Refund Dispute Due to Missing Legal Documents – Seeking Guidance

Question

I tried to buy the property, but when we went for legal verification, the developers failed to produce some legal documents that are mandatory to complete the process. Since they did not provide the required documents, I asked for a refund of my token amount. Now, they are saying that I will get the refund after 90 days, with a 10% deduction as cancellation charges. Initially, they informed me that I would get a full refund. Now, they are saying that I will receive only 90% of the payment.

I have a payment receipt for what I’ve paid, which mentions the cancellation charges but does not specify any cancellation procedure in case of legal issues with the land.

Should I pursue legal action?

    Yes, you have valid legal grounds to pursue action if the developer is refusing a full refund due to their own failure to provide essential legal documents for verification. it is advisable to send a Legal Notice and Demand a full refund without deductions, citing the failure to furnish necessary legal documents. If they do not comply, file a complaint with the Consumer Forum (District Commission if the amount is under ₹50 lakhs), or with RERA (if the project is registered under RERA).
