First you send a legal notice along with necessary documents regarding this issue ,to the promoter company. Then wait for one month. If that promoter company does not comply with the issues then give a complaint for cheating and also can file a suit against him for recovery of the money. Act in accordance with law.

Hi,

You can do both simultaneously. For cheating you by promising something and taking money on that promise, for which you can file a criminal complaint with the police. Also, approach the Consumer Forum for the deficiency in service where you can claim damages and refund of your money.
