Hello Sir/Madam,
I have purchased under construction flat 2 years back in Satara Maharashtra
I have paid 100% demand then I received flat keys but not yet received possession letter.
But builder issuing me possession letter 6 month back date.
Should I accept this possession letter with 6 month back date after OC issued? Any cons for it?
Is possession letter mandatory if received keys?
Can filing in both consumer court and RARA simultaneously allowed for wrong date of possession letter?
Which one is fastest between consumer court OR RERA to get order?

Did the builder give you a valid reason for the delay? If not, you can file a case in the Consumer Court concerned.

The possession letter acts as a primary piece of evidence that the buyer has taken possession of the property and that the seller has fulfilled their part of the agreement.Â
In case of any future disputes regarding ownership or possession, the possession letter can be used as evidence to establish the buyer's rightful claim to the property.
There is no deficiency in service especially when the possession letter is given as on the dte of handing over the keys/possession of the flat.
If the possession letter itself was not given then only the builder is termed to have committed deficiency in service.
