It is very complex legal and technical situation in your matter.

No Advocate will be in position to advise you without looking and reading all the documents.

As it is very sensitive and relate to your already paid money and the flat yet to be handed over to you hence please take appropriate advise before taking any step.

Based on Terms and condition lender can give no objection certificate to the builder. Hence as provided in real estate regulation act passed in 2016 consumer need to pay the amount in the escrow account.

Firstly write a letter to the lender seeking information on the escrow account by and between him and the builder. After confirming the same you can further inquire with the lender of any second lien on the said property.
