Yes, it is possible to file a consumer complaint before the NCDRC individually and there are more possibilities they will take it as a batch matter, for your claim and compensation. There is also a strict guideline given by the Supreme court and citation available in favour of the consumer when there is an inordinate delay in completion of a residential project.

Each aggrieved person has to file individual Petition claiming compensation based on his/ her individual agreement with the promoter. Cause of action is different. Therefore Joint Petition will not lie.

Yes you can file a case joining together before the consumer forum without forming an association.
But you can file the case independently means separately before the district forum because we can have option.
