1. In India it is most unadvisable to purchase under construction properties as the builders are dishonest and corrupt. Be that as it may, the builder is bound ti deliver the possession or refund the advance paid to him. The failure to deliver the possession on his part can be remedied by the buyer by filing a complaint case against him in the consumer forum to seek the possession or refund with compensation as this falls within the sweep of 'deficiency in service'.

2. Until the builder obtains occupancy certificate the building cannot be occupied.

3. The builder continues to be liable to complete the pending works.
