Buyers say that RERA orders are not getting implemented and this is forcing them to approach NCLT and there is a need to check abuse and maximize the value of assets.

If a homebuyer failed to file his/her case then will his/her case will not be taken and his grievances won’t be solved? The answer to this question is “NO”! The reason here is that the limitation period in the case of a homebuyer is continuous in view of the non-handing over of the possession of the unit.

The allottees are left helpless when the developers stands either insolvent or incapable of delivering the possession even after passage of years beyond the date of delivery.

Creditors who fails to the submit the claims with proof within 14 days can submit their claims within 90 days from the Insolvency Commencement date as per the amendment of Regulation 12(2).

whereas legislation like RERA provides for individual remedies against the Builder, the IBC Code gives collective control over the affairs and management of the Corporate Debtor to its financial creditors.

NCLT and RERA have different functioning and approach to tackle cases of homebuyers, often homebuyers are confused on which remedy to choose.

A tug of war going on between the companies involved in the real estate sector and the homebuyers since the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) came in force in 2016

The homebuyers who have got RERA refund orders and if builder has defaulted in making the payment, you can file case before NCLT under IBC laws

If there is no assured return plan incorporated into the builder buyer agreement entered into between the homebuyer and builder then the homebuyer had to approach RERA to seek refund.

Homebuyers who have been assured of committed returns from the developer could trigger IBC as a financial creditor under section 7 whereas all the homebuyers have been granted the right to represent themselves as a participant of the committee of creditors.
