I had booked a flat of SBA 1604 sq ft. The Room dimension was 13’6*11 but the builder has now changed it to 13*11 without my consent. It’s q deal breaker for me. How can I legally take action against him ? The Agreement doesn’t talk about each room dimensions it has informaion about SBA and undivide share ?

If I reach out RERA they’ll hold him accountable?

*Hey, Practicing High Court lawyer here!*

If the room dimensions were shown in the brochure/floor plan at booking (13’6″ x 11′) and now reduced to 13′ x 11′ without your consent, it can amount to deficiency in service and misrepresentation under RERA and Consumer Protection Act.

Even if the agreement only mentions SBA and UDS, builders are legally bound to deliver what was promised in marketing materials/floor plans shown at booking stage.

Here’s what you can do:

1. File a complaint with RERA in your state — for deviation from promised specs.
2. Send a legal notice demanding rectification or cancellation with full refund + interest.
3. File consumer complaint if RERA route doesn’t work.

Minor design changes may be allowed, but room size reductions without consent are not.
