without seeing the sale agreement it is difficult to say whether you can cancel the deed or not. Show the sale agreement to a nearest lawyer to know on this issue.

Hello,

1) Assuming you have signed the Agreement to Sell before the amounts were paid as 20%advance and the amount raised as loan, you have every right to get the service you are paying for and this would entail abiding by BBMP Approved plan.

2) You can issue a legal notice to the builder demanding the return of the amount paid along with interest and the pre closure charges the DHFL would levy on you.

3) Your options would be approaching the Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum and or initiate a civil suit for recovery against the builder.

1. Was the deviation not noticeable before the agreement was made?

2. Cancellation of the booking is permissible only within the four corners of the agreement to sell the flat.

2. You may issue a lawyer;s notice to the builder or owner, as the case may be, to cancel the deal.

You have to issue notice to the builder/vendor you intention to cancel the sale agreement for the obvious reasons quoted therein and demand the refund of advance amount, this may be a lawyer's notice or a notice by yourself, after which if the builder/vendor refuses or disputes your claim, based on the evidence in your possession to prove the irregularity, you may approach the consumer forum for deficiency of service as well as for refund and compensation too alternately you can file money recover suit in civil court
