Approval of Resolution Plan - Rai Homes Universal Private Limited

National Company Law Tribunal18 September 2025

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

The Tribunal, having examined the resolution plan against Section 30(2) of the IBC and Regulation 38, holds that a resolution plan may be approved only if it provides for payment of CIRP costs in priority to other debts, provides for payment to operational creditors and to dissenting financial creditors not less than their liquidation entitlement under Section 53 with operational creditors paid in priority to financial creditors and dissenting financial creditors in priority to consenting ones, provides for management and supervision of the corporate debtor's affairs and implementation of the plan, does not contravene any law in force, and satisfies the requirements of Regulation 38(1A), (1B), (2) and (3) concerning stakeholder treatment, implementation schedule, and feasibility and capability of the resolution applicant. Under Section 31 proviso, the Adjudicating Authority may approve a plan only after being satisfied that it contains provisions for its effective implementation; here this is satisfied by the Tribunal directing constitution of a monitoring committee under the Resolution Professional's chairmanship with homebuyer and resolution applicant representation. Following Ghanshyam Mishra and Sons Private Limited v. Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited, claims of the Central Government, State Governments and local authorities, including statutory dues and penalties arising before the insolvency commencement date and not claimed or paid under the plan, stand extinguished, while other reliefs and concessions sought by the resolution applicant are not granted by the Tribunal but must be sought from the concerned authorities under the relevant statutes. Pending avoidance applications under Sections 43, 45, 50 and 66 do not, by virtue of Section 26, affect the approval of a resolution plan, and any recoveries therefrom may be applied as the plan provides.

7. The applicant has filed the Additional Affidavit dated 24.07.2023 to bring on record certain subsequent developments in the matter. The following submissions are made in the said affidavit: 7.1 The Resolution Professional convened a meeting dated 02.07.2023 of Home Buyers in whose favour the possession and registry is there ("Possession Holders") as well as the Resolution Applicant ("RA"). In the said meeting, RA heard the grievances of Possession Holders.

In the meeting, RA explained contents of its email. Possession Holders had raised various queries which were replied by RA. However, the Resolution Applicant expressed its inability to reduce the contribution, as amount of contribution is already subsidized by 63% and that the rate was offered in the year 2020 which has increased by 30% to 40% by now. Hence, RA expressed its inability to reduce/waive off the contribution from possession holders.

8. The Applicant then filed another additional affidavit dated 24.08.2023 to bring on record various developments that have taken place pursuant to the order dated 27.07.2023 passed by this Adjudicating Authority.

Based on the above, this Adjudicating Authority vide order dated 27.07.2023 gave an opportunity to parties to settle the matter amongst themselves. Though the advocate for Resolution Applicant had submitted that RA is ready to accept an affidavit from the Dissatisfied Home Buyers who are not ready to make any payment that they will not claim benefit of any of the amenities provided by the RA, the said stand has not been recorded in order due to inadvertence. 8.3 Pursuant to the order dated 27.07.2023, the Resolution Applicant had sent a draft of affidavit to the Resolution Professional. The said draft was forwarded to the advocate appearing for applicants in I.A. No. 193 of 2020 vide email dated 02.08.2023.

At the same time, 27 applicants have given affidavit stating their readiness to make payment of Rs. 70,000/- (Rupees Seventy Thousand Only) towards their contribution. The affidavit of 27 applicants is contrary to the submission made by their advocate wherein she had unequivocally stated that the Dissatisfied Home Buyers are ready to make payment of Rs. 1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lac Only). 8.5 The Resolution Professional has also received emails/Affidavit from 12 home buyers who are ready and willing to pay the entire contribution as is provided in the Resolution Plan and they do not want to continue with proceedings of Interim Application No. 193 of 2020. 8.6 Further, in block A and C 88% construction is yet to be done while Block B and Block E are not constructed at all and 100% construction is yet to be done.

Jagdish Kumar Parulkar RP IA No.136/2020 In TP 171 of 2019 [CP(IB) 218 of 2018] plan) and since the CoC approved the resolution plan of M/s. SVK Infracon Private Limited in consortium with Arya Infra Solutions by requisite (76.66%) voting percentage it is not necessary for us to go into details of commercial aspect of the plan. We proceed to examine the plan in view of section 30(2) and 31 of the IBC read with Regulation 38 of the IBBI (CIRP of the Corporate Debtor Regulation, 2016). The RP has produced on record the compliance certificate in Form-H, the revised Form-H was filed on 28.06.2025. It shows that fair value of the assets of the corporate debtor is Rs.6.97 crore whereas, the liquidation value is Rs.2.96 crore. The successful resolution applicant has proposed payment of Rs.7001.01 lacs in the resolution plan.

19. It is noted that the applicant has stated that the as per Clause 32(3) of Resolution Plan (Pg. 419), the proceeds of application for avoidance of fraudulent transaction will go to Home Buyers.

