In an exchange filing made late on Wednesday, the Essel Group-owned media company stated that the National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench (NCLT), has pronounced its order dated February 22, 2023, admitting the company to the corporate insolvency resolution process under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in the petition filed by IndusInd Bank against the company under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.
According to media sources, IndusInd Bank has filed a default claim against the media firm for Rs 83.08 crore ($10.04 million). According to reports, Zee is a signatory to the debt service reserve account (DSRA) guarantee arrangement inked up with the private bank for the term loan facility given to another Essel Group company, Siti Networks.
According to reports, the NCLT has chosen temporary resolution professional Sanjay Kumar Jhalani.
According to recent media reports, the corporation has petitioned the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) for review of the bankruptcy court’s judgement authorising the filing of insolvency proceedings against the media company. This is an attempt to rescue the previously proposed merger with Columbia Max Entertainment (CME), as bankruptcy regulations prohibit any transaction until bankruptcy proceedings are resolved, according to the reports.
