I m also in same situation. I have paid 90, 000/- via card swipe on 14th May as booking amount for Upper Thane project, Casa Tree Tops.
A couple of days later, I informed them that I wont be able pay full cost and want to cancel my booking. They said, Refund wont be made and their sales team tried to convince me for some other projects like Pallava, Amara etc. Let us connect and sort this out.
Again, I went to meet them so as to discuss regarding my refund of booking amount of 90, 000/-, they clearly denied.
One of Their GM: 'Hemant' said, You can cancel your booking, but expect no refund.
They simply cheat new customers by calling them multiple times initially, and then they trap all the innocent customers by hurrying them to pay the booking amount. Once, you sit with their sales person, 2-3 more people will come around trying to trick you and compel you to give your swipe card instantly. Moreover, there are some cunning people, so called, who next discusses with you regarding the LOANs and EMI process. This person will be even bigger fraudster. Initially, he will say, Sir your LOAN will be approved based on your requirement. Later, that #######, changes his words.

This is one big scale of fraud and massive scam LODHA is practising in the market, i.e tricking customers into Pay booking amount and capsizing it. Because we are GENUINE people and if this malpractice is continued, this is total Fraud and appropriation without prior information.
Some definite legal action needs to be taken regarding this scam and also more and more Home-Buyers must be made informed about this malpractices, so that they don't fall prey just like me.

I could agree more than you. They should provide with a horrible rating star. These guys only believe in looting the customers and siphoning their hard earned money.
With RERA COMING IN TO FORCE they claim to abide by the act but are absolutely doing what they feel like. They take the booking amount from me and for 20 days they do not share the draft of the agreement with me their customer care is never on the numbers you call them... Then they try to resolve the problem and hold you back... Ultimately they do not resolve any problem and only again tell you that i[censored] intend to cancel we will forfeit the money... It is a complete money making racket nothing else... If you all are planning to file a complaint let's us do so together

There have been many victims of this scam. And, the numbers are huge. What is the point in seizing someone's hard earned white money. General public like us who dream of buying a house on our life-savings, book with the willingness to own a home and adhere the entire payment schedule, but unfortunately, perhaps, due to some financial crunches or issues we are unable to afford it and inform the same.
Atleast, out of humanity, they should have a provision of deduction 10% or maybe 20% of booking amount and refunding the rest if someone cancels the booking or unwilling to continue.
Lodha, needs to be clear on this until something wrong or unexpected goes otherway.
After RERA is implemented probably in a month or two, refunding will still take time I believe situation might take time to improve.
