Hi, there is no provision of forfeiture of the entire booking amount in rera. If you are willing to cancel the apartment. The the builder has to return the amount. We are gurgaon based law firm. We need to go through all your documents to proceed further.

Sir, generally the builder buyer agreements have clauses to the similar effect. remedy still exists though if you have a genuine reason to abandon from the project, which are beyond your control. We would require more details.
