Welcome to Baveja Properties And Associates . This Refund and Cancellation Policy explains the general terms applicable to cancellation, refunds, booking amounts, consultancy/service charges, and property-related transactions facilitated through our real estate services.
Baveja Properties And Associates operates as a real estate consultant/agent assisting customers with residential and commercial property buying, selling, renting, leasing and investment-related requirements in Jaipur and other applicable locations.
This policy should be read together with the relevant booking form, allotment letter, agreement for sale, lease/rent agreement, service agreement, payment terms and other documents applicable to a particular transaction.

The applicable cancellation and refund terms may differ depending on the type of transaction and the party receiving the payment.
2. Property Booking Amounts
Where a customer pays a booking amount, token amount, advance, earnest money or other amount for a property, the refund and cancellation terms will generally be governed by the applicable booking form, allotment letter, agreement for sale or other written agreement.
Where the payment is made directly to a developer, promoter, property owner, landlord or other third party, the refund obligation will ordinarily be determined by the terms applicable between the customer and that party.
Baveja Properties And Associates does not independently determine or guarantee the refund of an amount that has been received directly by another property owner, developer, promoter or landlord.
3. Cancellation by the Customer
A customer who wishes to cancel a property booking, property transaction or related service should submit the cancellation request in writing.
The request should contain:
- Customer's name
- Contact details
- Property details
- Booking or transaction reference, if applicable
- Date of payment
- Amount paid
- Reason for cancellation
- Relevant payment or booking documents
Cancellation will be processed in accordance with the applicable agreement and the terms communicated at the time of booking or engagement.
For RERA-regulated projects, the rights of the allottee and the promoter will also be subject to the applicable provisions of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, Rajasthan RERA Rules and the relevant agreement.
4. Cancellation of RERA-Regulated Property
For applicable RERA-registered projects, cancellation and refund matters are governed by the applicable RERA provisions and the agreement executed between the allottee and promoter.
Under the Rajasthan RERA model agreement, where an allottee cancels or withdraws from a project without any fault of the promoter, the promoter may be entitled to forfeit the applicable booking amount, while the balance amount is to be returned within the period specified under the applicable terms. The Rajasthan model agreement specifies 45 days for such balance refund.
Where cancellation or withdrawal occurs because of a default or failure attributable to the promoter, the allottee's rights may be different and may include refund and applicable interest or other remedies under RERA.
Customers should review the specific agreement applicable to their property before cancelling.
5. Cancellation of Rental or Lease Transactions
For rental and lease transactions, cancellation, termination, security-deposit refunds, notice periods, lock-in periods, brokerage and other financial terms will be governed primarily by the applicable rent agreement, lease agreement or other written arrangement between the landlord and tenant.
Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing:
- Advance rent may be subject to the terms of the rental agreement.
- Security deposits are subject to the applicable rental or lease terms.
- Notice periods must be followed according to the executed agreement.
- Lock-in-period obligations, where applicable, will be governed by the agreement.
- Any deductions from a security deposit should be based on the applicable agreement and legitimate outstanding obligations.
Baveja Properties And Associates is generally not responsible for refunding a landlord's security deposit where the deposit was paid directly to the landlord.
6. Brokerage and Consultancy Charges
Where Baveja Properties And Associates provides brokerage, consultancy, property search, transaction assistance or other professional services, applicable service or brokerage charges will be communicated to the customer before or during the relevant transaction.
Once a brokerage or consultancy service has been substantially completed or a transaction has been successfully facilitated, the applicable professional fee may become payable and may not be refundable, subject to the agreed terms.
Any advance paid specifically for a service will be considered for refund according to the agreed service terms and the stage at which the service is cancelled.
7. Failed Property Transactions
A property transaction may sometimes fail because of circumstances involving the buyer, seller, landlord, tenant, developer, promoter, financial institution, documentation, title verification, approvals, financing, legal issues or other circumstances beyond the control of Baveja Properties And Associates.
Where Baveja Properties And Associates has received an amount on behalf of a customer and is responsible for returning that particular amount, the refund will be handled according to the applicable agreement and transaction terms.
Where the amount has been paid directly to another party, the customer may need to seek the refund directly from that party, subject to the applicable agreement and law.
8. Non-Refundable Expenses
Certain expenses may not be refundable where they have already been incurred or paid to third parties, including where applicable:
- Government charges
- Registration charges
- Stamp duty
- Documentation charges
- Legal or professional fees
- Property inspection expenses
- Administrative charges
- Third-party service charges
- Bank or financial institution charges
- Taxes or statutory charges
The applicability of such charges will depend on the particular transaction and applicable law.
9. Refund Processing
Where a refund is approved and Baveja Properties And Associates is responsible for processing the refund, the customer may be required to provide appropriate payment and transaction details.
Refunds will ordinarily be made through the original or an appropriate verified payment method, subject to applicable banking procedures.
The processing time may depend on:
- Verification of the cancellation request
- The applicable agreement
- Confirmation from the relevant property party
- Completion of documentation
- Bank/payment processing time

Nothing in this policy is intended to restrict any statutory rights available to a customer under applicable law.
12. RERA Compliance
For transactions involving projects or promoters regulated under RERA, the applicable provisions of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, Rajasthan RERA Rules and applicable orders, regulations and agreements will prevail where applicable.
