January 31, 2025 at 8:20 amMy father passed away, leaving behind a mortgage loan. Unfortunately, the loan didn’t have insurance, so the bank advised me to sell the house before a court order was issued. I started the selling process and found a buyer who gave me a ₹5 lakh token payment via cheque. He claimed to have a pre-approved loan, which turned out to be false. Meanwhile, I lost other potential buyers.Now, I’ve received a notice to vacate the property, meaning I can’t proceed with the sale. Am I legally required to return the ₹5 lakh token to the buyer?

January 31, 2025 at 11:28 amHow did you take the token without agreement. Either way token represent a deposit and insurance the person will buy the house. If he backed out without any genuine reason or problem, in this case kied to you then you can keep the money.-

January 31, 2025 at 11:35 amKoi agreement nahi tha, sirf ek paper pe likha hai ki usne token diya hai. Actually agreement ek banana tha usse lekin usne bola ki usko loan approve hua hai jyada amount ka aisa usne bola toh extra amount jo mere account mein aayega woh main usse return karunga aisa sab agreement mein add karna tha. Lekin loan koi approve hua nahi tha toh usne agreement banaya nahi, usne cheque dediya. Abhi bol raha hai loan approved hai lekin abhi bank wale flat bechne ko allow nahi kar rahe hai, kyonki court ka order aa chuka hai-

January 31, 2025 at 11:37 amThen can’t you and the bank sit together and negotiate. Bank will ultimately sell the flat, as you are giving them a ready customer I guess they will agree. The only thing is money will go to the bank first and then they will refund money after clearing off the loan.-

January 31, 2025 at 10:49 amif loan is approved, ask him to get it registered.. tell him that you have used that amount of 5lakh and will return only after selling the house.. if there is no agreement, he cant do much…. ask him to get it loan from other bank if current bank is not approving or his 5lac will be gone.-

January 31, 2025 at 10:58 amOk, lekin police isme kuch karsakti hai? Kyonki usne cheque payment kiya tha, aur yeh 5 lakh bhi gaya toh mere paas kuch nahi bachega uski galti ke wajah se. Waise bhi ghar gaya, mummy papa gaye, ghar ke upar ke paise gaye, 5 lakh bachenge toh kuch help hogi meri-

January 31, 2025 at 11:06 amthey can put a civil case.. you can drag it for few months /years depending upon the lawyer. it will cost you money too.. you also have to put a case back.. also you can say that money was not for token but he gave me as he took cash from you sometime back or something else.. its not ethical but it will give you some time.. ideally you shoudl return it.. if not now, may be later..

January 31, 2025 at 9:59 amUse the 5L to pay down the EMIs. Get the notice to vacate withdrawn or suspended. Continue efforts to sell the house, maybe even to the person who gave you the 5L.-

February 3, 2025 at 9:18 amDepends on whether there is a state law requiring you to return token amount, Kerala has. If the state has such a law you will need to show injury and loss of money. Otherwise you can keep the money, that is the purpose of token to hedge against the risk from opportunity cost.
