If the default occurs during the period specified in the section 10A of IBC, an application under section 7 of IBC cannot be filed – Yes Bank Ltd. Vs. Laxmi Oil and Vanaspati Pvt. Ltd. – NCLT Allahabad Bench
The Adjudicating Authority observed that there is no basis for determining the date of default as 28.02.2020. As noted, that loan recall notice has been issued on 27.08.2020, which falls in the period as specified u/s 10A of IBC, 2016. Hence, said date of default, in our view, has been fixed, just to circumvent the implications of the said section because if the default occurs during the period specified in the said section, an application under section 7 of IBC cannot be filed. Unless a loan recall notice is given or the date of default can be determined in a specific manner in terms of any guidelines given by the RBI, the Financial Creditor cannot be allowed to treat any date as date of default just because such a course would suit it.
