I asked him to take my newly constructed house. He refused and threatening me for money. I asked him to give some time to refund money. Can he able to put a case based on neft transaction. There is no other documents accept neft record in his statement. He is threatening me of putting case on me. What I to do now?

HI,
yes he can file a civil case by way suit for recovery recovery of money based on that transaction.
burden of proof lies up on him to prove that you received money from him.
NEFT transaction will help him to prove his case.
but there is a time limit to file this type of cases. he has to file with in three years from the date of transaction.
if he is threatening you for money you can take criminal action against him.
