1. Your addressing the experts as "hi" is not acceptable, mend yourself.
2. You can rely upon kachha receipt for Rs. 3 lakh, provided it was witnessed by two independent persons.
3. However, was the agreement witnessed/ attested/registered, otherwise there is no legal value for the agreement.
4. You have stated to have paid Rs. 10 lakh on plain paper is unbelievable.
5. Did you issue demand (legal) notice for return of the amount paid by you? If no, demand it now.
6. Engage a local lawyer and proceed.

Dr. Vashista has properly addressed the query. It is unbelievable that you have given money amounting 10 lakhs recording it on a plain paper (probably without witness too?), as advised by experts, issue a demand notice through your lawyer for the entire amount and wait for the reply to process further course of legal action.
