First, send a legal notice to the company demanding your refund within a fixed time. If they fail to respond, file a criminal complaint under Section 318 of BNS 2023 for cheating and a civil recovery suit to claim your money. You may also approach the Consumer Court if services were promised but not delivered. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
