Refund of booking amount for flat

Sir,

My father booked a flat on April 2013 by paying 2 lakhs in cheque as booking amount and a receipt given by them. After 5 days, due to some personal reason he cancelled the booking verbally. The builder told that he will return the money soon when someone will book a flat as some 20% deduction is done automatically for new booking by banks as informed by him.

Now 7 months over, still he is telling that no booking took place during this period ans as soon as a booking will be done, he will return the money.

Please suggest what my father can do now.

Thanking you.

You can send legal notice and call builder to pay the booking amount.

Did you father enter into any agreement with the builder?, if so what are the conditions governing the return of advance amount?, show your papers to your local advocate, seek his advise and proceed further, I think you may have to talk to the guy and then issue notice or else, you may sometimes be at fault resulting into total forfeiture ofthe amount paid to him.
