Hello All,
I had booked a shop one year back. At that time the builder informed me the possession of the shop will be within 6 months. I paid around 16 lacs as the booking amount. There was no agreement done. There was a simple booking form .
Now even after an year the builder has not started the work and he now informed that the plan is gone for revision.
I asked him to cancel the booking and provide me a refund. He is not providing me a date for the refund. He states we can provide you the refund only when the property is rebooked. He had mentioned this in the booking form.
What are my options in this case.

As regards time, cases in Consumer Forum will not take much time. They will be settled in reasonable time. Expenses - depends upon the local advocate's fee. Contact a local advocate and serve legal notice initially and if no response, then file a complaint in the Consumer forum.

From the facts, it seems you may not get relief without legal recourse.
Legal path is time and cost taking, but gives relief if case properly handled and proved.
