Dear sirs,
We have an issue where the seller of the flat is not returning our token amount (rs. 2 lac)paid by cheque (we don’t have receipt /agreement of sale/MoU)
after deal is cancelled as the properly is attached by Sales tax dept.
The details are: We identified a resale flat in a cooperative society in Mumbai in Mar-15. Since the seller is based out of Delhi, we spoke to him on phone and fixed the deal in presence of our broker. We also handed over the token cheque of Rs. 2 lacs to our broker to hand over to owner while signing the agreement of sale/MoU. He sent the cheque to owner with draft of agreement of sale. While the owner deposited the cheque, he kept on delaying the agreement to sale and eventually did not send it. later on we came to know that the house has been attached by the sales tax dept for not paying sales tax dues on owner business. We decided to cancel the deal. However the owner is not returning our token amount. Our broker is also not active and is evading responsibility by not even taking our calls. We don’t have any written document/receipt of money with the owner. What is the way out to get our token money back ?
