NEW DELHI: Supreme Court has sought details of delayed housing projects in NCR where homebuyers, who took loans under subvention plan to fund their dream homes, are being harassed by financial institutions because of developers not completing the project and also for not paying EMI to banks as per the agreement.
Under the subvention scheme, banks disburse the sanctioned amount directly to the accounts of the builders, who were then to pay EMIs on the sanctioned loan amount, until possession of the flats are handed over to the homebuyers. As builders started defaulting in paying the EMIs to the banks as per the Tripartite Agreement, the banks initiated action against the buyers to recover the EMIs instead.
As hundreds of homebuyers approached the court against banks for taking coercive action against them for default of builders in paying EMIs, a bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan decided to take a comprehensive look at the problem to explore ways to resolve the issue. The bench sought all details regarding payment made by builders and buyers to the banks, status of the project and the proceedings going on against default builders in different forums including under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). The bench directed petitioner homebuyers, builders and banks to furnish these information regarding
different projects--
(i) The status and details of payments made by builders to banks or payments by the home-buyers to banks/ builders,
(ii) The date of offering possession where the project is stated to have been completed,
(iii) The current status of completion of the project
(iv) The status of recovery from the home-buyers,
(v) The amenities advertised by the builders at the time of launching projects and the status re: completion thereof,
(vi) The status as to whether the builder-cum developers has undergone CIRP (under IBC) or any other coercive or non-coercive recovery procedure, and the stage of such proceedings,
(vii) Whether the home-buyers received any relief from the statutory authorities like Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA). If so, the details of such orders be also furnished.
