I booked a flat in Panvel in March 2013, measuring around 320 square feet for ₹12 lakhs. The sale agreement was signed on February 22, 2014, and registered in the Panvel registrar office. However, the agreement doesn’t specify a possession date. The builder has completed 80% of the construction and then stopped. I have already paid ₹10 lakhs, which is 80% of the total amount. The builder is delaying possession. Can I approach the consumer court to order the builder to complete the project within a reasonable timeframe? What are my options?

Yes, you can approach the consumer court to seek an order compelling the builder to complete the project within a reasonable timeframe. You can also seek compensation for the delay and for the amount you have already paid. You have the option to file a complaint under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

I booked a 3 BHK flat in Noida Extension back in June 2010 for 25 lakhs. I made a payment of 7 lakhs in June 2011. The builder hasn’t started construction of Tower 18 yet, even though it was supposed to begin in 2013. Now they’re sending demand letters. When I asked why they’re asking for more money despite not starting construction as per the payment plan, they said they have the right to send these letters. They kept sending demands and eventually issued a legal notice, canceling my flat in March 2013. I haven’t received my 7 lakh payment back. What legal options do I have?
