Approval of Resolution Plan - Samar Estates Private Limited

National Company Law Tribunal13 August 2026

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

Once a resolution plan has been approved by the CoC with the requisite majority in exercise of its commercial wisdom, the Adjudicating Authority's jurisdiction under Section 30(6) is confined to examining whether the plan meets the requirements of Section 30(2) of the Code, and it must satisfy itself of that compliance "no more and no less," without substituting its own commercial view. Clarificatory addenda to an approved resolution plan, which do not alter the commercial terms, payout structure, or treatment of any class of creditors as approved by the CoC, may be taken on record by the Adjudicating Authority without a fresh vote or reference back to the CoC. A clerical or summation error in the aggregate of admitted claims, which does not affect the individual admitted claims, the payouts under the plan, or the financial structure of the plan, does not vitiate the plan and may be corrected on record. Under Section 30(2)(b), where the liquidation value is nil for a class of creditors and the plan provides them a payout exceeding their entitlement under the Section 53(1) waterfall, the requirement of Section 30(2)(b) is satisfied, and such creditors cannot challenge the plan on that ground.

3. The salient features of the Resolution Plan, as submitted by the SRA and approved by the CoC, together with the subsequent addenda, are set out hereunder:

(i) Background of the SRA: The SRA is a Consortium of Mr. Ghanshyam Garg and M/s Tricon Buildwell Private Limited. The Consortium possesses a robust combined net worth of ₹324.50 Crores as of the audited financial year ending 31.03.2024, demonstrating excellent liquidity to execute the project. Mr. Ghanshyam Garg is a prominent entrepreneur from IA(IBC)(PLAN)/19(CH)2024 In CP(IB) No. 98/Chd/Hry/2022 (Admitted)

Panchkula who controls 50% shares of the Baddi-based pharmaceutical major, Aqua Vitoe Laboratories. The second consortium member, M/s Tricon Buildwell Private Limited, is led by Mr. Chandra Pal (C.P.) Singh, a civil engineer with over 30 years of industrial real estate execution experience, having successfully constructed and delivered over 20 million square feet across India for blue-chip multi-national corporations including PepsiCo, Panasonic, ITC, LG, and Samsung. It is stated that the combined financial and technical net worth satisfies the CoC's criteria regarding the scale and complexity of the Corporate Debtor’s housing project.

(ii) Eligibility under Section 29A: Affidavits of eligibility under Section 29A of the Code were executed by Mr. Ghanshyam Garg and by Mr. Chandra Pal Singh on behalf of M/s Tricon Buildwell Private Limited, both dated 01.07.2024. The RP, upon due diligence supported by an independent report of India C&L Law Offices dated 25.08.2024, has certified the SRA to be eligible under Section 29A of the Code, and has filed a further compliance affidavit to this effect before this Adjudicating Authority on 17.12.2024.

(iii) Valuation and Reconciliation: The audited balance sheet total asset carrying value of the Corporate Debtor as on the Insolvency Commencement Date (12.01.2024) is ₹275.92 crore. The Registered Valuers assessed the:

IA(IBC)(PLAN)/19(CH)2024 In CP(IB) No. 98/Chd/Hry/2022 (Admitted)

i. Fair Value of the specified assets at ₹3,47,15,70,631.22/- (approximately ₹347.16 crore) and ii. the Liquidation Value at ₹2,94,99,43,328.05/- (approximately ₹295.00 crore).

iii. In respect of Plant & Machinery, Mr. Lovkesh Goel's report (dated 04.05.2024) assessed Fair Value at ₹1,26,37,423/-and Liquidation Value at ₹95,73,325/-, iv. Mr. Pardeep Kumar's report (dated 10.04.2024) assessed Fair Value at ₹1,31,84,571/- and Liquidation Value at ₹1,05,89,657/-, as against the audited carrying value of Property, Plant & Equipment of ₹56,21,901/- in the books of the Corporate Debtor.

