How can I get my money back from my friend?

I live outside India. I lent money to my friend in India for a medical emergency on May 24, 2023, via online transfer. He promised to repay within 4 months. There is a WhatsApp chat to prove the transaction. He confirmed receiving the money on May 25, 2023, but has not communicated since. I requested another friend to call him, and he said he would repay soon but didn’t confirm a date. What options do I have to get my money back?

Since you have evidence of the loan transaction and communication, you can send a legal notice to your friend demanding repayment. If there is no response, you can file a civil suit for recovery of the amount. WhatsApp chats can serve as proof in court, which strengthens your case.
