Corporate Asset Sale Not Financial Debt: NCLAT Rejects Insolvency Claim Based on Transaction Nature and Section 5(8) Interpretation

May 9, 2025

Case Laws IBC AT

NCLAT held that the transaction between parties was a sale and purchase of assets, not a financial debt under Section 5(8) of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. The amounts transferred were for asset consideration, not disbursed for time value of money. The mere inclusion of 2% monthly interest does not transform the transaction into a financial debt. Consequently, the Adjudicating Authority's order admitting the Section 7 application was set aside, and the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process against the Corporate Debtor was closed.
