[Resolved]  Santhimadom Builders — Non-refund of money

Address:Thrissur, Kerala

I had paid a total amount of 15 lakh rupees by cheque to Santhimadom Builders and Developers in November and December 2010. After the initial dealing and other issues, I decided to withdraw from the scheme in December 2010 itself and informed the chairman of Santhimadom Builders and Developers, Dr. Radhakrishnan. He agreed to refund the money in 2 weeks. Since then I have made dozens of calls to him and he has returned only 7 lakh rupees so far. He finally promised that by March 2011 he will refund the full amount. He has given dozens of dates thereafter, but it is now June and I have not received any more money.

It has been over 6 months and I am yet to get 8 lakh rupees refund.

Regards,
Dr. Joy I Cheenath (retd. IAS)

Of course, a case is to be filed against the builder for cheating. Infcat the affected persons should forma forum and file a PIL against the builder mafia including shantimadom for cheating the customers with false promises. Santimadom's style of functioning seems to be tricky. They never advertise in the news papers. They do not have a printed application form for booking and not maintaining a payment schedule. They have not taken the approval from the authorities to build the villas. They are not even a registered company under company's act. Their activities are too much doubtful and involved in violation of FCRA also. A thorough enquiry by IB, CBI, ED etc are to be conducted against the builder mafia. The new UDF govt should take the initiative.
These malayalis will never learn from experiences. If anybody comes with some stupid advertisements, they will simply believe the same and lose money.

All private companies are frauds
