Builder delayed the possession - still very very slow work
Hello,
I have booked flat in Pune on Aug,2012 and agreement is done in Oct,2012. While booking they mentioned that the possession will be given in May,2014 (nothing such mentioned in agreement). Agreement has 24 months period mentioned for giving possession from agreement date which is over in last October (Oct,2014). I have paid 95% of amount so far. Last instalment is remaining which is mentioned after possession as per agreement.
We have raised some questions in a group now such as Possession Date, Reimbursement for delay etc. Builder is still saying that it will take 8 more months to give possession.
We have set one meeting with builder (we are in group of 4-5 flat owners). He may say same thing like no penalty, possession in 8 months (not guaranteed), several excuses for delay etc.
Can you please advice me what can I do in this case? What should be our stand for the discussion with builder in meeting?
Thanks

Thanks for earlier replies.
We had a meeting with builder last week.
Builder said that there are problems with Environment Clearance. The waiting number is 71 and it would take around 6-8 months to get clearance.
Our agreement has the clause where builder mentioned that if the delay happens due to the government clearances then he is not responsible for it.
Most of the people are saying going legal way will be a problem for us.
Building is almost ready with one lift working. Work for other lift is just started. Not sure if they have applied for FIRE and LIFT NOCs.
Can i discuss with builder to give possession and he can continue the all NOC related work? Will it be good idea to propose this as this would be a illegal occupancy?
I do see any options and choices? Builder had added almost all clauses in his favour (as per friends lawyer) and we cannot do anything.
Please provide your feedback on this. Eagarly waiting.
Thank you
