NCLT Subhash Chandra Case: Rs 22,000 crore is not bank loan write-off, sources on order

Aug 27, 2026

The National Company Law Tribunal approved a repayment plan for Essel Group founder Subhash Chandra. This plan does not signify banks writing off nearly all of Rs 22,000 crore in loans. The Rs 22,006 crore figure represents claims against Chandra as a personal guarantor. Corporate borrowers remain liable for their debts, and creditors retain recovery avenues. This case is an exceptional personal-guarantor resolution, not a corporate debt write-off.
