The delay is calculated from the date when the builder promised to give the possession to you.

You may get in touch if a case if State Consumer Forum has to be filed.

The period of limitation would be calculated from the date of possession, but in your case the cause of action continuous to accrue if you had made any sort of representation to the builder regarding this issue.

Delay, if any can be condoned by the court in such cases when an appropriate application under section 5 of the Limitations Act is filed with the complaint.

If possession is not delivered on time, a purchaser can send a notice to the builder, claiming the refund of the amounts paid along with interest and/or damages. “The buyer can also file a consumer complaint for ‘deficiency in service’ as defined under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 against the builder

In consumer cases, the cause of action is usually continuing. You may refer to the following article:

And the court usually condones the delay if any.

Date of registration shall be taken for consideration and not possession;

The possession may be before or after registration.

You will become owner only after the property is registered on your name.
