• Delay possession

Sir, i booked my flat in 2012 . Builder was supposed to hand over possession by Dec 16. Still possession not offered. I applied in state consumer forum for refund but due to unprofessionalism of my lawyer i had to withdraw my application with a liberty to file fresh complaint.. My lawyer filed in lower forum but compasstion amount + amount Paid to builder went beyond the limits of forum..Laywer didnot added compassion amount to actual amount paid. Hence i got de motivation and didnot filed in higher forum...now after one year of patience my tower in at nearing possession but total project is far from completion.... Now Can builder offer tower wise possession? Or should i file in higher forum again or wait to take possession ?

A delay of 6-12 months is quite common, but anything beyond that is a cause for concern, and may cause financial loss to you. In this case of considerable delay, you should file a consumer complaint for 'deficiency in service' as defined under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 against the builder.

Hello,

 

Now you may also file the case before RERA, and you will get the relief easily and early. 

Get in touch with a local lawyer and file a complaint before RERA at the earliest. 

You have a strong case.

Also, you may your self fight the case before RERA, if you do not wish to engage an advocate.

What's the status of your complaint filed in the District Forum?

If the same is pending, you have the option of withdrawing the same and approaching RERA.

I will advise you to re-tender a legal notice to the builder and thereafter approach RERA.

Its on you if you want to wait and get possession still you can file against the builder for delay in possession after getting possession. If not you can still file in appropriate forum without talking the possession.

The builder can very well handover tower wise possession also.

You may wait if you see some ray of hopes, if not since you already have permission, may approach consumer forum once again for relief and remedy.
