The promoters diverted the money to around 80 shell construction companies after showing it as loans against the name of homebuyers under the subvention scheme. Under this scheme, the buyer pays the initial amount, and the bank pays the loan amount to the developer as the construction progresses, while the interest portion on the loan disbursed is paid by the developer. Buyers don’t have to pay interest on home loan till the property remains under construction or for the period agreed on.
