The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 - The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 - The Consumer Protection Act, 1986

The RERA is to be read harmoniously with the Code, as amended by the Amendment Act. It is only in the event of conflict that the Code will prevail over the RERA. Remedies that are given to allottees of flats/apartments are therefore concurrent remedies, such allottees of flats/apartments being in a position to avail of remedies under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, RERA as well as the triggering of the Code.

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 - Section 5 (8) (f) - “Financial Debt” - Meaning of.

Section 5(8)(f) as it originally appeared in the Code being a residuary provision, always subsumed within it allottees of flats / apartments. The explanation together with the deeming fiction added by the Amendment Act is only clarificatory of this position in law.
