Hi Aquib,
Before taking any legal action, check you agreement whether there is any clause mentioned for compensation on delay possession and secondly, interest on service tax. If it is mentioned then consult a good legal expert and follow what he says.

Hi Aquib,
Service tax is applicable on under-construction flats Since the flats are under construction, there is an element of 'construction service' in the agreement between builder/developer and purchaser. Hence, it attracts service tax. .

While service tax is charged at 12.36%, in case of under construction flats, the effective rate works out to 3.09% of the value of property. This is because service tax is not applicable on the entire purchase price.
