You have to check first how much work has been completed by builder till May 2020 and against how much payment you have made it. 

You can make complaint in the RERA and consumer forum as well regarding the delay of the builder's work. Plus if you're paying EMI's then ask compensation from builder for monetary like Interest.

Whether go wit lawyer for last long that depends upon much project is completed and how much amount you had made it .. need to know the case facts.

COVID-19 pandemic situation has put on hold all projects, work,plan,construction, development and research except control on disease prevention and vaccination to cure the draconian CORONA Virus. 

As matter of legal rights, Please issue legal notice to Builder for compliance of RERA and complete the project within time frame as promised failing which proceedings before RERA authority for the REDRESSAL of grievances as has arisen due to whatsoever reason and ground. 

If there is delay in completion even beyond the grace period then you have two options- I. To cancel the agreement and seek full refund with interest or ii  to wait for completion and then seek damages for the delay. 

So you can contact to send legal notice of your choice on default of which further legal recourse can be taken before the consumer forum. 

You can engage any lawyer from this website for issue of legal notice to builder for delay in completion of project 

2) you are entitled for compensation for delay in delivery of possession 

The builder cannot take the plea that he couldn't continue with construction activities during the lock down; since in-situ construction activities were permitted by the Govt. even during the lock down.

Fit case to approach RERA and seek benefit of delayed interest/refund, as per your plan.

Better you send the builder a legal notice before approaching RERA with a complaint against him. 

 1. See after complition from builders side Occupancy certificate from authority is required. Once OC is their than only agree for registration also for delay you may file before the RERA authority seeking compensation. 

Serve them with a legal notice and than file a complaint against the builder in the consumer court 

You have three options in such cases where builder is delaying project indefinitely. One can be to file a case before consumer forum, second can be to approach RERA and third is approaching NCLT and proceeding against the builder under the insolvency and bankruptcy code.

Now RERA is a dedicated tribunal for real estate matters when passing order it will probably either order refund of money along with interest (usually 10% of current value) or it may grant monthly interest until delivery of possession.

But consumer forum is also a good option and it usually pases an order to give possession and also grants a lumpsum compensation for delay in delivery and for mental and physical hardship suffered. 

NCLT is mainly for building pressure of insolvency so that the builder offers a lucrative settlement offer.

All are good options but as I said RERA is a dedicated tribunal so it's better to approach it.

Every lawyer having experience of RERA tribunal can send a legal notice as well as explain consequences but in nutshell consequences are those as stated above.

1. You have an positive option to file a grievance petition against the Builder /Developer, in the local Consumer Court, for their illegal trade practice, negligence, deficiency, harassment, intimidation, cheating etc.... with proper documentary evidences and you can claim damages /compensation & interest on your investment, and for your physical & mental trauma.

2. However note that the entire Govt. announced lockdown period shall be legally exempted, by legal default, for Builder's delay and all such delay by builder shall be legally condoned off.

3. You are advised to hold on, till govt. announced lockdown period is totally lifted and only then think of any legal action.

-  As per the RERA Act, if the builder is delaying in construction & delay in possession , then the builder will have to pay 10% interest on the value of the property for delayed possession of flats.

- Hence , if builder fails to delivers the possession of the flat to you on time , then you can cancel the agreement due to his fault and you are liable to get full refund of paid amount with 10 percent interest. 

- Further, if you get the possession of the said flat lately , then also you can claim 10% compensation from the builder. 

- However, you should send a notice to the builder , and can select any lawyer including me from this website for sending the legal notice to the builder. 

Actual date of delivery was NOV 2019, so builder is at default from dec 2019 only and cannot take benefits of moratorium granted by govt. You are entitle to interest/compensation on delayed possession. Send legal notice for payment of interest till possession deliver or full refund with interest. 

If demand not complied by builder than complain to RERA and consumer court.

A legal notice must be sent first to the builder and then a complaint against the builder must be filed in the RERA tribunal. The tribunal decides the case expeditiously.

The builder is liable to pay interest at the agreed rate for the period of delay till such time he delivers possession of the property. 

You don't have to engage the services of an advocate so soon. 

If at all there's an unlimited delay you can either cancel the agreement or issue a legal notice demanding possession of property by fixing up a time stipulated therein in the legal notice. 

Yes its better you appoint a lawyer and proceed

1. Serve a lawyer's notice to the builder seeking refund of the amount with compensation.

2. If the builder does not meet your demand within the period given in the legal notice then sue him in RERA.

3. You must go with a lawyer.

Yes it would be good if you could contact a lawyer along with the documents pertaining to this project and seek instructions to move forward. Without looking into the documents any advice given here would only be illustrative. 

the builder is liable to deliver the possession of a flat within the limit prescribed in the advertisement or in the builders agreement. If the same is not done a complaint can be filed against the builder in the consumer forums which can ensure timely delivery of the flat and also provide compensation to the consumers for the delay in possession.

A customer can claim cancellation of flat with full refund of advance paid with interest in case of delay in project.

Builder have to face more cancellations in case of delay in possession date. 

Builder need to get completion certificate and occupancy certificate from local authorities before he can offer legal possession of flats.
