It is not compulsory for your wife to jointly sign with you to obtain possession. One co-owner is entitled to obtain possession on behalf of the other.
If you have all the proof (documents, bank entries) that you have paid the amounts for the flat then certainly you can claim the flat as your own. If your wife disputes your rights, you can file a suit for declaration to declare the flat in question has been purchased out of your funds and you wife has no share in it and get a declaration that you are the owner of the flat.

Builder is not a court so he can demand the joint possession as per letter of allotment. It hardly matters who is paying the installments.

I agree with Mr.Makkad
As per records your wife remains co-owner. Nothing wrong on the part of the builder to ask your wife's signature.
Further she is entitled to half share in the property and she can ask for it.
