Builder not returning amount paid to him for booking
17-Feb-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
I had paid 3 lakh to a builder/colonizer as an advance for a society plot in Noida, but somehow he did not get the possession of that plot. He gave us post dated cheques to return our money but then he started requesting us not to put cheque in bank as he will pay us cash. He has never denied to pay money, but never paid also. I last received his message on January 29th that he is in Bombay and will call us once he is back. Now he has switched his phone. The Cheque he gave is of July 7, 2014 date. Please advise what legal action can be taken against him and how can I get my money back.
It is advised that you send him a legal notice demanding refund of money along with interest. In case he fails to pay within a month, file a consumer complaint under the Consumer Protection Act.
