RP Can’t Obtain MSME Certificate Just To Enable Back-Door Entry Of Promoter/Suspended Management Of Corporate Debtor: NCLT Delhi

Live Law  

The National Company Law Tribunal, New Delhi Bench, comprising of Shri Ashok Kumar Bhardwaj and Shri L.N. Gupta, while adjudicating a petition filed in M/s Hi-Tech Resource Management Limited v M/s Overnite Express Limited, has held that neither Section 25 nor Section 28 of IBC empowers the Resolution Professional or CoC to obtain an MSME Certificate to enable the back door entry of the defaulting Promoter/Suspended Management into the Corporate Debtor, who are otherwise barred under Section 29A of IBC to submit the EOI/Resolution Plan. However, Section 240A of IBC states that the prohibition under Section 29A would be inapplicable to a Promoter/Suspended Management of a Corporate Debtor registered as a MSME. It was concluded that neither Section 25 nor Section 28 of IBC empowers the Resolution Professional or CoC to obtain an MSME Certificate to enable the back door entry of the defaulting Promoter/Suspended Management into the Corporate Debtor, who are otherwise barred under Section 29A of IBC to submit the EOI/Resolution Plan. Further, under the garb of fixing the criteria for the intending Prospective Resolution Applicants, the RP cannot assume the role of a “Facilitator” to enable the Defaulter Promoter/ Suspended Board of Director/ Ex-Management to submit the EOI/Resolution Plan by abusing the provisions contained under Section 240A of IBC 2016.” It was held that the benefit of Section 240A of IBC can only be availed by a genuine MSME Enterprise, whose registration or MSME Certification is done prior to the commencement of CIRP of a Corporate Debtor.
