Issue a legal notice to the builder instructing him to handover the possession and completion certificate in respect of the properties. You may also demand the penal interest for delay in handing over the possession at the rate of penal interest fixed earlier through the sale agreement. This will certainly invoke some response from the builder. If there is no response nor any action taken by him, you may file a consumer complaint case against the builder seeking remedy and also compensation for the deficiency of service.
