A.dear client in your matter You need to send him a Legal Notice asking for the refund of the amount along with damages
sustained. A better advice would have been given if you would have shared the agreement between you and the builder.

A.Serve a 15 days legal notice to the builderasking for refund with interest .if not returned file a case under the consumer act.if the builder doesn't have permission to construct and yet took money , it amounts to cheating also.Then file complaint with the police also.

Thank you sir for response, sorry to ask one more question...In the receipt the builder has mentioned that "this is a proposed project, yet to receive cc" I paid money because at that time he said the project will start soon.. my question is even then can I raise a cheeting case that he took money without having permission to build.
