It's been 8years she has not returned the money when asked she says she will return it later but no luck until date. please assist if we can take a legal action against them

1. Money has been given in Cash, hence there would be no documentary records, for purpose of court litigation.

2. Money was given 8 years ago, hence it is out of limitation period to file any recovery proceedings in court.

Your mother cab serve legal notice and if your aunt acknowledges the debt, you can pursue the matter.

Even if the amount was transferred in Bank account of your aunt, the amount was lended 8 years back, which can not be recovered through legal process at this stage, as limitation  for instituting suit for recovery is 3 years, as correctly analysed and advised by expert Mr. Henmant Agrawal, I fully agree and appreciate his acumen..

Try to get a Promissory Note or letter acknowledging the liability. Adding to that if you could get a cheque you can present and file necessary legal proceedings.
