Case Laws Insolvency and Bankruptcy SC

Initiation of CIRP - Financial creditor within the meaning of sub-section (7) of Section 5 of the IBC - The Supreme Court affirmed the NCLAT’s judgment, holding that the respondents are financial creditors as their transactions with the corporate debtor involved the disbursement of money against the consideration for the time value of money, thus falling squarely within the definition of financial debt under the IBC. - The decision is pivotal for the interpretation of financial and operational debts in insolvency proceedings. It ensures that entities cannot circumvent the framework of the IBC by merely labeling transactions as service agreements when, in essence, they are financial transactions intended to raise capital.
