Noida and Greater Noida have grown into a major business region: IT parks and data centres, electronics and mobile phone manufacturing, garment exporters, logistics hubs along the expressways, and, most visibly, tens of thousands of apartments built by developers large and small. That growth has also produced some of India's best-known insolvency cases, especially involving builders whose projects stalled.
Noida is in Uttar Pradesh, so a company registered in Noida or Greater Noida has its NCLT cases heard by the Allahabad Bench in Prayagraj, not in Delhi. We handle these matters from our office in Vaishali, Ghaziabad, which is about half an hour from central Noida. We prepare and file online, and work with associate counsel in Prayagraj for appearances. This page explains what we do for Noida clients, the cases we see most, and the choices homebuyers, creditors and companies face.

Homebuyers: RERA, consumer commission or NCLT?
Noida homebuyers usually have three options. UP RERA can order refund with interest or possession with compensation for delay, and its orders are recovered through the district administration. Consumer commissions can award compensation for deficiency in service. The NCLT route, through a Section 7 petition, puts the builder's company into CIRP, suspends its board and puts the project under a resolution professional, with buyers voting on the committee of creditors through their authorised representative.
The NCLT route needs at least 100 allottees or 10% of the allottees of the same project, whichever is less. It suits cases where the builder cannot or will not finish and buyers want a new developer to complete the project. It is less suitable if most buyers simply want refunds from a builder that has money, where RERA may be faster. In Noida, there is an added layer: land in Noida and Greater Noida is often leased from the development authorities, and unpaid lease dues to the authority can affect any resolution plan. For RERA refunds, see refund with interest.
Authority land and resolution plans
Most residential and commercial projects in Noida and Greater Noida are built on land leased from the Noida, Greater Noida or Yamuna Expressway authorities. When a builder defaults, the authority is usually owed lease premium and other dues, and the lease may allow it to cancel. In a CIRP, the authority files a claim like other creditors, and its treatment in the plan is often one of the hardest issues. Bidders need to know what the authority will accept for the lease to continue and for completion and occupancy certificates to be issued. Homebuyers should understand that a plan which ignores authority dues may stall again at the registry stage.

How we work for Noida clients
We are a litigation practice led by Advocate BK Singh, with offices in Dwarka (New Delhi) and Vaishali (Ghaziabad). This is what you can expect:
- Close by: our Vaishali office is about half an hour from central Noida.
- No trips to Prayagraj needed: we e-file from NCR and use associate counsel or virtual appearance.
- Honest forum advice: RERA, consumer commission or NCLT, depending on what you want.
- Buyers' groups coordinated: we help organise allottees, documents and authority letters.
- Written fee terms: agreed stage by stage, never linked to the outcome.
Mistakes Noida clients often make
- Filing a Noida builder's case in NCLT New Delhi
- Counting buyers from different projects to reach the threshold
- Suing the group's Delhi holding company instead of the Noida project company
- Missing the claim deadline after the builder is admitted into CIRP
- Ignoring authority lease dues when assessing a resolution plan
Buyers of a stalled Greater Noida project
Here's a made-up example. Around 160 buyers in a Greater Noida project had waited seven years. The builder had stopped work and owed lease dues to the development authority. Some buyers held RERA refund orders that had not been paid.
We met the buyers' association in Vaishali and online, checked the agreements and confirmed that the project company was registered in Noida. A Section 7 petition was filed before NCLT Allahabad. After admission, the resolution professional invited plans. A developer's plan provided for completion within three years and a settlement with the authority on lease dues. The buyers, through their authorised representative, voted in favour, and the plan was approved.
An IT vendor and a Noida client
Here's a second made-up example. A Bengaluru software firm had developed a platform for a Noida e-commerce company and was owed Rs 1.2 crore after go-live. The client had signed the acceptance certificate and never raised a complaint.
We sent a demand notice under Section 8 to the client's registered office in Noida. No notice of dispute came within ten days. A Section 9 application was filed before NCLT Allahabad, with the vendor attending by video. The client paid in two instalments, and the application was withdrawn.
What happens to your flat after the builder is admitted
Public announcement
The interim resolution professional publishes an announcement with the last date for claims. Buyers file in Form CA with their agreement and payment proof.
Authorised representative
Buyers in a project form a class and vote through an authorised representative, chosen from the professionals named in the announcement. You give voting instructions on each resolution.
Committee of creditors
The committee, in which homebuyers often hold a large share of the vote, decides on the resolution professional, costs, extensions and resolution plans.
Resolution plan
A new developer proposes how the project will be completed, what buyers will receive and when, and how the authority's dues and lenders will be treated.
Approval and completion
If the committee approves by 66% and the NCLT approves the plan, the developer takes over and completes the project under the plan's terms, usually with a monitoring committee.
Noida's IT and electronics companies
Not every Noida NCLT case is about real estate. Noida's IT and IT-enabled services firms, data centre operators and electronics manufacturers produce supplier claims, landlord claims for unpaid rent on office space, and disputes between founders and investors. Electronics manufacturers in the sectors along the expressway often depend on imported components on credit and on a few large brand customers; when a customer delays payment, defaults to component suppliers can follow quickly. For vendors, the question is usually whether the debt is above Rs 1 crore and undisputed. For founders, it is often about dilution and board control, as explained on our illegal share allotment page.
