REFUND OF MONEY PAID FOR BOOKING FLAT

Vijay Kumar (Querist) 11 October 2017 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir, I had booked a flat at Andheri in 2015, with a reputed builder ACME in a prime project ACME BOULEVARD comprising of six towers. I booked a 3 BHK flat in the proposed tower NO. 6 for which building work was yet to commence. I made 40% payment for that at that time. I paid money by cheque to the builder and also deposited TDS online. Builder issued me allotment letter and payment receipts. Builder has still not commenced the work for the same tower and is blaming market situations and asking me to shift to another tower. I don't want to shift to another tower and instead want my money back. Builder is saying he cannot return the money immediately and asking me to wait for one year or so to get the money back. He will pay in instalments. What should I do to recover the money with interest?

When the possession was to be handed over according to builder buyer agreement?

Dear Sir, the builder had issued only the allotment letter and possession date is not mentioned. Tower no. 6 (where the flat is booked) in the Project is not yet registered in RERA.
