Reading: Our society’s redevelopment project faced delays, and now the builder has changed the plan without our consent, increasing the carpet area and altering the flat’s location. We’ve already paid 20% based on the initial super built-up area. Should we pay for this increased carpet area, especially considering the location change? The builder cites DCR 1991 amendments and new regulations as reasons. Can we seek compensation from the builder for the location change, as it was agreed upon earlier?

Indian law protects your rights as a buyer in such a scenario. The builder cannot unilaterally change the plan without your consent, especially if it significantly alters the agreed-upon carpet area and location. You have grounds to challenge the changes and demand compensation for the location change, especially if the agreed-upon location was a crucial factor in your purchase decision.
