Threshold limit of Rs. 1 cr. will be applicable for application filed u/s 7 or 9 on or after 24.3.3020 even if default is of a date earlier than 24.3.2020 – Jumbo Paper Products Vs. Hansraj Agrofresh Pvt. Ltd. – NCLAT New Delhi

NCLAT upheld decision of the AA where AA had dismissed the CIRP application filed u/s 9 on the basis of notification S.O 1205(E) dated 24.3.2020. NCLAT held that it is seen that notification dated 24.3.2020 makes it unambiguously clear that the threshold limit to be considered for section 9 application will be Rs. 1 crore. This threshold limit will be applicable for application filed u/s 7 or 9 on or after 24.3.3020 even if debt is of a date earlier than 24.3.2020. Since the application under section 9 which is the subject matter of this appeal was filed on 13.9.2020, therefore the threshold limit of Rs. 1 crore of debt will be applicable in the present case.
