Based on the facts stated, if the consultant accepted ₹15,000 on the assurance that the amount would be refunded if the interview was not scheduled, and despite repeated requests has neither refunded the money nor responded for over a month, you may initiate legal action. First, preserve all evidence such as payment receipt, bank statement/UPI transaction, WhatsApp chats, emails, advertisements and call records. Send a formal legal notice demanding refund within a stipulated time. If there was dishonest intention from the beginning, you may also lodge a complaint on the National Cyber Crime Portal or with the local police for cheating. If the amount is still not refunded, you may also consider filing a consumer complaint for deficiency in service and unfair trade practice, depending on the facts and available evidence.

You should definitely file a criminal complaint against him and get a FIR registered. You will get your money back and as well as the HR will be jailed. For any further legal enquiry you can contact me directly
