Question: False promise of cash back. A property channel partner promised me to give 1% of the sale value of a new flat as cash back 30 to 45 days from the date of agreement. It’s been 4 months since sale agreement was executed. I am chasing the channel partner to issue the cash back and there is no response from them. I have an email from the sales team about this 1% cash back. Can I take legal action against them
If the property channel partner had the dishonest intension right from the beginning then he has committed the offence of cheating. You can file a first information report against him under section 420, 467 & 468 of Indian Penal Code 1860.
He had executed an agreement to reinforce his promise but later violated that agreement. It further strengthens the case against him. In such a situation, you may consider initiating a civil proceeding against them to seek compensation and recover any losses incurred as a result of his breach of agreement.
