IBC | Financial Creditor Can Submit Claim Even If There Is No Default Of Debt : Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has observed a default is not necessary for a debt to become a financial debt under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. A bench comprising Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice Augustine George Masih held that under Section 5 of the IBC, any person to whom financial debt is owed becomes a Financial Creditor even if there is no default in payment of debt. Addressing this argument, the Court observed : "There is no requirement incorporated therein that a debt becomes financial debt only when default occurs. Under Section 5 of the IBC, any person to whom financial debt is owed becomes a Financial Creditor even if there is no default in payment of debt.
