You can make online complaint in the consumer forum and at RERA site.

- There is no guidelines laid down by the government to forfeit the booking amount for the cancellation, and the deduction is done at the builder’s discretion.

- Since, you have cancelled the booking within 15 days period after informing the official of the builder , then the builder cannot deduct any amount and liable to refund the entire amount paid by you. 

- You can wait for the return of the cheque and refund at least 10 days , otherwise you can send a legal notice to get refund the paid amount and also the said cheque. 

Dear client I am sorry to hear that but in this case you can approach RERA for the same if the Builder does not provide money within the prescribed period of time

You can inform builder the same. If he takes any legal action you need to counter the same 

Depends if there is a forfeiture clause in the booking/allotment form.

Nevertheless, only a reasonable amount can be forfeited; and the builder cannot stake a claim over the 2nd trench of 13 lacs paid by your through PDC. 

First, issue a notice through a competent lawyer demanding refund of the booking advance on or before a set deadline. On default, lodge a written complaint with the consumer forum, in consultation with your lawyer. Also, lodge a written complaint with the State RERA authority and seek redress.

You'll be governed as per the terms and conditions for cancellation as per the application form signed by you.

If the cancellation provision is arbitrary and is tilted in favour of the builder, then the same can be challenged before court and can be declared as unilateral and hence void.

In case the cancellation of due to any fault of the builder, then you will not be liable to pay any cancellation amount to him.
