  • When the promoter (or someone in the management or control) of a corporate debtor engages in preferential transactions, undervalued transactions, extortionate credit transactions, or fraudulent transactions, this ineligibility comes into effect.

  • RA must declare that he is qualified under Section 29A of the IBC ( Section 30(1) of the IBC),. The RP is required by Section 30(2) to review each Resolution Plan that he receives in order to verify that it, among other things, “does not contravene any of the provisions of the law for the time being in force” (which would also include Section 29A).
  • If the RP approves the Resolution Plan & sends Resolution Plan to the CoC, the Committee of Creditors will decide whether Section 29A applies and, if so, will have the authority to take the appropriate action u/s 30(4).
