You can take him to consumer court or file a FIR.

You have mentioned builder took advance in April 2006 for handing over constructed flat by October 2008 but did not even start and then assured in writing to hand over by 31.03.2012 while admitting receipt of 95% costs till November 2011.

You have not mentioned when was the last part payment made by you.

But, even after 11 years, the flat has not been completed for offering possession to the investor builder has been maintaining complete silence since 2012 ?

You need to show all correspondence to a lawyer to examine and give a more accurate advise.

possession is not delivered on time, a purchaser can send a notice to the builder, claiming refund of the amounts paid along with interest and/or damages. “The buyer can also file a consumer complaint for ‘deficiency in service’ as defined under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 against the builder,”

This has become a very common problem now a days. You can file a consumer case against the builder asking for the flat or the money along with compensation. You can further file a civil suit for recovery on money or for the specific performance of the contract executed. But first for the start it would be better that you issue a legal notice against the builder putting forth your issues and demands.
