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.
