• Token refund

I pad token money of ₹7lacs to seller through check after an agreement of property. Told the seller that rest of the amount I will be paying only when home loan is sanctioned. My home loan on that particular property was disapproved as one floor found to be extra than the approved map. Which was not told to me or neither reflected in agreement. Now I want to cancel the agreement but the seller is refusing to do so. Seller is refusing to refund the token money.

Seller does not have clear and marketable title to property 

 

2) you can cancel your agreement and seek refund on grounds that loan application has been rejected as title of seller is not clear and marketable 

 

3) if seller fails to refund file suit for refund of your token money with interest 

 

4) also file police complaint of cheating and criminal breach of trust against seller

If your agreement contained a condition of return of money on not fulfilling any other condition, and if that any other condition is not fulfilled, certainly your money can be returned. you can file recovery of money suit along with interest.

You can cancel the agreement. You are eligible for refund of token money since the contract could not be excuted due to some fault on part of the seller. Further non disclosure of any material defects in the property is a fradulent activity for which criminal case can be filed.

you can file a civil suit for recovery of your token money. It is better to give one opportunity to refund your money. Issue one legal notice to the seller in the regard. Then go for legal recourses.

You have to send a legal notice to the seller that he has cheated you and not disclosed the information regarding the unauthorised plans also not provided copy of same so he is liable to refund the amount.

If on notice he fails you need to file a suit to recover same.

The report of the bank refusing you the loan shoukd be shown to the seller. If he still refuses file a criminal complaint against him under section 406 420 of the IPC.

Dear sir,

since you have paid the token amount and the fault is on the part of the other party. According to my understanding, the best way out for you is to send him a legal notice because your loan was disapproved due to fault on the part of the seller. consequently, you can file a consumer complaint on the basis of the legal notice.

you can contact me for consultation. If any.

If the seller is refusing to refund the token amount you may communicate your decision to cancel the agreement for the reason that there is a deviation in the construction hence bank is not sanctioning the loan, hence to refund the same within 7 days from the date of receipt of this notice, and send this legal demand notice by registered post after which you can file a money recovery suit before a civil court.
