I’ve booked a property in Ahmedabad for around ₹30 lakhs and have already paid ₹25 lakhs. However, the builder is refusing to sign a registered agreement with the SRO, saying I must pay the full amount first. He claims this is because the property is on freehold land. Is this legally acceptable? Can he refuse to provide the agreement? I need clarity on the legal situation and my rights in this matter.

Under Indian law, a builder cannot legally refuse to sign a registered agreement after receiving substantial payment. While freehold land ownership is relevant, it does not justify withholding the agreement. You have a right to a registered agreement and should seek legal advice to protect your interests and ensure the builder complies with legal obligations.
