The Supreme Court has directed the CBI to register and conduct multiple preliminary inquiries into an alleged “builder-bank nexus”, based on a plea filed by a large number of homebuyers who claimed they were forced to pay EMIs despite not receiving possession of their flats due to delays by developers.

A bench of Justices Surya Kant and N. Kotiswar Singh ordered the CBI to conduct preliminary inquiries in relation to the projects launched by M/s Supertech Limited in the Delhi NCR region and to conduct the same over projects by other builders outside the Delhi NCR region.

Issues were also raised by homebuyers regarding the subvention scheme, under which banks sanction loans to homebuyers, but the EMIs against those loans are to be paid by the builders as per a tripartite agreement. However, when builders defaulted on these payments, banks initiated recovery proceedings against the homebuyers, the homebuyers have alleged.
