Received possession in year 2022 for a 2bhk flat in Siddharth Vihar Ghaziabad by Apex Builder at the Apex The Kremlin Apartments, since then the builder is delaying registration of flats and telling that the registration will start soon. Is there any legal procedure to resolve this issue?

You should take multiple steps in parallel to build pressure on the builder:

1. Start by checking if you have an Agreement to Sell. If you do, and the builder is refusing or delaying registration, you can file a civil suit for specific performance to compel them to complete the sale.
2. At the same time, file a complaint before UP-RERA. Registration is part of the builder’s statutory obligation once possession is given, and the Real Estate Act allows you to seek redress for such delays.
3. You should also approach the Consumer Forum. The delay amounts to deficiency in service and can be challenged separately under consumer protection law.
4. File an RTI with the Ghaziabad Development Authority to check if there are pending dues or clearance issues that are preventing registration. This helps you independently verify the builder’s claims.

If other flat owners are in the same situation, move together. A group effort across these forums can increase the pressure and lead to quicker resolution.

For RTI, how to know which Public Information Officer to select while filing online RTI request?

That would depend on the zone in which your building is located.
