Payment made but receipt not received

Dear Experts,

I am an NRI and bought a flat in Thane, Maharashtra through my friend.

I sent the cheque of 14 Lack by courier to India in the name of the builder's company and the amount is also credited in builder's account . This amount is 60% of the property value, remaining 40% I transffered  to my Friends's account by NEFT.

My friend has given this money to the builder by cash.

Now, its been a month the builder is not given any receipt of either amount, no any other paper and my friend is telling trust us there is no problem when you come to India for registration he will register your flat.

I have confirmed the builder's company name from some other person who has also purchased a flat and completed the registration process too.

Now please advice me if builder or my friend cheats me, can I take any legal action to get money/flat back.

I will come back to India in December, and he said registration will be done within 3 days when you come to India.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

S Choudhary.
