- To see that that Orbit Corporation Limited, a company which was under-going liquidation and the carving of the Project had to be done keeping in mind the provisions of SARFAESI, the MOFA 1963 and RERA 2016.
- The other challenges faced by flat purchasers was to coordinate and negotiate with Banks for the settlement and carving out the Project.
- The Banks and flat purchasers were also mindful of the said mortgaged Project to be sold to the society of the Project by way of sale/ transfer by Private Treaty as envisaged by the Securitisation and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Securities Interest Act, 2002.
Going forward:
