Refund of the money for the Catering Services
Question
I had booked the services of a local caterer for the engagement of my sister dated 24th April. However, owing to Corona the function can’t be scheduled until further notice. Thus I asked the owner to refund the advance but he outrightly denied to refund the amount which I feel is wrong . How can I get my money back?

In your situation, there are two possibilities. Firstly if its only the advance money paid for the booking, the same can be refunded if you dont wish to continue with the same caterer after the lockdown period is over. However it is advisable to wait and schedule the function once lockdown is lifted. Because at present it is a situation where the caterer is also not at fault and though you are entitled to refund in normal circumstances yet it is advisable to wait for the lockdown. Meanwhile you can get an agreement or an undertaking signed by the caterer that the advance money paid shall remain in hia deposit for the function whenever rescheduled.
