Before considering the submissions made on behalf of the parties we would like to refer the page 25 of the application in which he mentioned that It is further submitted that upon promulgation of the Insolvency Bankruptcy (Second Amendment) Act, 2018, explanation to Section 5(8)(f) has been added to the IBC, 2016 so as to include any amount raise from an allottee under a real estate project within the purview of financial debt.
