NCLAT addressed whether a demand notice in Form B under Rule 7(1) of the Personal Guarantor Rules, 2019, can itself constitute invocation of a guarantee for purposes of filing under Section 95 of the Code. The Tribunal held that a guarantor is a debtor who is a personal guarantor to the corporate debtor and that the financial creditor must invoke the guarantee prior to issuing a Form B demand; a pre-existing default by the guarantor must exist at the time of that notice. Absence of prior invocation meant no default and the adjudicating authority's admission was set aside.
