1. You can be adviced only after going through your agreement. 
2. So visit me with your agreement.

hello, 

They can not forfeit exorbitant amount of money and can only take the money towards the administrative charges until and unless they are able to show that they there was a loss that they suffered due to your cancellation. 

File a case before the National Consumer Forum. 

Regards 

File a complaint to RERA against such abnormal high amount of deduction towards cancellation charges. You will certainly get appropriate reliefs from the authority. This is certainly illegal and unfair trade practices.

File complaint immediately.

Check the Agreement and T&C, if the same is against the T&C you issue notice for refund of the balance after deducting the agreed amounts.

If they fail to respond, issue notice and file consumer case and/or you can initiate criminal proceedings also.

If terms for cancellation not mention in agreement then 100 percent refund can be claimed from the developer. In case a developer refuses to repay the booking amount even with a clause present in the agreement, the buyer may file a case with the consumer forum asking for a refund with interest.

File a complaint before the RERA authority for the Refund of the rest of amount builder cannot deduct such amount. Also kindly share the breakup of the amount deducted by them.

If you are aggrieved with the quantum of refund, issue a legal notice to Lodha's  in the present matter. 

If your grievance remains unattended despite your legal notice, seek further refund by taking recourse to an appropriate legal remedy.

1. You can file a Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like cheating, intimidation, fraud, breach of trust etc.... against the person, supported with all relevant supporting documents.

2. IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet. The said Person may come down for settlement.

3.  You also have a solution by filing a grievance petition in the local consumer court, supported with all relevant supporting documents, for their malpractices & harassment and request for amounts paid along with interest & compensations.

Only booking amount can be legally forfeited if agreement has not executed. You can approach rera or consumer court for refund

You should send them a legal notice through advocate for refund of remaining money. 

If they fail to refund money in one month of notice date you should file a recovery suit against seller.
