• Registration delay caused by builder

I purchased a small commercial office space in a building situated in Sector 16, Noida in the year 2012.
The building was given Occupation Certificate in 2015. Since the builder has not cleared full dues of NOIDA authority, they are not able to register the property in our name. Since we do not have clear title, we cannot raise any loan against our unit by offering the same as collateral. Our repeated requests to the builder have not met with any success.
Also circle rates are changing since year 2012. We apprehend that inordinate delay will cause a difference in our allotmet and circle rate. We will have to pay incremental income tax through a deeming provision under the IT Act. 
 Please advise how we can coerce the builder to rgister the property in our name so that we have a clean title.

1. The delay in getting title deed is purely out of deficiency of service in complying with formalities with local authorities.

2. Now if you have made full payment of total consideration money then the builder is liable to make good the loss you have incurred so far.

3. So you have legal right to redress your grievances for which you can file a case before the consumer forum.

4. The consumer forum apart from directing the builder to execute and register a deed of conveyance would compel the developer to pay you enough pecuniary damages and compensation as well for the inordinate delay caused by the builder.

Send a legal notice to the builder calling upon him to forthwith execute the sale deed in your favour.

having already handed over the possession to you, he ought to have executed the sale deed by now.

If the legal notice does not inures any benefit, approach the Consumer Forum and seek a direction against the builder.for immediate execution of SD.

Firstly, give a detail written complain to RERA tribunal.

Secondly, go by the clauses of the agreement.

Thirdly, if nothing is found in your favour then also you can ask the Tribunal to let builder be the one who will bear the all increased expenses.

We can also go to High Court if nothing fruitful come from tribunal.

You can initiate legal steps to get the property registered on your name by filing a suit for specific performance of contract.

You first issue a legal notice to the builder about this and give him 10 days time within which he may be instructed to register the property to your name, failing which you may initiate appropriate legal action agaisnt him either through civil court with a suit as mentioned above or through consumer forum for deficiency in service and compensation and also reliefs for mental agony
