later he said he face loss so i increased one more room 10*10 = 200 sft for 2.5 lakhs.
After receiving this amount, contractor was not reachable/picking calls.
After few days, when i got him on his mobile, he says he has lost money & working with lot of delays and discontinuty & has also shifted his office at last traced the residence visited and requested 5 times and then started work for sometime.
Now remaining 4Lakhs work is pending at site, i have a recent written saying only pending work is 2.5Lakhs from him saying and he mentioned he said will finsih by 5/7/2022 balance mentioned as 1 lakh with this sign
