IBC Moratorium Applies Only To Corporate Debtor, Not Subsidiaries, Managers Or Directors: Supreme Court

IBC Moratorium Applies Only To Corporate Debtor, Not Subsidiaries, Managers Or Directors: Supreme Court IBC Moratorium Applies Only To Corporate Debtor, Not Subsidiaries, Managers Or Directors: Supreme Court SC says IBC moratorium cannot shield other respondents. The Supreme Court has held that the moratorium imposed under Section 14 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) during the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) operates only against the corporate debtor and cannot extend to its subsidiary companies, managers, directors, personal guarantors or other respondents. A Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta set aside the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission’s (NCDRC) January 20, 2025 order, which had rejected an application filed by Tejas S Shah, Amisha T Shah and others seeking continuation of consumer proceedings against the remaining respondents, including Mantri Developers Pvt. The consumer complaint was filed in connection with residential apartments booked by the appellants in the ‘Mantri Manyata Energia’ project. They said possession of the apartments was to be handed over on or before December 31, 2018. However, despite substantial payment of the sale consideration and repeated assurances regarding completion of the project, possession was not delivered within the stipulated time. During the pendency of the consumer complaint, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Bengaluru Bench, in 2024 admitted an application under Section 9 of the IBC against Respondent No.1, Mantri Technology Constellations Private Limited, now known as Buoyant Technology Constellations Private Limited. The NCLT consequently initiated CIRP against the company and imposed a moratorium under Section 14 of the IBC.

SIT fast-tracks GST evasion probe into Messi, Argentina team’s 2025 Kerala visit

SIT fast-tracks GST evasion probe into Messi, Argentina team’s 2025 Kerala visit The Kerala Finance Department’s Special Investigation Team (SIT) has expedited its enquiry into the suspected Goods and Services Tax (GST) evasion on foreign remittances made by a private firm ostensibly to secure the presence of the 2021 FIFA World Cup-winning Argentine football team and its iconic captain Lionel Messi for an exhibition match in Kochi in 2025. Officials said the investigation will likely lay the legal groundwork for a sweeping anti-corruption enquiry into the high-profile plan that turned into a fiasco amid a storm of hype and despite the previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) government’s active backing. According to government officials privy to the enquiry ordered by Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan, the SIT, headed by GST Deputy Commissioner C Brijesh, is poised to record statements from the tax enforcers who initially flagged suspected levy dodging in 2025. They said the SIT was reportedly focusing on why the investigation stalled despite GST intelligence flagging the wire transfer of ₹126 crores to a foreign entity through banking channels in 2025, which automatically triggered a service tax obligation of ₹22.68 crore to the State exchequer. The tax enforcers had also issued several notices to the firm, to no avail under the LDF government. Officials said the sponsoring firm, under renewed government scrutiny, belatedly responded to the GST notices in early August. They said the company took the legal defence that it owed no service tax since the event never took place.

4. From GST reform to GCCs: How India can become a $20 trillion economy by 2036

From GST reform to GCCs: How India can become a $20 trillion economy by 2036

From GST reform to GCCs: How India can become a $20 trillion economy by 2036 India could become a $20 trillion economy by 2036 if it manages to raise underlying rupee growth to around 14.2% and sustain annual rupee appreciation of 3-3.6%, according to a research report by domestic brokerage Equirus. The report has proposed a 20-step reform agenda aimed at lifting India's growth trajectory, strengthening the external balance and creating the conditions needed to achieve the ambitious dollar-denominated target. India's economy is currently estimated at around $3.7 trillion. Reaching $20 trillion in the next decade would require the economy to expand roughly 5.5 times and sustain nominal dollar growth of about 18% a year, significantly above its historical trend of around 10-11%, the brokerage said, according to news agency ANI. Services need to drive India's next phase of growth Equirus said the composition of India's growth would be as important as its pace, with services expected to become the main engine of expansion. Services currently account for about 54% of GDP and would need to contribute more than 65% as India moves towards the $20 trillion milestone. The sector's economic output would have to increase from roughly $2 trillion to more than $11 trillion, the report estimated. Manufacturing, meanwhile, could face constraints from a more protectionist global trade environment, while agriculture's share of GDP is expected to decline as urbanisation accelerates.
