EHello everyone,
I am seeking legal advice regarding a property purchase and subsequent delays in possession.
I booked a flat in August 2024 and paid the booking amount. The builder assured possession by December 2024, which was also mentioned in the sale agreement. However, despite multiple assurances, the possession has been delayed several times: first to Dussehra then Diwali then new year then February 2025, then to Gudi Padwa in March 2025, and as of now, the possession is still pending with no clear timeline.
Additionally, my family have been living in a rented apartment. I have requested the builder to compensate for the rent from January to April 2025, but they have refused to provide any compensation.
As of now have paid the entire amount 10% of loan amount if pending from bank and 2 years maintanence is pending for which I have given cheque dated 14 jan 2025 which will expire on 14 Apr
The project is rera registered.
Could anyone provide guidance on the following:
1. What legal steps can I take against the builder for the delayed possession?
2. Am I entitled to compensation for the rent paid during this period?
3. Any suggestions on how to draft a formal notice to the builder?
I appreciate any advice or insights from those experienced in property law in India. Thank you!

SIf it’s not in your construction contract, then no. Your contract doesn’t look like it has penalties for non compliance.
