Builder asking for consent letter before possession letter

Same happened in my case.At our small building ,builder afterwards transformed security staff room to a small flat and given "gift" to a relative of local ruling party leader .And after 5 year,that person is above the society .3 police complaint had lodged against him,from different flatowner.

unless and until you are fully satisfied about the points mentioned by the builder you neednot sign and he cant force you on the issue any further.

look into the terms stated by the builder regarding the time frame for handing over the posession and if you could findout any discrepancy you can take up the matter to the consumer forum

Appointing individual lawyer may be not economical and advisable.  Go with Majority opinion by forming a group of like minded persons.

Can we form a society without possession letters.

As the builder in  agreement mentioned that for first one year he would be collecting maintenance and would be running the society. 

So, the question comes in can we form a society.

It is usual practice, as members are many and do not know each other.

But a society can be formed even without taking occupation mentioning such period and bye laws may be laid down stating objective of such society to function till elected and regular society is formed after builder hands over maintenance.

You need an advocate to guide you further in the issue.

It may not be called as Society, you may term it as Committee or Association and even Registration may not be compulsory.

This is unfair trade practices adopted by your builder, you can move to the consumer court.  Getting possession after all payments is your fundamental right and builder cannot impose unreasonable clauses before giving possession
