https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=101967 Section 31B of the RDB Act gives secured creditors priority, through its non-obstante clause, in recovering secured debts from sale of secured assets over all other debts and Government dues, including tax dues. A purchaser of land in a bank auction conducted under a prior security interest therefore takes priority over a VAT charge subsequently recorded by revenue authorities. The earlier High Court decision concerning the same land also made continuation of that charge unsustainable.
