Builder not returning deposit money
I bought a flat in a SRA project in Mumbai 5 years ago. I paid the builder 35 % deposit, 2 cheques and some cash as demanded by him. I have receipts for the cheque payments which 20% of deposit. The project kept getting delayed. The builder said that he was trying to get permissions for the work to start. He got all the permissions by 2012. The work started in 2013. The work was very slow. Then his partner died. After his death the builder had issues with his children. Last year in december he told me that he is leaving the project. Since I only knew him in the project I decided to leave as well. I immediately communicated by wiah to him. He assured me that i will get my deposit money plus 15% interest. Now its been 6 months and i havent received the money. First he was answering my calls and giving me assurance. He gave many dates but nothing materlised.
I have given POA to my father. He has sent the builder notice by post. He has returned the notice.
What are my options to get the money? This is my hard earned money? Please advise.
