If ED attaches a developer's assets, are homebuyers actually closer to getting their money back?
The Ozone Urbana case puts that question in sharp focus.
ED alleges ₹927.22 crore was involved in the homebuyer case and has provisionally attached properties valued at approximately ₹423.38 crore.
That works out to about 45.7% of the alleged amount.
But it is not a 45.7% recovery rate.
Attached property is not the same as cash returned to buyers, and the promoter's arrest does not itself settle refund or possession claims.
The case is more complex because homebuyers have encountered RERA, criminal investigations, PMLA proceedings and insolvency proceedings. Ozone Urbana's CIRP was initiated in June, but its dedicated portal currently says the process is in abeyance following NCLAT orders.
See Link -> ED asks homebuyers to report builders refusing RERA details or demanding cash
The key distinction for buyers is simple:
Arrest ≠ conviction. Attachment ≠ repayment. A legal claim ≠ guaranteed recovery.
So what should count as genuine progress in a stalled project: enforcement action, construction restarting, or actual money reaching buyers?
