My wife and I jointly own four agreements for separate units in a single commercial tower, getting a 10% discount for the entire vertical unit. We secured a single loan for all four units. The project was delayed by 6 years beyond the promised completion date. The case is currently in the evidence stage at the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC). Could the builder successfully argue that I’m not a ‘consumer’ because I have four separate agreements, despite receiving a discount for the entire vertical unit, making payments as a single entity, and taking a single loan?

In this case, the builder’s argument that you are not a ‘consumer’ due to four separate agreements may not succeed. The discount for the entire vertical unit, single loan payment, and unified purpose of acquiring the units indicate a singular transaction, making you a consumer under Indian law.
