The Applicant had paid the invoices raised upon Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd. against the Corporate Debtor and the payment of the same was to by the Applicant. There is acknowledgment of debt since the Corporate Debtor had paid the interest to the Applicant in the past as evidenced from the TDS entries appearing in form 26AS u/s 194A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, of deduction of tax at source on interest, and this fact is also evidenced from a letter dated 01.03.2016 written by the Corporate Debtor to the Applicant certifying that an amount of Rs. 9.46 Crores as due and payable by the Corporate Debtor to the Applicant on 29.3.2017 wherein the Applicant has also sought confirmation of the balance amount of Rs. The Tribunal observed that the substance of a transaction is important rather than its form, and accounting entries can not determine the character and nature of a transaction Further, the evidence presented demonstrates that money was advanced by the Applicant which was repayable along with interest in the form of realization from MSEDCL, and in case of default, the same was to be repaid by the Corporate Debtor, The NCLT also pointed out that Section 5 of the IBC includes “receivables sold or discounted other than any receivables sold on the nonrecourse basis” under the definition of financial debt.
