Hi, if there is any specific clause for forfeiture then you can't do anything and it is binding or else you have to approach Consumer Court for recover of the amount.

If there is any clause regarding the cancellation and botth of you signed the same then terms and conditions of agreement will be follow and the court wil also pass an order as per the performance of agreement executed between you and builder.

But if there is any fault on builder's part then you may file a complaint against builder before consumer court and claim compensation with your booking amount and also claim the interest.

Feel Free to Call

The refund of money has to be within the ambit of cancellation clause. Therefore, if the cancellation clause provides for forfeiture of the booking amount the builder can invoke it. Unless you can show the fault of the builder in the performance of contract you may not be able to recover your money except by going to consumer forum on the ground that the clause is illegal in as much as it provides for forfeiture of money in entirety.

First of all communicate your decision to cancel the booking to the builder in writing and have an acknowledgment of it either by sending it by registered post or handing it over in person.

Let him deny but ask him to give the denial in writing.

If he refuses to give the same in writing, dont worry, don't insist on it.

The evidence of acknowledging the notice intimating your decision of cancelling the booking should be secured.

You can file a money recovery suit also through a civil court.

The agreement should contain the clause for refund, the builder cannot make an agreement without such clauses.
