Sir,
I booked a flat with a builder (FDI) in Gurgaon in 2013.
I paid three (03) installments totaling approx INR 28 lacs.
Due to some heavy losses and financial crunch I could not pay some of the installments and wanted to cancel my booking and asked for refund. Project is still uncompleted.
Builder has totaled up an amount of approx INR 55 lacs as fine/ late charges and has told me my entire money (INR 27 lacs) is forfeited and now telling me to pay balance amount.
Kindly advise how can I get my hard earned money back.

1. File grievance petition before the local Consumer court and pray for the relevant damages and compensation, against the builder.

Discuss in detail with local lawyer and file complaint with the consumer forum. Your case seem to be filed with state consumer forum.
Draft RERA rules have been formed and put on the site in Haryana, may explore the possibility to take benefit of the same.

I am really grateful to you for kind advise.
Has Grievance Petition to be file through advocate/lawyer or there is some format for it like RTI.
Sorry for my very limited knowledge and exposure to legal procedures.
Thanks a ton.