Tabulated hereunder for the ease of reference:

Asset Class Audited Book Registered Fair Value (₹) Liquidation Value (₹) Value (₹) Valuer Name Land and Building ₹275,36,00,000.0 Deepak ₹3,10,48,74,712.00 ₹2,63,91,43,506.00 (Real Estate 0 Bansal Project) Plant & Machinery ₹56,21,901.00 Lovkesh Goel ₹1,26,37,423.00 ₹95,73,325.00 / Pardeep Kumar Liquid Cash & ₹7,650.80 Bank Ledger ₹7,650.80 ₹7,650.80 Cash Equivalents

TOTAL ASSETS ₹275.92 Crores Aggregated ₹3,47,15,70,631.22/- ₹2,94,99,43,328.05/-

IA(IBC)(PLAN)/19(CH)2024 In CP(IB) No. 98/Chd/Hry/2022 (Admitted)

(iv) The RP's reconciliation places on record that the divergence between the audited carrying value and the valuers' assessment arises because the valuers relied on physical inspection and inventorying of machinery and assets available on-site, a proper Fixed Asset Register not being available on account of the alleged non-cooperation of the suspended board, resulting in a realisable value higher than the heavily depreciated historical book value. This reconciliation, together with the clarification/addendum dated 10.07.2026, is taken on record for the limited purpose of reconciling the valuation reports with the audited balance sheet, and does not affect the valuation exercise or the Plan Value approved by the CoC.

(v) Detailed Allocation of SRA Payouts & Capex Budgets: The Total Resolution Plan Value is ₹620.89 crore, as against the true aggregate admitted claims of ₹413.06 crore, to be distributed as under:

Execution of SRA / Co-terminus with Complete execution and registration of sale Registered Sale Corporate Physical Possession deeds of the respective units in favour of Deeds Debtor homebuyers, marking the formal "Closing Date" under the plan.

*Effective Date: means the date of approval of the Resolution Plan by Hon’ble NCLT under Section 31(1) of the Code." (ix) Consequence of Default: In the event of failure to make payment in the manner and within the timelines envisaged in the Resolution Plan, the Performance Security furnished by the SRA is liable to stand forfeited in terms of Regulation 36B(4A) of the CIRP Regulations, and the matter shall be liable to be brought before this Adjudicating Authority in accordance with law.

(x) Performance Security: The SRA has furnished a Performance Bank Guarantee of ₹5,00,00,000/- (Rupees Five Crore only), being BG No. 110BG01243170001 dated 12.11.2024, issued by YES Bank Limited, SCO 151-152, Sector 9-C, Chandigarh, on the application of Mr. Ghanshyam Garg, in favour of M/s Samar Estates Private Limited (represented by its Resolution Professional), valid up to and including 09.11.2026, with a claim period up to 09.12.2026, in terms of Regulation 36B(4A) read with Regulation 39(4) of the CIRP Regulations.

(xi) Form H and Admitted-Claim Reconciliation: The latest Form H, dated 10.06.2026, records the individual admitted claims of the Secured Financial Creditor (₹2,38,64,53,085.08), the Unsecured Financial Creditors/Homebuyers

IA(IBC)(PLAN)/19(CH)2024 In CP(IB) No. 98/Chd/Hry/2022 (Admitted)

(₹1,71,97,58,929.71), the Government Operational Creditor (₹2,41,91,681.00) and the Other Operational Creditor (₹1,64,818.00), aggregating ₹4,13,05,68,513.79. Form H, however, reflects the grand total of admitted claims as ₹4,10,87,96,000.79, a shortfall of ₹2,17,72,513/-, which appears to arise from the inadvertent substitution of the proposed payment figure (₹24,19,168/-) in place of the admitted claim (₹2,41,91,681.00) of the Government Operational Creditor in the aggregate computation. The individual admitted claims and the proposed distributions, which are separately and correctly stated, remain unaffected by this clerical error, which shall stand corrected as directed below.

