Existence of financial debt was affirmed where original loan was sanctioned by a bank and subsequently assigned to an ARC, reflected in the corporate debtor's audited accounts and supporting security documents, so debt and default were established for Section 7 admission.

Procedural defects-authorization, inadequate stamping, non-service on Information Utility-were treated as curable when cured during proceedings and did not defeat admission. Electronic records and bank statements were admissible at admission stage without a Section 65B certificate, and allegations of mala fides were unsustainable on the record.
