63 Moons to challenge NCLT nod to Piramal’s DHFL buy

The NCLAT has refused to stay the resolution plan.

63 Moons holds over ₹200 crore of NCDs of DHFL. It had earlier said the current resolution plan is disappointing for NCD holders.

“Other members of the Committee of Creditors, who comprise mainly of banks, have recourse to personal guarantees of promoters whereas NCD holders do not have any such contractual recourse,” it further said, adding that NCD holders will be left high and dry with haircut of 65 per cent to 75 per cent if in future such recoveries from fraudulent transactions are allowed to pass through to the resolution applicants, instead of the creditors,” it had earlier said.
