Legal Representation for Homebuyers in Supreme Court and RERA
I am Anshul Gupta, Advocate on Record at the Supreme Court. My team and I fight for homebuyers trapped in stuck projects, unfair subvention schemes, and bank disputes, ensuring the law works for you.
In this NDTV interview, I explain how the Supreme Court is providing major relief to homebuyers trapped in schemes where builders and banks have not fulfilled their obligations. This is a significant win for those who have invested their hard-earned money and are now facing legal action from banks for EMIs on incomplete projects.
Many homebuyers get stuck in subvention or '80-20' schemes. I break down how these schemes work, where builders and banks collude, and what legal steps you can take when the builder stops paying the pre-EMI, leaving you liable for a loan on a project that isn't even built.
Is your project possession delayed for years? You don't have to wait forever. I discuss a case where we helped homebuyers get a full refund with 9% interest from a builder who delayed a project for over a decade, based on the legal principle of a 'continuing cause of action'.
A common question I get is whether to file a case in RERA or the Consumer Court. The answer is, you can often do both. I explain the Supreme Court judgment that clarifies your right to pursue remedies in both forums simultaneously to maximize pressure on the builder.

This newspaper article highlights a significant interim order we secured from the Delhi High Court. The court restrained banks from taking coercive action against homebuyers for EMIs in stuck real estate projects, providing a much needed breather for families who were being penalized despite not being at fault.
A builder cannot force you to take possession of a flat without providing essential documents like the Completion Certificate or a Fire Fighting NOC. I discuss a Supreme Court judgment that empowers homebuyers to claim a full refund, including stamp duty charges, if these critical clearances are missing.
Before you buy a property, it is crucial to conduct proper legal checks. I outline the essential things you must verify, from title deeds and government approvals to hidden costs in the builder-buyer agreement. A little due diligence can save you from years of trouble.
About Featured
When your builder and bank are working against you, relying on standard advice isn't enough. I help you navigate the system by simultaneously approaching both RERA and Consumer Courts to keep maximum pressure on the builder. Whether it is challenging subvention schemes or securing a refund for possession delays, my approach focuses on enforcing real-world outcomes rather than just filing paperwork.
Navigating real estate law in India requires more than just filing a complaint. You are often up against builders and banks that are, as we have seen in court, hand-in-glove. My practice as an Advocate on Record at the Supreme Court is rooted in the practical reality that you, the homebuyer, have limited time and resources.
Why my approach is different
Most lawyers will tell you to wait. I tell you to act. We look for the 'continuing cause of action' to bypass limitation periods, and we do not limit ourselves to one forum. If you have been waiting years for possession, you are entitled to a full refund with interest, and I fight to make sure you get it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I go to RERA or Consumer Court? You can often approach both. RERA is specific to real estate, but the Consumer Protection Act provides additional remedies that are not in derogation of RERA. I help you evaluate which forum offers the faster path to recovery based on your project status.
What if the builder is insolvent? If a developer is facing insolvency proceedings, the strategy changes. We then shift our focus to securing your position as a financial creditor or ensuring that court orders regarding refunds are executed before assets disappear.
Do you handle Supreme Court appeals? Yes. As an Advocate on Record, I handle high-stakes Special Leave Petitions and appeals, particularly when banks initiate coercive actions against homebuyers for incomplete projects. We do not just represent you; we provide the strategy to hold both the builder and the bank accountable.
