Mr. Roy, Before approaching the consumer forum, I suggest you to do the following things: 1) Write them a mail addressed at their official address to refund money within 15 days, 2) If they fail to reply or refund, serve them a legal notice to refund as you are legally entitled to take a refund and they cannot keep your security, there are few orders that state so , 3) Still if they do not refund your money, we can approach the consumer forum for seeking refund of the money along with compensation for harrasment caused to you. Best,
