Delayed Possession

if you had agreement with the builder and the builder is violating the terms of agreement by extending the time for finishing construct5ion, then it is deficiency in service. You can approach Consumer Forum

What do you mean by 1.6 years -

Aravinthan, he might be saying one year and 6 months.

pls read the terms of the contract and act accordingly.

u have both civil court remedy and consumer court remedy....consumer court remedy will be a bit quicker.

As told by my Lerned friends you should go according the terms and conditions of your agreement with the builder i.e. Builder Buyer Agreement or Allotment Letter. Tthere will be a clause of penalty for delay in possession on the part of builder, you should contact to the builder for clarification to the builder, if they doesn't reply properly you can approach Consumer court or Civil Court to save your interest.

dears sirs,

i really agree with all scollers that going through the terms and conditions of the agrement are of atmost important.

the agrived person can seek remedy to the consumer forum as there is a deficiency in service.

further it is to be noted that the flat purchaser can initiate criminal proceedings under sec 4 and others of Maharashtra Ownership of Flats Act.

further if the builder is not undertaking the comstruction work then one has to file a civil suit for specific perfomance.

Be patient . dont take legal course right now . contact the other custmers of your building. discuss the matter . all of you might be sailing in same boat   together  all of you take the action.

Hello ALl,

Thanks for the advice, yesterday the builder called to tell that I will get the possession next month, now the thing is that I have to pay him 10% money, can i delay like he has delayed the possession.

If i take any legal action how long it will take and what will happen?
1) Will i get the possession now or will I have to wait for the court orders?
