They’re charging us Rs.1,80,000 for 3 AC outlets, which weren’t mentioned in our initial agreement. What should we do?

This additional charge is likely illegal. The builder cannot charge for amenities not mentioned in the initial agreement or the approved building plan. You should refuse to pay and consult a lawyer to understand your legal recourse and negotiate with the builder.
