If the appellant&#8217;s proposal is approved, the Hon&#8217;ble Apex Court opined that it would lead to more liquidations than insolvency resolution and maximisation of value of the assets of the corporate debtor. As a result, the appeal was dismissed.<\/li>\n<li>Below judgement is significant because it affirms the fundamental concept that the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code of 2016, as amended was never intended to be used to collect debts. Rather, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 was aimed at reviving commercially ailing companies &amp; \u00a0bringing them back to their feet.<\/li>\n<li>If every financial creditor were given the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caindelhiindia.com\/blog\/cabinet-approves-real-estate-regulation-and-development-bill-2015\/\">option of individually coming up with its grievances,<\/a> The purpose of having a CoC would be defeated if each financial creditor was given the choice of coming up with its own grievances.<\/li>\n<li>As a result, the decision rightly holds that a dissenting financial creditor cannot seek to impose a right above and above the rights of other financial creditors.<\/li>\n<li><strong style=\"color: #000080;\">Supreme court recent decision in <em>India Resurgence ARC Pvt. Ltd. v. Amit Metalinks Ltd. &amp; Anr.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Latest_update_on_Dissenting_secured_creditor-_S_Court_in_the_DBS_Judgement\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Latest update on Dissenting secured creditor- S. Court in the DBS Judgement<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">From a review of the laws prevalent in various jurisdictions, it appears that a fundamental principle followed in bankruptcy laws globally is that a dissenting secured creditor has the right to receive the value of its security, up to the amount due to such creditor. Hence, the view taken by the Supreme Court in the DBS Judgement aligns with the protection being offered to dissenting secured creditors globally.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">It may be noted that a discussion paper was issued by the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (\u201cBoard\u201d) on November 1, 2023, proposing certain amendments to the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process Regulations, including amendments to Regulation 38 concerning the minimum entitlement of dissenting financial creditors. But no clarity was provided in the said discussion paper with respect to the issue at hand. While the IBBI (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) (Amendment) Regulations, 2024 were notified by the Board on February 15, 2024, the aforementioned proposed amendments to Regulation 38 regarding the entitlement of dissenting financial creditors were not notified and have been held for further examination.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">In financing transactions today, creditors undertake extensive due diligence exercises and negotiations to arrive at a security package, on the basis of which credit decisions are made to advance loans or financial facilities to borrowers. During the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process, depriving such creditors of the benefit of their collateral would, in our view, unfairly affect their interests and would not align with globally acceptable standards.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">As noted above, in the case of liquidation proceedings, secured creditors have the option to enforce security outside of the liquidation estate; But, no such option is available in the case of the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process. If secured creditors are deprived of this right, they may be incentivized to push the corporate debtor towards liquidation rather than revival.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Therefore, in light of the coercive nature of cramdown provisions, which essentially impose the views of the majority committee of creditors on the minority, the legitimate expectations of dissenting secured creditors should be protected by ensuring that they receive an amount equivalent to the economic interest of their security under a resolution plan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Insolvency &amp; Bankruptcy Code, 2016 | Issues &amp; Concerns| How it is form | \u0915\u0902\u092a\u0928\u0940 \u092a\u0930 \u0932\u0947\u0928\u0926\u093e\u0930\u094b\u0902 \u0915\u0947 \u0905\u0927\u093f\u0915\u093e\u0930\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0Jcppo7HJAo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Popular blogs:- <em>Post by <a href=\"https:\/\/carajput.com\/\">Rajput Jain &amp; Associates<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/ibc-forms-insolvency-and-bankruptcy-code-2016-forms-demand-notices-returns\/\">IBC Forms Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 Forms Demand Notices Returns<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/carajput.com\/services\/how-does-the-role-of-resolution-professional-help.php\">How does the Role of Resolution Professional help under IBC<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/overviews-of-principles-of-avoidable-preferential-transactions-ibc-2016\/\">Overviews of Principles of Avoidable Preferential Transactions IBC-2016<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/carajput.com\/blog\/ibc-ordinance-2020-after-the-impact-covid-19-covid-period-defaults-cannot-be-triggered-by-cirp\/\">IBC ordinance 2020 after the impact covid-19 covid period defaults cannot be triggered by CIRP<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dissident Financial Creditors and Equal Principle under IBC If the creditors eventually get the liquidated interest that is almost Zero in most cases will only deter the creditors to lend and OC would start seeking the payment in advance that would be difficult for the Corporate Debtors in most cases.
