Hello, If you want to cancel the booking that has to go in writing and in a formal complaint as that will only be your record, and yea they need to return the booking amount if you are not willing to take this ahead, but eveything should be thr jn record with proper reference

You have a valid case for recovery as the builder has neither refunded the amount within the promised 90 days nor followed RERA guidelines. His statement of refunding only 50% has no legal standing if not backed by clear terms in writing. Since health was the reason for cancellation and no agreement was signed limiting your refund, you may be entitled to a full refund. Based on the facts, legal action under RERA or consumer protection law can help recover your money. I can assist you in taking the right steps to ensure your refund is secured effectively.