20. To obtain the approval of the Adjudicating Authority the resolution plan should adhere to the following requirements as per Section 30(2) of the Code:

(i) It should provide for the payment of insolvency resolution process costs in priority to the repayment of other debts of the corporate debtor. [Section 30(2)(a)]

Page - 25 - of 36

Jagdish Kumar Parulkar RP IA No.136/2020 In TP 171 of 2019 [CP(IB) 218 of 2018] (ii) The repayment of the debts of operational creditors and dissenting financial creditors should not be less than the amount to be paid to such respective creditors in the event of liquidation of the corporate debtor under section 53 of the Code. Moreover, the payment to the operational creditor is to be made in priority over the financial creditor; and the payment to dissenting financial creditor is to be made in priority to the consenting financial creditors. [Section 30(2)(b) read with CIRP Regulation 38(1)(a) & 38(1)(b)];

(iii) Provides for the management of the affairs of the corporate debtor after approval of the resolution plan. [Section 30(2)(c) read with CIRP Regulation 38(2)(b)];

(iv) The implementation and supervision of the resolution plan. [Section 30(2)(d) read with CIRP Regulation 38(2)(c)];

(v) It does not contravene any of the provisions of the law for the time being in force. [Section 30(2)(e)];

(vi) It conforms to such other requirements as may be specified by the Board. [Section 30(2)(f)] Such other requirements of the resolution plan as detailed in IBBI (Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Page - 26 - of 36

Jagdish Kumar Parulkar RP IA No.136/2020 In TP 171 of 2019 [CP(IB) 218 of 2018] Regulations, 2016 which are not covered above, are as under:

(a) The resolution plan should include statement as to how it has dealt with the interests of all stakeholders including financial creditors and operational creditors of the corporate debtor. [CIRP Regulation 38 (1A)]

(b) The resolution plan should include a statement giving details as to whether the resolution applicant or any of its related parties has at any time failed to implement or caused to the failure of implementation of any other resolution plan which was approved by the Adjudicating Authority. [CIRP Regulation 38 (1B)]

(c) The resolution plan should contain the term of the plan and its implementation schedule. [CIRP Regulation 38(2)(a)]

(d) The resolution plan should also demonstrate that it addresses the cause of default; is feasible and viable; has provisions for its effective implementation; has provisions for approvals required and timeline for the same. Further that Page - 27 - of 36

Jagdish Kumar Parulkar RP IA No.136/2020 In TP 171 of 2019 [CP(IB) 218 of 2018] the resolution applicant has the capability to implement the resolution plan. [CIRP Regulation 38(3)]

21. We have gone through the Resolution Plana and the Revised Form H filed by the RP as discussed above and consider that the above requirements have been met. 22. In view of the above provisions of the Code, 2016, the resolution plan submitted before us has been examined as follows:

(i) In the plan, the provision towards CIRP costs is made for Rs. 35,00,000/- in priority to the repayment of other debts of the corporate debtor. Thereby, section 30(2)(a) has been complied with.

(ii) Provision towards payment with respect to the operational creditors is made in the said resolution plan. Further a provision is made regarding the payment to the operational creditor in priority to payment of financial creditors.

It is also seen from the material on record that the financial creditors Bank of India and Canara Bank having 22.97% and 0.37% voting share respectively objected to the approval of the said resolution plan and therefore, appears to be dissenting Financial Creditors. However, we note that in the plan a provision is made regarding the payment to the Page - 28 - of 36

Jagdish Kumar Parulkar RP IA No.136/2020 In TP 171 of 2019 [CP(IB) 218 of 2018] dissenting financial creditor in priority to other consenting financial creditors which will not be less than the amount that would have been payable as per Section 53 of the Code, 2016, in the event of Liquidation of the Company. We hold that provisions of section 30(2)(b) read with CIRP Regulation 38(1)(a) & 38(1)(b) have been complied with.

(iii) The mechanism for management and control of the affairs of the corporate debtor after approval of the resolution plan has been provided in the resolution plan itself whereby the Resolution Professional will look after the business of the corporate debtor after approval of the resolution plan and pending its implementation. We hold that thereby provisions of Section 30(2)(c) read with CIRP Regulation 38(2)(b)

(iv) The resolution plan contains a provision wherein, the implementation of the said plan will be supervised by the Monitoring Professional i.e. RP- Mr. Jagdish Kumar Parulkar. Thereby, Section 30(2)(d) read with CIRP Regulation 38(2)(c) has been complied with. However, we order that a monitoring committee comprising of the RP, a representative of the Homebuyers and a representative of the successful resolution applicant be formed to look after implementation of the Plan. RP would be the chairman of the monitoring committee.

Jagdish Kumar Parulkar RP IA No.136/2020 In TP 171 of 2019 [CP(IB) 218 of 2018] (v) The RP has submitted that the plan does not contravene any provisions of law. We also noted that the plan does not contravene any provisions of the law for the time being in force. Thereby, Section 30(2)(e) has been complied with.

