Rs. 13.20 crores disbursed to the corporate debtor was held to constitute 'financial debt' under Section 5(8)(f) of the IBC because the agreement required repayment and a 50% share of project profit as consideration, giving the transaction the commercial effect of a borrowing; outcome: treated as financial debt. The creditor established default when the corporate debtor terminated the agreement and failed to refund the disbursed amounts; outcome: debt became due and default occurred. Pendency of arbitral proceedings did not bar initiation or admission of a CIRP petition where debt and default are otherwise made out; outcome: Section 7 admission affirmed.
