Hello there! I have read your problem and my suggestion would be if: 1) if the tax and plus the penalty was supposed to be paid by the builder, and he's not ready to pay the same, the society can file a civil suit against him for recovery of such amount payable. 2) even if you plan and sell your particular flat, still the past encumbrances on the flat is your liability. Hence selling the flat is not the solution.