(xii) Clarificatory Addenda: The Addendum dated 21.10.2024 as amended by the clarification dated 10.07.2026, clarifies, inter alia:

(a) that homebuyers/allottees may keep pending proceedings, litigations, complaints or suits in abeyance until physical possession of their respective units is handed over and the registered sale deeds are executed, subject to appropriate orders being obtained from the concerned forum;

IA(IBC)(PLAN)/19(CH)2024 In CP(IB) No. 98/Chd/Hry/2022 (Admitted)

(b) that delayed payment charges at simple interest of 8% per annum shall apply, excluding for the CIRP period;

(c) that belated claims of homebuyers submitted up to two months prior to the Closing Date shall be considered; and (d) the voting mechanism of the Monitoring Committee, recording that the Resolution Applicant shall have no veto rights and that the erstwhile promoters shall have no control, veto rights or directorship in the Corporate Debtor.

(xiii) The clarification/addendum dated 10.07.2026, filed in compliance with the directions of this Adjudicating Authority vide order dated 09.07.2026, redefines the “Closing Date” as co-terminus with the SRA offering physical possession and executing registered sale deeds in favour of the respective homebuyers, and further reconciles the Registered Valuers' reports with the audited balance sheet, as recorded above.

(xiv) Learned Counsel for the RP submits that since the aforesaid addenda are strictly clarificatory in nature and do not alter the financial proposal, the payout structure, or the treatment of any class of creditors as approved by the CoC on 08.11.2024, no fresh voting or approval of the CoC is required, relying on IA(IBC)(PLAN)/19(CH)2024 In CP(IB) No. 98/Chd/Hry/2022 (Admitted)

Jatinder Pal Builders Private Limited v. Sandeep Goel Company Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) Nos. 613 and 614 of 2023, wherein it was held that clarificatory addenda involving no change in the payout structure may be taken on record by the Adjudicating Authority without reference back to the CoC, and Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority v. Monitoring Committee of Jaypee Infratech Limited Company Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) No. 493 of 2023, which affirms that the Adjudicating Authority may direct modifications or record clarificatory notes to render a plan compliant with law without disturbing the CoC's commercial wisdom or the basic structure of the plan.

(xv) It is submitted that two addenda to the Resolution Plan dated 03.10.2024, namely, the first addendum dated 21.10.2024 and the second clarification/addendum dated 10.07.2026 were filed to clarify certain operational and procedural aspects of the approved Resolution Plan and do not, in substance, seek to modify, dilute, or reopen any commercial term thereof. It is further submitted that the payout structure envisaged under the CoC-approved plan, as well as the treatment of secured financial creditors, operational creditors, and homebuyers as distinct classes, remains wholly unaffected by either addendum.

4. Compliance of the Resolution Plan with Section 30(2), Section 30(4) and Regulations of the CIRP Regulations, 2016 is as follows:

ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS

5. We have heard the Learned Counsel for the RP, and have carefully perused extant provisions of the Code, the Rules made thereunder

IA(IBC)(PLAN)/19(CH)2024 In CP(IB) No. 98/Chd/Hry/2022 (Admitted)

and various pleadings made by the Applicant along with supporting documents filed in its support.

6. It is a settled position of law that once a Resolution Plan is approved by the CoC with the requisite majority in exercise of its commercial wisdom, the jurisdiction of the Adjudicating Authority is confined to examining whether the Plan meets the requirements of Section 30(2)

of the Code. In K. Sashidhar v. Indian Overseas Bank, (2019) 12

SCC 150, the Hon'ble Supreme Court held that the Adjudicating

Authority is required to satisfy itself that the plan meets the requirements of Section 30(2), “no more and no less”. This position was reiterated in Essar Steel India Ltd. (Committee of Creditors) v.

Satish Kumar Gupta, (2020) 8 SCC 531, and again in Jaypee

Kensington Boulevard Apartments Welfare Association v. NBCC (India) Ltd., (2022) 1 SCC 401, where the Court clarified that any shortcoming found on such scrutiny may only result in the plan being remitted to the CoC for re-submission, without the Adjudicating

Authority substituting its own commercial view.

