Quick summary
About 100 Jaypee Wish Town homebuyers met Noida Authority OSD Santosh Kumar on Monday and asked for an inquiry into the NCLT-approved resolution plan.
Suraksha Group says 84 of 159 towers are complete and 42 towers have occupancy certificates. Buyers say the towers still lack working lifts, fire safety systems, sewage treatment and other basics required for safe occupancy.
A five-member committee formed by the Uttar Pradesh government is already examining whether construction matches approved plans and whether buyers' money is going into the site.
The resolution plan promises completion within 40 months of the NCLAT's May 2024 order.
What happened at the Noida Authority office
At 11 am on Monday, around 100 homebuyers from different Jaypee Wish Town projects gathered at the Noida Authority office and met Mr. Santosh Kumar, the officer on special duty. Their request was for a formal inquiry into the resolution plan approved by the National Company Law Tribunal for the stalled projects of Jaypee Infratech Ltd (JIL).
Mr. Santosh Kumar told the delegation that the authority had heard their grievances and would inspect the project tower by tower. No date for the inspection has been announced.
Why buyers say a tower with an occupancy certificate is still not safe to occupy
The delegation's main complaint is that paperwork and habitability have separated. Several towers have received occupancy certificates, yet buyers report falling plaster, lifts that do not run, incomplete fire safety systems, and unfinished water and sewage infrastructure. They also listed clubhouses, internal roads, sewage treatment plants, lighting and landscaping as either unfinished or not operational at all.
One of the homebuyers, said that even where an occupancy certificate exists, usable possession is delayed because essential services are missing, incomplete or not working. He added that construction and handover targets have changed repeatedly while buyers continue to wait for safe and usable possession.
For anyone who has followed Noida's stalled-project history, this is a familiar problem. A certificate confirms that a building meets approved norms at a point in time. It does not confirm that a family can move in and live there. That gap is one reason more buyers now look at ready-to-move flats in Noida instead of paying for construction that may run for years.
The workforce complaint
Buyers made a second allegation. They said the resolution plan required Suraksha Group to deploy 12,000 workers to finish the apartments on time, and that this number was never reached. The source report does not include a response from Suraksha on the worker count, so it remains a claim from the buyers' side.
Suraksha Group's numbers
A Suraksha Group official told the reporters that the developer is delivering the project according to the resolution plan. The figures he gave are below, along with what they imply.
Item | Suraksha's figure |
Total towers | 159 |
Towers with construction completed | 84 (7,913 units) |
Towers with occupancy certificates | 42 (4,213 flats) |
Towers where OC has been applied for | 28 (2,385 flats) |
Clubhouses planned | 22 |
Clubhouses in advanced stage | 15 |
As per these numbers about 53% of the towers are built by Suraksha's own count. Of the 84 completed towers, 42 hold occupancy certificates and 28 more are waiting on applications, which leaves 14 completed towers with no certificate and no pending application in the figures provided. Seven of the 22 clubhouses are not yet in an advanced stage of development. These are our calculations from the developer's statement and not figures Suraksha has published.
A committee is already looking at the money and its deployment
Earlier this month, the Uttar Pradesh government formed a five-member committee headed by Mr. Santosh Kumar. It has two tasks: to check whether the flats Suraksha is building follow the approved plans, and to check whether funds collected from homebuyers are being used for construction or being diverted to other ventures.
The second task connects to a concern raised elsewhere. In January 2026, Delhi Police registered an FIR against Suraksha Group alleging the diversion of ₹230 crore meant for construction, as covered in our earlier report on the Jaypee, Adani and Suraksha resolution. Fund use is also the subject of the Supreme Court petition we covered in how 95% of homebuyer money vanished in the Jaypee insolvency. An FIR is an allegation, and Suraksha has not been found guilty of anything in the material we have seen.
Besides this, there are also numerous complaints of alleged non-compliance of RERA order of relaxed transfer charges, which continue to be levied in full. There are also allegations from buyers against Suraksha that they are being charged delayed payment interest on the stalled projects and are not left with any option but to pay these or risk cancellation of their units..
How the resolution plan got here
August 2017: Insolvency proceedings against Jaypee Infratech began after an application by an IDBI Bank-led consortium.
March 7, 2023: The NCLT approved Suraksha Group's bid to acquire JIL.
May 2024: The NCLAT upheld the resolution plan, under which Suraksha committed to complete the projects in 40 months.
Counting 40 months from mid-2024 puts the deadline around late 2027. Suraksha took operational control in June 2024, and if the clock started then, roughly two years remain. About 21,256 homebuyers had claims admitted in the related Jaypee Associates process, and many of them have waited since 2010.
What homebuyers and prospective buyers should watch
The committee's findings. The report on plan compliance and fund use will be the first independent assessment tied to the authority.
The tower-wise inspection. It should show which towers meet fire safety and utility requirements, whatever their certificate status.
OC applications for the 28 towers. How quickly these are decided will show whether the certificate process is keeping pace with construction.
Utility completion. Working lifts, sewage treatment plants and fire systems are what turn a certified tower into a habitable one.
If you are considering a purchase in a resolved project, ask for the occupancy certificate and also for written confirmation that lifts, fire clearance, water supply and sewage connections are operational. Our RERA compliance and due diligence guide lists the documents to request.
