Unitech Limited is not a scheduled bank or NBFC, so how it offered Fixed Deposit Facility, receipt/ agreement needs to be studied, however believing your words if it was really Fixed Deposit and it is mature, they will have to return it with settled interest, raise your demand in writing, than give legal notice, they are most likely to come forward and settle with you otherwise file consumer complaint, you have a sure case.

But as you have invested you amount in bank so became consumer for bank and if bank hasade any deficiency in service then you may approach to consumer forum. For more clarification and Details you may fix appointment.