(vi) The resolution plan also conforms to other IBBI Regulations as given hereunder:

a) The resolution plan adequately deals with the interests of all stakeholders, including financial creditors and operational creditors of the corporate debtor. Thereby, the plan is in compliance with CIRP Regulation 38 (1A)

b) It is submitted that neither the resolution applicant nor any of its related parties has at any time failed to implement or contributed to the failure of implementation of any other resolution plan which was approved by the Adjudicating Authority. Thereby, the plan is in compliance with CIRP Regulation 38 (1B).

c) The term of the Plan is 4 years (i.e. 48 months). It provides for the implementation schedule as under:

Capital reduction of the existing Effective Date equity share capital to ZERO Subscribing to equity shares Effective Date and debentures to be issued by the Corporate Debtor Payment to the Financial As per Creditors Financial Bid

Thereby CIRP Regulation 38(2)(a) has been complied with. The effective date is the date of order of this Tribunal for approving the plan. d) The resolution plan addresses the cause of default; is feasible and viable; has provisions for its effective implementation; contains provisions corporate debtor for approvals required and timeline for the same. Further that the resolution applicant has the capability to implement the resolution plan. Thus, CIRP Regulation 38(3) has been complied with.

23. The resolution applicant M/s. SVK Infracon Private Limited in consortium with Arya Infra Solutions, where SVK Infracon Private Limited is a private Limited Company, and the directors and promoters are Mr. Virendra Kukreja and Mr. Shrawan Kukreja. The Resolution Applicant is in real estate and construction business. Page - 31 - of 36

Jagdish Kumar Parulkar RP IA No.136/2020 In TP 171 of 2019 [CP(IB) 218 of 2018] 24. That as per the Resolution Plan, the Successful Resolution Applicant has proposed capital infusion for the revival of the Corporate Debtor in the following manner: Sr. Forms of Fund Amount (in Lacs) 1. Equity Share Capital 90 2. Loans/Inter-Corporate Deposits/joint 2000 venture fund/strategic Partner/subsidiaries/foreign Funding 3. Amount raised from customers/ existing 4911.01 buyers Total 7001.01

25. As far as reliefs and concessions claimed by the resolution applicant, the law has been well settled by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Ghanashyam Mishra and Sons Private Limited Vs. Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction Company Limited and Ors. reported in MANU/SC/0273/2021 in the following words:

86. “……..The legislative intent behind this is, to freeze all the claims so that the resolution applicant starts on a clean slate and is not flung with any surprise claims. If that is permitted, the very calculations on the basis of which the resolution applicant submits its plans, would go haywire and the plan would be unworkable.

87. We have no hesitation to say, that the word "other stakeholders" would squarely cover the Central Government, any State Government or any local

Page - 32 - of 36

Jagdish Kumar Parulkar RP IA No.136/2020 In TP 171 of 2019 [CP(IB) 218 of 2018] authorities. The legislature, noticing that on account of obvious omission, certain tax authorities were not abiding by the mandate of I&B Code and continuing with the proceedings, has brought out the 2019 amendment so as to cure the said mischief…..”

26. In view of the above, all unclaimed unpaid liabilities would stand extinguished. As far as other reliefs and concessions as sought by the resolution applicant, we direct the said successful resolution applicant to approach the concerned authority for those reliefs and concessions and the concerned authorities will consider the same as per the provisions of law under the relevant Acts. 27. The Resolution Professional has clarified that the Resolution Plan submitted by the RA provides that any benefits/recovery due from the Preferential, Undervalued, Fraudulent, and Extortionate (PUFE) application will go the homebuyers (daily order of 12.08.2025). The RP has filed PUFE applications vide IA/11 (MP)2021 and IA/24 (MP)2021. Section 26 of the IBC,2016 provides that filing of avoidance application by the RP shall not affect the proceedings of the CIRP. These applications are pending for adjudication, but we consider that in view of the specific provisions of section 26, the pendency of the avoidance applications does not affect the approval of the Resolution Plan. We are of the view that recoveries, if any, would reduce the financial burden of the homebuyers considered in the Application.

Jagdish Kumar Parulkar RP IA No.136/2020 In TP 171 of 2019 [CP(IB) 218 of 2018] 28. The application for approval of the plan was file din the year 2020. Due to various proceedings its approval got delayed. The Resolution Plan is approved by all the homebuyers. We are conscious of the decision of the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Mansi Brar Fernandes vs. Shubha Sharma and anr.

They have approved the Resolution Plan and we hope that the plan will be implemented properly. As noted in this order a monitoring committee is required to be constituted for overseeing the implementation of the Plan.

29. The proviso to section 31 of the Code, 2016, states that before passing any order for approval of the resolution plan, the Adjudicating Authority should also satisfy that the resolution plan has provisions for its effective implementation.
