Draft with Lawyer
What follows if they don'tCivil recovery, or a consumer complaint if it's a business, stated factually and scaled to your situation.
A formal demand for the exact advance amountReferenced against your booking, receipt or payment record, so the figure isn't in dispute.
Your right to a refund, not just a complaintThey can't keep money for work that was never done. The notice states this as a right, not a request.
A clear deadline to refundMost notices give 15 days.
What was promised, and by whenThe scope and timeline you agreed to, so the notice shows plainly what wasn't delivered.
Any extra cost their delay caused you, where it's realHiring someone else, or a date that couldn't be moved. Stated modestly, and only where it genuinely applies to you.
Most vendors refund once it's formalA demand from a customer is easy to put off. A dated legal notice, with an advocate's name on it, is harder to ignore.
It turns a stalled project into a dated claimEndless calls and messages don't create a record. A formal notice, with a deadline attached, does.
It keeps every door openWhether this ends up as a civil claim, a consumer complaint, or, in the rare case where it's warranted, something more serious, sending the notice doesn't close off any of those options. It's the step that comes first regardless.

They receive a formal, dated demandDispatched by email, WhatsApp and registered post, with tracking.
2
They get a deadline to refundMost notices give 15 days. Many disputes like this end here, once the demand is specific and on record.
3
If they don't pay, your route depends on the situationFor most cases, that's a civil suit for recovery, or a consumer complaint if the vendor is a business and you paid for personal use. If there's real evidence they never intended to deliver, not just that things went wrong, a criminal complaint becomes an option too.

You are not doing this aloneTalk to an advocate through DigiLawyer about which route actually fits, including whether what happened looks like an ordinary stalled project or something more serious.

Needed a money recovery notice for an unpaid freelance invoice. Shared the invoice and chats, got a lawyer-reviewed draft, and delivered it by email and WhatsApp. Felt like I finally had a formal record of the dues.

Landlord was delaying my security deposit after I moved out. DigiLawyer's money recovery notice path was simple. Advocate stamped the draft, and I had clear wording on what I was asking for. The other side finally responded after weeks of silence.

Used DigiLawyer for a money recovery notice when rent arrears kept getting pushed. Draft was ready quickly, reviewed by a lawyer, and readable for a non-lawyer. Helpful formal step when informal follow-ups were going nowhere.

A friend stopped replying on a personal loan I had given. DigiLawyer helped me draft a money recovery notice quickly, and an advocate reviewed it before sending. The language was firm but easy to understand. Soft copy came through fast.

I had been trying to get my money back for months. DigiLawyer helped me send a strong legal notice, and within a few days, the other party finally responded. Really grateful!

Can I hire someone else and claim the difference?

Often, yes. The extra cost of a replacement vendor can be claimed as damages, as long as it's a genuine, reasonable cost, not an inflated one.

What if I only have a WhatsApp confirmation, no signed agreement?

Still enough to act on. Chats, receipts and payment records are accepted as evidence. A signed booking form or work order makes the claim stronger and can open a faster court route.

Am I entitled to a full refund, or just to file a complaint?

A full refund. They can't keep money for work that was never done. You may also be able to claim reasonable extra costs the delay caused you, under Section 73 of the Indian Contract Act, though that needs to be a real, foreseeable loss, not a rough estimate.

Is an AI-drafted notice legally valid?

Yes. Every AI-drafted notice is reviewed and stamped by a registered advocate before it goes out. It carries the same legal weight as a notice drafted the traditional way.

How long do I have to claim it back?

Three years, under the Limitation Act, 1963. The clock generally starts from when the work was due and wasn't delivered, or from when they refused to refund, not automatically from the day you paid.

What if they say the delay wasn't their fault?

Then it's likely a civil dispute about performance, not a refusal. The notice still works, since it formally demands they finish or refund by a set deadline.

Can I take this to consumer court instead?

Often, yes, if the vendor is a business and you paid for personal use rather than resale. Most disputes at this scale go to the District Consumer Commission.
