How can I recover my money legally?
Sir, my ex hostel has taken advance 9000rs as security money but now he is not give it back. I left the hostel because of their food, students etc. He said he will give my money back within a month but now he blocked me from call. now it's almost 1and half month. What should I do sir ?
If your ex-hostel has not returned your ₹9,000 security deposit, review any hostel agreement or receipt you received when you paid the security deposit. Draft a formal letter or email requesting the return of your security deposit. Include details such as the amount, date of payment, and a deadline for repayment. Send this via registered post or email to create a record of your request. Keep records of all communications, including your initial agreement, payment receipt, and any messages or emails exchanged with the hostel management. If you still do not receive your money back, consider consulting a lawyer to explore legal options. You can file a complaint in the consumer court for the return of the deposit, as this falls under consumer rights.
Under Section 318 of the BNS you can sue them for fraud if they deceived you to get the money. Additionally, you can file a case under Section 316 of BNS for criminal breach of trust. If the court finds the person guilty, they could face imprisonment and be ordered to repay the money.
Sir, firstly you should demand money amicably and if he does not respond to it then you can send legal notice for money recovery with the help of an expert lawyer who will assist you to file a civil suit in court of law. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
