Dear client 

The builder cannot refuse the refund and there was no agreement between you and builder.

If he doesn't return the money send him a mail again after that send him legal notice to proceed legally against him. 

You must have signed an application form at the time of flat booking. Please check if there are any hidden terms and conditions mentioned in the backside of the Booking Form.

I presume project is registered with RERA 

2) builder can deduct 10 per cent of booking amount and refund you balance 

3) if he refuses file complaint against builder before consumer forum and seek orders to direct builder to refund your money with interest 

4) also claim litigation costs and compensation for mental torture undergone by you 

You can state the same for builder of he refuses you can file a complaint with rera

In case there is condition of forfeiture in the application form the builder may forefiet the amount and you need to then file a complaint before RERA authority or consumer court to seek refund.

Hi,as per RERA provisions if the allotte wants to cancel the booking without any fault of the builder ,then the booking amount shall be forfeited and the balance amount will be refunded to the allottee 

If you have not signed any sell agreement than its ok, builder has to refund 100% amount otherwise builder may deduct 10% or mentioned in the brochure the terms and conditions of cancellation of flat.

Kindly check brochure and if you have signed a single paper of booking in that termination clause may be mentioned in that kindly check.

Dear Client,

You may claim your booking amount, but builder may deduct some amount from the booking amount.

You are liable to be refunded the booking amount after subjecting the same to applicable deductions in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the booking form. 

Having said the above, by means of your letter to the builder, you should seek full refund of your booking amount. 

He can deduct 10%, find fault of builder than ask for refund. How advance he took, without ATS, cannot take more than 10%  in advance.
