Telecom companies in India cannot legally threaten you with rumors or impose unreasonable fines for overdue bills. You can file a complaint with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and the Consumer Forum, and also seek legal advice on challenging their actions.

A builder promised an 18-floor apartment complex in India. Three months before completion, they suddenly announced a 22-floor building, delaying the project by 18 months. The buyer’s registration costs skyrocketed due to the changes. The agreement included a clause allowing the builder to decrease the undivided land share at their discretion. The delay was blamed on sand shortages, and the builder refused to compensate for the 4 additional floors, offering only 3 rupees per square foot for 9 months of the delay. To accommodate the extra 4 floors, they also reduced amenities like open space, replacing it with car parking for the additional 72 apartments. Can a buyer seek increased compensation in consumer court to cover these additional costs?
