Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
The NCLAT held that Compulsory Convertible Debentures (CCDs) issued by the Corporate Debtor constituted a 'financial debt' u/s 5(8) as the transaction involved time value of money. The debenture subscription agreement contemplated redemption and conversion was at the option of the investor. Considering the clauses, the CCDs reflected time value of money, making it a financial debt. The NCLAT dismissed the appeal, upholding the adjudicating authority's order allowing the respondent's application.
