If the builder is unnecessarily harassing you to make the registration then you can go to the Consumer Forum and ask not only for registration of flat but also for compensation.

I agree with Devajyoti.

Try get registration, before you start litigation. , even at cost of paying marginally high.

I do not agree with both the experts. You are 'fool' who has believed upon 'smart' builder and have not got executed any agreement even after paying a huge amount.

I think it is your good luck that he is still admitting you as buyer of flat and shop. You do not miss this chance and pay him service tax (which is mandatory to be paid but its rate is 2.5% and not 2.85%).

You fully cooperate with him so that he may also do needful. Get ensure earliest registration of your property.

yes you have parted with rs 12 lakhs . if buidlder is demanding service tax pay the amount , get agreement registered in your name . consult a local lawyer after registartion .

The oral agreement is as good as an agreement in writing.
I am baffled to think how in absence of an written agreement the buyer may loose the property specially when there are ample proofs of payment of consideration money.

A lot of cases regularly disposed of by the Consumer Forum of this nature solely on the basis of payment receipts.

Else why on earth one person would pay lakhs of rupees to a builder.

I hope to see further comments of the experts who think otherwise.

Agree with Shri Raj Kumar Makkad. But, ask the builder to give you receipt for sales tax.
