Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

Hi

I recently bought a 1 bhk flat. While negotiating with the marketing personnel, I told him to add some extra things in the house like a extra wash basin and so on before the possession is given, at no extra cost. At that time the builder agreed and gave me in written that it will be done ( though nothing extra will be charged from me was not mentioned).. Now as the possession time is coming near, he has taken a U turn by saying that they never said that it will be done free of cost and no where in the written document have they mentioned that extra things i have asked for will be included in the cost of agreement. The written thing which they gave me just mentions that all the extra things will be done but does not mention who will pay for it. Now how do I force the builder officials to stick to what was said as I dont want to pay anything because intitially it was said the builder will not charge me anything for it,

Also the executives have started talking in a very rude manner after they have realised that my loan has been sanctioned. Can I do anything about their behaviour in a legal way.

Dear Sir / Madam,

Since there is nothing in writing as to who bears the cost of the extra fittings or amenities, it remains open to interpretation. Anything discussed and agreed verbally without being subsequently backed in writing is meaningless and cannot be enforced in the eyes of law. In my view, raking up issues with the Builder over petty matters at this juncture is neither advisable nor recommended.

Regards,
