NCLT Stays Subhash Chandra Insolvency Repayment Plan, Bars Asset Transfer

Analysed 2 Sept 2026·210 sources analysed·New Delhi, India·Business
NCLT Stays Subhash Chandra Insolvency Repayment Plan, Bars Asset TransferPreviousNext

A five-member bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has stayed the August 25 order approving Zee Group founder Subhash Chandra's repayment plan in his personal insolvency case, citing no clear majority view. The bench barred Chandra from alienating his assets during proceedings and issued notices to all parties. The plan proposes Rs 6.25 crore repayment against admitted claims of Rs 22,006 crore, facing opposition from dissenting creditors. The matter is also before the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), which has deferred hearings to October 7 amid legal challenges over the bench's constitution.
