The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has dismissed the appeals filed by BSE, where the leading bourse challenged the power of the NCLT to defreeze the Demat accounts of businesses undergoing insolvency resolution and liquidation process. A two-member NCLAT bench said the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has the jurisdiction under section 60 (5) of the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC) to entertain applications for defreezing of the Demat accounts during insolvency and pass a direction also. "...the impugned orders have been passed in valid exercise of such jurisdiction," the NCLAT said while setting aside the two petitions filed by BSE. BSE had contended that the NCLT does not have any jurisdiction under Section 60 (5) of the IBC Code to adjudicate on the issues, which are within the Securities Law Framework and Sebi Circulars. The issues pertain to two companies - Future Corporate Resources and Liz Traders and Agents - where their Demat accounts were frozen by

Insolvency appellate tribunal NCLAT has exempted IL&FS Group companies -- categorised as 'red' and 'amber' -- from corporate social responsibility (CSR) on account of interest expenses accrued on their loan amount. The order will benefit around 50 'amber' and 'red' companies of the debt-ridden IL&FS Group, which are protected under the moratorium granted by the NCLAT from its order dated October 15, 2018. These 'red' and 'amber' entities have not been accruing interest on their outstanding debts, resulting in such companies showing notional profits in their books of accounts under Section 198 of the Companies Act. Such notional profits have led to such companies liable to comply with CSR obligations under Section 135 of the Act. IL&FS Group moved an application last year before NCLAT to correct this, seeking exemption for entities from compliance with CSR obligations. A notice was issued to the government on the application by IL&FS. A two-member bench, which also ...
The government has moved the appellate tribunal NCLAT, against the order passed by the NCLT, in which it approved a Rs 900 crore resolution plan by Ashdan Properties for the debt-ridden Rolta India. Challenging the approved resolution plan, the centre said only Rs 10 lakh of a token amount has been allocated for the government and the statutory authorities, whereas the Corporate Debtor (Rolta) owed a total sum of Rs 5,949.95 crore. Against admitted government/statutory claims of Rs 179.19 crore, this allocation constitutes an illusory recovery of only 0.06 per cent, said the petition filed by Union of India through Department of Telecommunications (DoT), according to the petition filed by Shashank Bajpai, Central Government standing Counsel. A claim of Rs 469.09 crore has been made by DoT against Rolta India, on account of the unpaid license fee for FY 2005-06 and 2006-07. The Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on December 15, 2025, approved a Rs 900 crore ...
The appellate tribunal NCLAT has dismissed petitions filed by two Dhoot brothers - Rajkumar Nandlal Dhoot and Pradeep Nandlal Dhoot, challenging the initiation of personal insolvency against them over a default committed by debt-ridden Videocon Industries. Personal Insolvency against the Dhoot brothers was initiated after SBI had issued a demand notice of Rs 5,353.78 crore over defaults by Videocon Industries, the principal borrower, for which they were the personal guarantors. A two-member bench of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has upheld the two orders passed by the Mumbai bench of NCLT in June last year, in which it had directed the initiation of insolvency against the duo, brothers of Videocon founder Venugopal Dhoot. The appellate tribunal also rejected their plea that petitions filed by leading public sector SBI, on which the National Company Law Tribunal has directed to initiate insolvency proceedings in their personal capacity, were barred under ...
Global tech giants Meta Platforms Inc. and WhatsApp told the Supreme Court on Monday that they will comply with the NCLAT's directions for extending the Competition Commission of India's (CCI) privacy and consent guidelines to advertising-related data. A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi was hearing appeals filed by the tech giants against the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal's (NCLAT) directions of December last year. The court is also seized of a cross-appeal filed by the CCI, assailing the NCLAT ruling to the extent that it allowed WhatsApp and Meta to continue sharing users' data for advertising purposes. "These applications essentially seek a direction for a stay of the impugned judgment of the NCLAT to the extent it approves the direction issued by the CCI directing Meta to comply with the impugned directions contained in the NCLAT order dated December 15, 2025, containing certain directions issued to Meta," the CJI ...
