Dear Client,
First, you go through the terms of the BBA and if there exists any stipulation with regard to the grace period for handing over the delivery of possession of the constructed flat, then in that case you have to wait for the grace period to take any legal recourse against the defaulted Builder. Be informed that a delay in delivery of possession or failure to hand over the possession of the flat by the agreed date is considered a deficiency in service on the part of the Builder and a buyer deserves compensation from the Builder for such a deficiency. Accordingly, an aggrieved buyer, serving a legal notice to the Builder, can file a complaint against him before the Adjudication Officer, RERA, if the constructed building is a registered project of the RERA seeking appropriate relief in the matter. Alternatively, a complaint over alleged deficiency in service can be filed by the aggrieved buyer against the Builder before the District Consumer Commission or the State Consumer Commission, as the case may be, claiming compensation for delay and harassment. The complaint before the Consumer Commission shall be filed within two years from the date of the cause of action. However, it may be noted that a complaint cannot be filed before the RERA and Consumer Commission at a time for the same cause of action.
