My family and I booked a flat in the Ekdant FNG project in Surajpur, Greater Noida, back in July 2012. We opted for a flexible payment plan and have paid almost the entire amount, except for a small portion of the additional charges. Now, the builder has stopped construction and is selling the construction materials and machinery on-site to settle debts with creditors. He clearly has no intention of finishing the project. The project was originally planned with five towers, each with 14 floors, but the builder has illegally increased the height of Tower A and B to 24 floors without consulting us. He even told the contractor to sell off the remaining materials on-site. I am left with no funds to pay the remaining amount. What legal options do I have? Which court should I approach?

You can file a consumer complaint against the builder in the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) or the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (SCDRC) in Uttar Pradesh, seeking compensation for the loss suffered due to the builder’s breach of contract and illegal construction. You can also file a civil suit in the relevant district court in Greater Noida, seeking a refund of the amount paid and damages for the builder’s illegal activities.

Our builder delayed our flats for 6 years and we filed two cases in the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC). While one was up for hearing, the other was filed in August 2015. We were five buyers initially, representing over a thousand buyers for this project. Despite our pleas, the court dismissed both cases and asked us to seek approval from the Commission under Section 12(1)(c) of the Consumer Protection Act (CPA), citing a ruling from September 2016. Only four flats have been delivered, and we lack the list of other buyers. How can we proceed with this application representing all the affected homeowners?

My belongings got severely damaged during a move by a packer and mover company. They’re now offering only 70% of the declared value as a refund, which wasn’t mentioned in their agreement or during booking. Is there any legal recourse for me to get the full amount? It’s not a large sum (around Rs. 11,000), but I’d like to fight for my hard-earned money and hold them accountable for their poor service.

I invested in the Homested Sohna Sector 215 project about two years ago. The project was soft launched, and I paid ₹9.5 lakhs for a 2 BHK apartment. However, the project hasn’t officially launched yet. Homested says they will refund my money without interest and provide a post-dated check four months after submitting my refund application. This means I’ll have to wait another six months to get my money back. Is it possible for me to get my money refunded with interest? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Can you tell me the difference between a consumer court and a consumer forum? I’m planning to file a case in a consumer court. What are the steps involved in filing a case? Do I need to pay any fees to file the case? And how often will I need to go to court after filing?
