IBC Section 10-A COVID Moratorium Protection Does Not Cover Defaults Continuing Beyond Specified Period

March 1, 2025

Case Laws IBC HC

HC determined that a petition under IBC Section 10-A was not maintainable where default continued beyond the COVID-19 moratorium period. While Section 10-A prohibits CIRP initiation for defaults occurring between March 25, 2020, and subsequent six months (extendable up to one year), this protection does not extend to continuing defaults beyond the moratorium. The proviso barring future CIRP applications applies strictly to defaults during the specified period. Where default persisted after moratorium expiry, NCLT retained jurisdiction to entertain CIRP petitions. The court rejected the argument that Section 10-A bars proceedings even for continuing defaults and found no jurisdictional error in NCLT entertaining such matters. Petition dismissed, affirming NCLT's authority.
