Yes, you are right Dear, Cancelling any type of property involves several official formalities. It is not the best way to send e-mails regarding request of cancellation.

Hello Dev, Please read your agreement paper, whether there is any provision written in the document. If yes, then follow that only. Usually, builder deducting some amount as a cancellation charges and will repay the rest amount. For booking cancellation procedure you have to talk with your legal experts.
As per my knowledge, most of the cancellation instances occur due to buyers reconsidering their financial circumstances or unnecessary project delays. Some important thing that I want to share with you, Information related to cancellation clauses is usually written in Builder-buyer agreements including a sale agreement or property allotment. Go through the documents in detail as cancellation will be subject to the terms mentioned.
Hello dear, I think you should keep copies of all documents which you have signed at the time of booking like agreement paper also save any acknowledgement document you receive, especially in lieu of a payment. It is best to pay through checks or other recordable modes rather than cash.
Keep all communication in writing. Verbal assurances and promises will not hold in a court if a complaint has to be filed. Any VAT or service Tax paid will not be refunded in case of a cancellation. Application forms, acknowledgement or allotment letters may also contain terms and conditions of a cancellation which can be used to claim refunds from the builder
