Refund of booking amount from builder

SKM (User) (Querist) 08 October 2015 This query is : Resolved
I had booked a flat in a pre launch scheme of M/S BCL Homes Ltd at Zirakpur ( Pb.) with an amount of Rs.5.5lac in November 2012.
The said project has never taken off and the builder does not have even the land for the project. Consequently, I have been asking for the refund of my booking amount for the last 2 years but the builder has been dilly-dallying and not refunding the amount. Of late, he has stopped responding to phone calls and e-mails.
What action is suggested to get my refund? I am presently a resident of Faridabad and working in Noida.

The limitation to recover the money is 3 years. The limitation will be over by November 2015.
Therefore, you have to consult a lawyer and file a suit for recovery of the money before November 2015. Otherwise you will not be able to do anything thereafter.

It is Very Unreasonable that when the Builder doesn't even have the Land for Construction why there should be a Period of 3 years and for what.Consult a Local Good advocate and File A Police complaint and Start Criminal Proceedings against Builder Immediately before he could Disappear.

Lodge police complaint / file suit for recovery. Discuss with your lawyer.

Lodge a police complaint against the Builder. Simultaneously file a civil suit for recovery of money.

Where could I file an FIR in this case? At my place of residence or the Builder's
