Builder changed agreement clauses and project delayed what can be done


20-Oct-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
Agreement had 18 floors. 3 months before completion changed to 22 floors. Project delayed by 1.5 years. Cost increased as buyer due to registration cost increase. Agreement has blanket clause of decreasing undivided land share as per builder convenience. Delay attributed to sand and not increasing project by 4 floors and compensation of 3rs per sq ft (for 9 months). Amenities (open space) reduced to accomodate for car parking for additional 4 floor (72 appartment). Can this be tried in consumer court for increased compensation to cover additional cost ?

Once the due date for possession is over , if the buyer feels that delay will be considerable, it would be pointless to wait further, one should immediately file a case
When it comes to deviations from the original project plan, which can result in a shortfall of common amenities or drastic changes to the units themselves, the customer should take action as soon as these deviations come to light.
Get all papers and documents ready—advertisement brochure, booking receipts with payment details, any letter sent by the developer, signed agreement, all payment details, emails exchanged, photographs collected, and others. Avoid verbal communication.
The consumer court will not entertain a complaint after the limitation period of two years is over from the date of cause of action.
