NCLT Stays Subhash Chandra's Personal Guarantee Repayment Plan Amid Large Loan Claims
The ongoing legal dispute involving Essel Group founder Subhash Chandra centers on his personal guarantees for corporate loans linked to his firms. The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) recently stayed a Rs 6.25 crore repayment plan and barred Chandra from transferring assets amid claims exceeding Rs 22,000 crore. Personal guarantees, defined under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code and Indian Contract Act, hold guarantors liable for corporate debts upon default. Recovery rates on such guarantees remain low, highlighting challenges in enforcing promoter liabilities.
