NCLAT dismissed the corporate debtor's appeal against admission of a Section 7 application filed by Punjab & Sind Bank. Despite the appellant submitting three settlement plans with different investors, all financial creditors (Punjab & Sind Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, and Punjab National Bank) unanimously rejected these proposals. YEIDA, claiming 751 crores, also opposed settlement. The Tribunal found that given the corporate debtor's substantial liabilities and opposition from homebuyers' associations, resolution through the statutory IBC framework was appropriate rather than settlement. The NCLAT confirmed the Section 7 application was filed within limitation by a duly authorized person and excluded the period from 29.07.2024 until judgment from the CIRP timeline.
