Hello,

1) Since the builder has not fulfilled his part of the contract/Agreement he cannot hold you legally liable for the demand of refund.

2) send the builder a legal notice along with a letter of cancellation of the Agreement demanding immediate refund of the amount advanced. While there is no standard rate of interest prescribed in law, you can demand an interest if 18% .

3) If the builder comes ahead with a compromise settle the matter as a suit in the court for recovery will take long and will involve legal costs

Hi, you have to file a complaint under Consumer Protection Act for deficiency of services, before filling a complaint you have to issue a legal notice.

3. You are not liable to pay cancellation charges if the agreement is cancelled due to the failure of the builder to deliver the possession within the promised time.

4. If builder does not refund the advance amount then file a lawsuit against him to recover the advance and also compensation.

The recitals of the sale agreement is to be referred for knowing the exact clauses that define the cancellation, penalty for cancellation, delay in construction/completion, amount and rate of penal interest to be paid by the builder for such delays etc.

You may peruse the sale agreement once again fully and note the clauses in this regard.

However, you have an option to approach this issue legally by first issuing notice to the builder informing him that due to his inordinate delay in completing the construction and as you dont find the completion in any near future owing to the prevalent circumstances, you would like to cancel the booking due to the fault of the builder who breached the condition to complete the construction violating the clause contained in terms of the registered sale agreement and after that if you do not get a proper response or getting an adverse reply, you can approach the consumer forum to redress your grievances against the builder.

1. You have not mentioned as to what was he payment terms. Was the 2nd payment to be made after completion of certain work? Has it been mentioned in the booking agreement or brochure that after receiving the 1st payment they will complete certain work after which they will ask for further payment?
