My flat was sold for ₹25 lakh, with a registered agreement and stamp duty paid. The buyer gave me ₹1 lakh as a token and got a ₹18 lakh bank loan. I paid ₹1.5 lakh for registration and stamp duty. I moved out and left the flat vacant. However, the buyer broke into the house and rented it out to a tenant for a large deposit. The police couldn’t help, and the society was unaware. I haven’t signed a possession letter. Can I still get the remaining money?

Yes, you can legally claim the remaining amount. The registered agreement and paid stamp duty establish the sale. The buyer’s illegal actions, including breaking in and renting, do not invalidate the agreement. You can pursue legal action to recover the remaining payment and potentially seek damages for the buyer’s breach of contract.
