowledged by him.

If he fails file a consumer complaint before district forum and seek interest along amount and compensation for mental harassment for malpractice of builder.

Please refer to your application and see the class of application and cancellation I believe there is a cancellation class without no refund that's the reason that builder is not paying you back but in case there is no classes search you can move your complaint to the consumer forum against the Builder and at the same time you can complaint in rera against the Builder

This is my response to you:

1. Firstly send a legal notice to him;

2. Read the terms of the allotment letter;

3. If it is RERA registered then you can file complaint there;

4. If problems still persist then approach police station;

5. Consult a local lawyer and take steps.

You send a legal demand notice to the builder and if he is still not responding or not complying with the demand made, then you can file a money recovery suit or drag him to consumer forum for relief and remedy including compensation for the deficiency in service.
