- As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you have been cheated by the builder.
- Now, if you move the RERA, then you won’t be having any limitation there with respect to time.
- But, if move to court of Civil law then you may have to see the last time when you intimated the builder about the possession or cancellation of the agreement. It should be within the span period of three years as per limitation act.
Please file RERA complaint immediately and claim interest and penalty for delay in handover of possession
you can claim compensation for delay possession from your builder by issuing a legal notice and if they have failed to do the same, you have to approach consumer forum for the same.
You can also file civil suit for recovery of money and claim refund of money along with interest.
