Let us help you check your document and advise you before taking back a refund from builder or signing any settlement/ cancellation document from builder. Builder refund doesn't mean that you just ask the builder to give back your money. There are various factors that play into this. The quantum of money paid, Agreement for Sale, Possession Date, Cancellation Policy, RERA registration, Correspondence and why you want to seek a refund.

What we try to help our clients with is how much they can claim from the developer, on what grounds and what to avoid. Builder Refund is generally a term used to define the scenario where buyer/allottee can get his/her money back if he is eligible to exit from the deal or want to get his money back. It will depend on the facts of each case and the agreement and law that applies to that situation.

India Code But we can't say that you'll always be eligible to get a refund just because you are the buyer. Its good if buyer gets refunded quickly.
