NCLT Holds Financial Lease With Transfer Of Ownership & Interest For Default As “Financial Debt”, Admits GDA's Claim As “Financial Creditor”

Live Law  

The NCLT, New Delhi, Principal bench comprising Justice Ramalingam Sudhakar and Avinash K. Srivastava has allowed the claim of Ghaziabad Development Authority as a financial creditor in the Red Mall case and directed its inclusion in the Committee of Creditors. The claim was rejected by the Resolution Professional who held GDA as an Operational creditor in view of the judgment of the Supreme Court in G.NOIDA v. Prabhjit Singh Soni & Anr. The tribunal observed that a financial lease with the transfer of ownership at the end of the lease period and interest for default specified in the agreement falls within the definition of “financial debt” under Section 5 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. The Interim Resolution Professional rejected the claim in an email dated 18.04.2022, categorizing GDA as an 'operational creditor' instead of a 'financial creditor'.
