Cheque bounced while applied for refund from a real estate company Cheque bounced while applied for refund from a real estate company

4 years ago

I applied for a refund from a real estate company as their creditibilty was under suspicions. They issued me two Cheque of future date and both of them bounced due to insufficient funds. Now they are not giving me any further cheques and signed a declaration form stating they will refund same amount in NEFT. That commitment also failed. Now both the cheques have been over 4 months. How to get my money refunded.

A.Dear Sir
If the cheques are within limitation period then file cheque bounce cases after issuing legal notices or file a civil suit for which you have three years time from the date of bounce.

A.Send them a legal notice.
File a suit for money recovery in the Civil Court.
In the alternative,
You can also file a case in the consumer forum.

A.Dear Client since the cheques have bounced you could have filed the cheque bounce case but it seems that yo have crossed the time limit and your cheques are stale too. So next that you can do is to send them a strong legal notice to start establishing the case and then file a Money Suit in Civil court to recover your money from them.
You may also file a case in consumer forum but that can be decided only after looking at the agreement you had with the builder.
