TL;DR: Supreme Court fixed Dec 5 as the final deadline for Jaypee Infratech buyers to claim refunds or flat allotments; Suraksha Realty must accept claims. Gather documents, file now, and consider legal help—late claims may be extinguished.
What the Supreme Court order means for Jaypee Infratech buyers
The Supreme Court has given homebuyers of Jaypee Infratech a firm deadline of December 5 to either claim refunds or apply for flat allotments. Suraksha Realty Limited, the resolution applicant now implementing the approved plan, has been directed to accept and process all remaining claims within this timeframe. The court made clear there will be no further extensions.
Key dates and legal background
- 2017: Jaypee Infratech entered insolvency, leaving over 20,000 buyers stranded across Noida, Agra and Aligarh.
- March 7, 2023: NCLT approved Suraksha Realty’s resolution plan.
- Feb 2024 / May 24, 2024: NCLAT and related orders clarified handling of delayed claims during implementation rather than by reopening insolvency proceedings.
- Nov 3, 2025: Supreme Court fixed Dec 5 as the final cut-off for claims.
- Jan 16, 2026: Next scheduled hearing on implementation matters.
Suraksha’s public notice and the controversy
Suraksha Realty issued a public notice following the court order, inviting homebuyers who missed earlier deadlines to file claims for refunds by the Dec 5 date. The notice warned that “post Dec 6, claims will be extinguished.” Some homebuyers’ groups have criticised the notice for appearing to emphasise refunds while downplaying the option to seek flat allotments — an interpretation they say is inconsistent with the Supreme Court’s direction.
Homebuyer representatives have urged vigilance and full clarity from Suraksha on both refund and allotment routes, arguing that incomplete or selective communications could leave many without recourse.
Who should act and what to prepare
If you are an affected buyer or represent a group, take these steps immediately:
- Gather purchase agreements, payment receipts, bank statements, allotment letters and any communication with Jaypee Infratech or Suraksha.
- Prepare a concise claim statement: state whether you seek a refund or allotment of a flat, and attach supporting documents.
- Submit your claim to Suraksha Realty before Dec 5 and retain proof of submission (acknowledgement, courier receipt, email confirmation).
Special guidance for NRIs and remote claimants
NRIs and buyers based outside the project cities should be especially careful about compliance and documentation. Practical checks and formalities can differ for non-resident investors — consider a dedicated review of your paperwork and legal position. Useful resources on compliance and documentation include legal due diligence for NRI property buyers in India and services such as NRI Realty Edge which explain typical requirements and pitfalls.
What to expect after you file
Suraksha and the monitoring committee established under the resolution plan will evaluate submitted claims. Expect administrative verification, possible queries for additional documents, and then a decision on refund vs allotment based on plan terms and individual eligibility. Keep copies of all correspondence and track communications closely.
Common buyer concerns
- Will refunds be paid quickly? Payment timing depends on the implementation schedule and available funds under the resolution plan.
- Can a buyer change from refund to allotment (or vice versa)? That will be subject to Suraksha’s process and any directions from the monitoring committee or courts.
- What happens if a claim is missed? According to the notice, claims not filed by the deadline risk being extinguished; the Supreme Court has stressed finality.
