NCLAT dismissed the appeal challenging rejection of a CIRP petition, holding that the appellant is not a "Financial Creditor" under the IBC. Examining the Reseller Agreement, the Tribunal found no disbursement of money as a loan, no obligation of repayment with interest, and no element of time value of money as required under Section 5(8) IBC. The arrangement was characterized as a commercial collaboration and revenue-sharing model linked to resale of goods on an online platform, with contingent, profit-based returns rather than assured interest. The Tribunal held the alleged debt does not qualify as "financial debt"; consequently, the insolvency proceedings were not maintainable and the appeal was rejected.