7. On the last date of hearing on 13.07.2026, the learned counsel appearing for the Suspended Director of the Corporate Debtor sought leave to place a short note on record, which was initially permitted.

However, since the Suspended Director is not arrayed as a party to the present Application, the said note could not formally be taken on record therein. Nevertheless, we have perused the email sent dated

30.07.2026 and taken note of the submissions contained therein.

IA(IBC)(PLAN)/19(CH)2024 In CP(IB) No. 98/Chd/Hry/2022 (Admitted)

Save and except the objection relating to the changes introduced through the Addenda to the Resolution Plan, which has been examined at length hereinafter, the remaining objections raised in the email dated 30.07.2026 do not fall for consideration at this stage of the present proceedings.

8. The suspended management has objected to the Addenda dated

21.10.2024 and 10.07.2026 on the ground that, having been executed after approval of the Resolution Plan by the CoC on 08.11.2024, they ought to be placed before the CoC for fresh consideration. On our examination, however, the provisions introduced through the said

Addenda appear to be clarificatory in nature. Clause J in the addendum dated 10.07.2026 permits homebuyers and creditors to keep pending proceedings in abeyance until physical possession is delivered and registered sale deeds are executed; the revised definition of the “Closing Date” links it with the offer of possession and execution of sale deeds; and the provision concerning delayed-payment interest clarifies that no interest shall be charged from homebuyers during the CIRP period. These provisions do not alter the commercial terms, payout structure, or treatment of any class of creditors as approved by the CoC.

9. The legal position, as recognised in Jatinder Pal Builders Private

Limited v. Sandeep Goel Company Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) Nos.

613 and 614 of 2023, and Yamuna Expressway Industrial

Development Authority v. Monitoring Committee of Jaypee

IA(IBC)(PLAN)/19(CH)2024 In CP(IB) No. 98/Chd/Hry/2022 (Admitted)

Infratech Limited Company Appeal (AT) (Insolvency) No. 493 of 2023, is that clarifications which do not disturb the commercial structure of the Resolution Plan or affect distributions ordinarily do not require a fresh vote of the CoC. The decision relied upon by the Suspended Board of the Corporate Debtor in Ocean Capital Market

Limited v. Uday Narayan Mitra Company Appeal (AT) (Insolvency)

No. 514 of 2023, is distinguishable, since the addendum in that case materially affected the treatment of personal guarantees and the recovery rights of secured creditors. In the present case, no such substantive alteration is evident. The Addenda merely removes ambiguity and facilitates implementation of the Plan without affecting the commercial wisdom of the CoC and are, therefore, taken on record without requiring fresh consideration by the CoC.

10. We note a clerical summation discrepancy of exactly

₹2,17,72,513.00/- in Section 7B of the Form H on record. In compiling the 'Grand Total' of admitted claims, the Resolution

Professional inadvertently added the 10% realisable payout proposed under the plan for the Government Operational Creditors (₹24,19,168.00) instead of their actual, fully admitted claim of ₹2,41,91,681.00, resulting in a recorded total of ₹4,10,87,96,000.79/-. Since the individual admitted claims and the SRA’s commercial payouts under the Resolution Plan are separately and correctly provided for, this minor summation error does not affect the financial structure, outlay, or implementation of the plan.

IA(IBC)(PLAN)/19(CH)2024 In CP(IB) No. 98/Chd/Hry/2022 (Admitted)

Accordingly, we direct that the true aggregate of admitted claims stands corrected on record as ₹4,13,05,68,513.79/-.

11. On the question of the Nil/low payouts proposed to Operational

Creditors, we have examined compliance with both limbs of Section

30(2)(b) of the Code. Under Section 30(2)(b)(i), the payout must not be less than the liquidation value. The registered valuers have assessed the Liquidation Value of the Corporate Debtor at ₹294,99,43,328.05/-. This value is substantially exhausted by the priority claim of the sole

Secured Financial Creditor, Punjab and Sind Bank (₹238,64,53,085.08/-), leaving insufficient surplus to cover the Unsecured Financial Creditors/Homebuyers in full (₹1,71,97,58,929.71/-), and consequently leaving Nil liquidation value for the Operational Creditors.

