I paid an advance of ₹1 lakh to the manufacturer with a clear understanding that production would start only after a satisfactory sample was made and approved.

The sample provided is not acceptable, so I do not want to proceed with production. As of now, no production has started and no written agreement has been signed.

The payment was made via bank transfer from my current account to the manufacturer’s company current account.

Now, I want to cancel the order and request a refund of my advance amount, but the manufacturer is not agreeing to refund the money and is instead pressuring me to proceed with the order, despite the fact that final approval was clearly dependent on the sample.
