Claims and dues not included in the resolution plan approved by the NCLT stand extinguished

Last updated: 31 December 2025

Quick Summary

The GSTAT Delhi has ruled that once a resolution plan is approved by the NCLT under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), any claims or dues not included in that plan are extinguished. This means a Resolution Applicant cannot be held liable for unquantified Input Tax Credit (ITC) benefits that were not passed on by the previous company. The decision effectively closes anti-profiteering proceedings against the company in such circumstances, reinforcing the 'fresh slate' principle for new owners.
