I bought a flat in a new development for ₹20 lakhs, including some initial costs. The agreement didn’t specify these charges separately, but the builder promised them orally. I’ve been living there for two years now, but I don’t have a possession letter or a no-dues certificate. Now, with society formation starting, the builder is demanding an additional ₹1.5 lakhs for those initial charges. What should I do?

You can legally refuse to pay the additional ₹1.5 lakhs as the charges were not explicitly mentioned in the agreement. You should demand a breakdown of the charges and seek legal counsel to enforce your rights and obtain possession documents.

I bought a flat under construction in Pune back in 2015, with a promised delivery date of December that year. It’s now years later and I still haven’t received possession. My agreement clearly states a 9% interest payment for any delays. The builder is ignoring my calls and emails. When I finally got through, they said they’ll only pay compensation if I don’t want the flat! This is completely unfair and not in our contract. I want to get my flat and the compensation I’m owed. What legal steps can I take?

My father passed away recently, leaving behind ancestral property that was transferred to his name after our grandmother. His sisters are now claiming a share in this property. They are married and settled, but I am unsure about their rights. What should I do?

I’m planning to buy a DDA flat in Rohini. While checking the documents, I noticed something unusual. The Intimation letter, Allotment Letter, and CD all mention the property address without a specific pocket, or sometimes even mention “Pocket 0.” However, the possession slip shows the flat’s address as “Pocket 4.” I asked DDA about this, and they said it’s not a problem because the file number matches across all documents. They haven’t given me anything in writing about this difference though. Should I be concerned, or is this a minor issue and I can go ahead with the deal?

My father passed away, leaving behind a house for my two brothers, two sisters, and myself. The court awarded me a 25% share, each of my other brothers received 25%, and the remaining 25% went to my father’s share. I bought out one brother’s 25% share and he signed the legal documents transferring his portion to me. However, this brother is still living in the house and refuses to move out. How can I legally claim my 55% share (my 25%, the 25% I purchased, and 5% of my father’s share) of the house?

I bought a two-bedroom flat in a Pune suburb (Undri- Pisoli) in August 2012, with a promised completion by December 2013. Since I planned to resell the flat after completion, I didn’t register it. I’ve made almost 90% of the payments, but the builder hasn’t finished some work like installing a lift and the sewage treatment plant. Some families started moving in from November 2015. Now, due to personal reasons, I want to register the flat and get the agreement. When I asked the builder for the required documents and registration charges, he refused until I pay the remaining balance. Is he right to do this? What should I do? Please advise.
