Advance money paid for flat not being returned

Amar (Querist) 15 November 2022 This query is : Resolved
Hi, in July 2022 my sister had finalized a residential flat in Vasai-Virar ( Near Mumbai) but when my sister and the flat

owner went for registration same couldnt take place due to some issue probably with the property. After finding issue with

registeration my sister demanded the owner to repay Rs 2.50 Lakh which was paid before registeration but the owner kept on

delaying and after putting pressure through local poltician, the Owner agent gradually paid 1 Rs Lakh ( Came to know that

the owner had paid Rs 2.50 lakh to their agent). The agent promised to us that he will gradually return all the money same

he also gave in writing and also gave a signed Cheque which is in agent's borther name as gaurantee
But since over a month the agent hasnt paid anything and each time he is delaying & being rude. Still 1.50 Lakh is pending

, please advise how we can revover our hard earned money

File a case before the Consumer Forum against the builder and his agent consulting a local lawyer.

Yes, File complaint before District Consumer Commission for your grievances against owner and agent and claim the amount paid in advance to them for purchasing flat.
