The Supreme Court in the matter of Unitech has held that a property developer cannot delay the grant of possession of flats to the buyers beyond the tenure of contract. In case the builder delays the possession, the builders are entitled to refund. The court has directed Unitech Residential resorts to refund the principal amount to the tune of Rs.17 crores to 39 allottees who were denied possession of their flats within stipulated time. 

Since the possession of your flat is delayed, you are entitled to compensation but it is advisable to first consult a lawyer and send a legal notice. Sending a legal notice covering all the technicalities will enable the course of your case.
