🏗️ Builders Raided Over 'Subvention Scheme' Fraud Linked to Supreme Court-Ordered FIRs

The Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at several builder premises in Delhi-NCR in connection with a money laundering case tied to an alleged subvention scheme fraud. The ED's investigation under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act stems from three FIRs filed by the CBI in 2025 on the directions of the Supreme Court. The subvention scheme, which was marketed as a buyer-friendly arrangement, is alleged to have been misused to siphon funds at the expense of homebuyers. [7]
