..... ce construction work under the Promoter which will be finalized in few days. That in order to more clarity on the funds utilization the Promoter has annexed a plan for the proper utilization of funds and its planning to maximize the uses in order to complete the projects in time as per the Resolution plan. (c) Planning of the Promoter to execute the Project Since in Phase-I of the Project, where 94% area is sold out and 70% of construction is completed, therefore, the Promoter is planning to complete the Phase-I on priority basis. Further, the Promoter wants to star Phase-II of the Project where only 12% of area is sold only after completion of Phase-I or when atleast 75% units will be booked. Since there are only 22 units booked and allotted in Phase-II and the Company has collected only initial booking amount of Rs. 3.67 crores, therefore, the Promoters is planning to either request the customers of Phase-II to wait to restart of the construction or may refund the amount by selling those units to other buyers.

..... n be completed within 6-9 Months. Some Plumbing and Electrical work is done in Tower 1-13, and the remaining Plumbing and Electrical work can be carried out in all the remaining towers, side by side, while completing construction of Tower 8-12. According to discussions with the technical consultants, architects and contractor, the Project of Phase-1 (Tower 1-12) can be completed within the total period of 18 Months, provided the funds flow is continued. This period is extendable by 3 Months for making Application for 'occupancy certificate' and obtaining approvals before delivery of flats. 3. Funds Flow The Applicant has considered 100% inflow of funds at the completion of every stage of construction, which is practically not possible. After analysing that 86 Homebuyers (19%) in Phase-I have not yet submitted their claims, I have observed that the corporate debtor will not get more than 90% of balance dues from Homebuyers, and in case of unsold flats, the corporate debtor will not get more than 60% after sale of flats, until the Project is completely delivered. Keeping in view the above assumptions, I have changed the inflow and usage of funds, as per .....

This condition is unfair until the flats are delivered to the homebuyers. 8. The Homebuyers has shown concern on the 'Balance Dues receivable' by the corporate debtor. I have addressed their concern by sharing their information with them/their lawyers. 9. The Homebuyers has a major concern that the approval of Proposed Settlement Plan' will result into 'No action against the Applicant for preferential/undervalued transactions. The funds required to complete the Project should be inducted as 'Reverse of preferential/undervalued transactions'. 5. CONTRACTOR'S CONCERNS:- Indsao Infratech informed that he had discussions with the Applicant and is ready to restart construction immediately.

It is important to mention that no settlement plan encompassing all the allottees has been filed to date. The allottees of different groups have filed IA 183 of 2020, 184 of 2020 dated 10th January 2020, IA 205 of 2020 dated 13th January 2020, IA 330 of 2020 dated 22nd January 2020, IA 366 of 2020 dated 31st January 2020, IA 560 of 2020 dated 03rd February 2020, IA 738 of 2020 dated 13th February 2020, IA 739 of 2020 dated 13th February 2020 and 756 of 2020 dated 14th February 2020 for Impleadment.
