Yes — through two routes: (1) UP RERA Complaint — fastest; builder must refund with 10.75% interest or hand over possession; (2) Consumer Court — compensation for deficiency and mental harassment. Both can be filed simultaneously. Criminal complaint under IPC 420 (cheating) is also an option for fraudulent builders. Do not wait — approach a lawyer immediately; delays can weaken your case.