12. Under the second limb of section 30(2)(b) of the Code, Section

30(2)(b)(ii), if the 'amount to be distributed' under the Plan were distributed strictly in accordance with the statutory waterfall under

Section 53(1), the Operational Creditors' entitlement would still be Nil.

However, the Resolution Plan provides a 10% payout on admitted claims to Operational Creditors (aggregating ₹24,35,649.80/-), which is in excess of their statutory entitlement. This is consistent with the ratio of the Hon’ble NCLAT in Balaji Minerals and Ors. v. Essar

Power M.P. Ltd., Comp. App. (AT) (Ins) No. 1083 of 2021, which holds that an Operational Creditor cannot assail a Resolution Plan

IA(IBC)(PLAN)/19(CH)2024 In CP(IB) No. 98/Chd/Hry/2022 (Admitted)

where it is paid not less than its statutory entitlement, even if such value is Nil. Thus, Section 30(2)(b) stands fully complied with.

13. Upon a conjoint reading of the Resolution Plan, the compliance table above, Form H, and the two clarificatory addenda dated

21.10.2024 and 10.07.2026, we are satisfied that the Resolution Plan meets the requirements of Section 30(2) of the Code and Regulations

38 and 39 of the CIRP Regulations, that the SRA is eligible under

Section 29A, and that the Plan is feasible and viable.

14. Reliefs which are consequential to the approval of the Plan and fall within the jurisdiction of this Adjudicating Authority shall operate in accordance with the Code and this order. It is clarified that approval of the Resolution Plan shall not be construed as a waiver of any statutory obligation or liability of the Corporate Debtor, and any relief requiring the consent, waiver, exemption or approval of the Central

Government, a State Government, a statutory or sectoral regulator, local authority or other competent authority shall be pursued before the authority concerned, in accordance with law, this Adjudicating

Authority not being empowered to grant the same. Approval of this Plan by the NCLT shall be deemed to be sufficient notice, which may be required to be given to any person for such matter, and no further notice shall be required to be given, in terms of Ghanashyam Mishra and Sons Private Limited v. Edelweiss Asset Reconstruction

Company Limited, (2021) 9 SCC 657.

IA(IBC)(PLAN)/19(CH)2024 In CP(IB) No. 98/Chd/Hry/2022 (Admitted)

15. Pending proceedings of homebuyers/allottees shall be governed by Clause J of the Addendum dated 21.10.2024 (as amended and clarified by the subsequent Addendum dated 10.07.2026).

Accordingly, the right of homebuyers/allottees to keep their complaints, suits, or proceedings in abeyance shall continue until physical possession of their respective units is handed over and the registered sale deeds are executed in their favour by the SRA. The automatic closure of any such proceeding shall take effect only upon the execution and registration of the sale deeds of their respective units, and shall remain subject to appropriate orders of the concerned court, tribunal or forum. Criminal liability, personal liability of persons responsible for offences, and liabilities not capable of extinguishment in law remain unaffected by this order.

16. Nothing in this Order adjudicates upon IA(IBC) No.

1932/CH/2024, a section 66 avoidance Application which is listed before us for the next hearing on 21.09.2026, which is stated to be pending and shall proceed independently on its own merits.

CONCLUSION

17. For the aforesaid reasons and various decisions discussed above, we are of the considered view that the Resolution Plan dated

03.10.2024, read with the Addendum dated 21.10.2024 and the clarification/addendum dated 10.07.2026, submitted by the consortium of Mr. Ghanshyam Garg and M/s Tricon Buildwell Private

Limited, as approved by the COC under Sub-section (4) of Section 30 meets the requirement as referred to in sub-section (2) of Section 30 of Code and thus it is fit case to approve the Plan with required consequential directions.
