You have stated that the property was sold to the builder. If the property was already sold, on the basis of agreement, you can sue for recovery of money. 

If the property is not yet sold and if there is any clause for forfeiting the sale advance amount in case of default of the purchaser to pay balance sale consideration within stipulated time, you can forfeit the same after issuing notice. If no such default clause is available, you have to send notice to the purchaser by specifically stating that the amount would be forfeited if the transaction is not completed within time frame. You can also claim compensation also.

I agree with the views of learned advocate Saleema Kabeer on the issue and her advises seems to be practicable, you may follow it or seek an opinion from your own lawyer for further proceedings on the issue.
