Dissenting Financial Creditors are required to be paid only such amounts as would have been paid to them in case of liquidation of the Corporate Debtor, as per Section 30 of the Code, the Dissenting Financial Creditors shall be paid before payments are made to the Financial Creditors, who voted in favour of the Resolution Plan. Accordingly, the Dissenting Financial Creditors shall be paid the Liquidation Value accruing to them in accordance with the Code. The Dissenting Secured Financial Creditor Debt and the Dissenting Unsecured Financial Creditor Debt shall respectively be restructured and recorded at fair value on the books of the Corporate Debtor and extinguished and written-off. Under this Resolution Plan, each of the Dissenting Financial Creditors shall be paid amounts as have been Set out in Schedule 1 (Financial Proposal) of this Resolution Plan, in accordance with the Code (including waterfall and payment priority set out in Section 30, 52, 53 of the Code, and Regulation 38 of the IBBI (CIRP) Regulations).

3.3.2.

The source of funds for payment of the abovementioned dues shall be the funds infused in the Corporate Debtor, and any other source specified in Schedule 1 (Financial Proposal) of the Resolution Plan. Following the restructuring or payment of the Dissenting Secured Financial Creditor Debt (as the case may be), and extinguishment of the Dissenting Unsecured Financial Creditor Debt, no additional dues shall be payable to such Financial Creditors in accordance with this Resolution Plan. It is clarified that no additional amounts shall be payable to the Dissenting Financial Creditors, whether or not set out in the Information Memorandum, balance sheets or the profit and loss account statements of the Corporate Debtor.

3.3.3.

Given that the claims of the Financial Creditors amount to INR 1,696.36 Crores Crores , based on our assessment, the Liquidation Value is likely to be even insufficient to satisfy in full the debt owed to the Financial Creditors in the event of liquidation of the Corporate Debtor, any and all rights and entitlements of any actual or potential Dissenting Financial Creditors of the Corporate Debtor (including any person who may claim to be such a creditor by way of exercise of rights under Applicable Laws or equity), whether admitted or not, due or contingent, asserted or unasserted, unknown, disputed or undisputed, present or future, in relation to any period prior to the Effective Date, shall be deemed to be permanently extinguished by virtue of the order of the NCLT approving this Resolution Plan. The Corporate Debtor and the Resolution Applicant shall at no point of time, directly or indirectly, have any obligation, liability or duty in relation thereto. All dues owed to Dissenting Financial Creditors shall be taken to be restructured on the NCLT Approval Date and deemed to be settled fully and finally on the Effective Date. No Dissenting Financial Creditor shall bring, initiate or issue any notices, suits, claims, disputes, litigations, arbitrations or other judicial, regulatory or administrative proceedings against, the Corporate Debtor for recovery of, or in relation to, the Dissenting Secured Financial Creditor Debt and/or the Dissenting Unsecured Financial Creditor Debt or any claims (whether admitted or unadmitted).

3.4. Treatment of Dues to Workmen and Employees

3.4.1.

As per the information and documents provided by the Resolution Professional, workmen and employee claims aggregating to INR 0 have been submitted for the purpose of CIRP by the Resolution Professional.

3.4.2.

As a consequence, amount payable to workmen and employees would be NIL.

3.4.3.

Following the approval of the Resolution Plan by the NCLT, any and all claims or demands made by, or liabilities or obligations owed or payable to, (including any demand for any losses or damages, or interest, back wages, compensation, penal interest, liquidated damages already accrued/ accruing or in connection with any third party claims, or any claims made by any person who may claims to be a creditor by way of exercise of rights under Applicable Laws or equity) any present or past, direct or indirect, permanent or temporary employee and/or workman of the Corporate Debtor, whether admitted or not, due or contingent, asserted or unasserted, crystallized or uncrystallized, known or unknown, secured or unsecured, disputed or undisputed, present or future, whether or not set out in the Information Memorandum, the balance sheets of the Corporate Debtor or the profit and loss account statements of the Corporate Debtor, in relation to any period prior to the Effective Date pursuant to this Resolution Plan, will be written off full and shall be, and be deemed to be, permanently extinguished with effect from the NCLT Approval Date by virtue of the order of the NCLT approving this Resolution Plan. The Corporate Debtor or the Resolution Applicant shall at no point of time be, directly or indirectly, held responsible or liable in relation thereto.

3.5. Treatment of Dues to Governmental Authorities

3.5.1.

As per the Information Memorandum and the information provided by the Resolution Professional, the total dues payable to Governmental Authorities aggregate to NIL amounts (“Governmental Authority Dues”). As per the Code, Governmental Authorities (being Operational Creditors) are required to be paid such amounts as would have been payable to such Governmental Authority in case of liquidation of the Corporate Debtor. However, based on our assessment, the liquidation value of the Corporate Debtor will be insufficient to satisfy the claims of even the Secured Financial Creditors in full and therefore will likely be insufficient for payment of dues payable to the Governmental Authorities in accordance with the provisions of the Code. Accordingly, the Governmental Authorities shall be paid the liquidation value accruing to them, i.e. Nil amounts, except in cases where the any other amounts are payable in accordance with the Code. As a consequence, in the present case, except for the mandatory payments that accrue to any Governmental Authority, all dues payable to Governmental Authorities shall be written off in full and shall be, and be deemed to be, permanently extinguished as on the NCLT Approval Date or such other date as may be agreed. Notwithstanding anything contained herein and without prejudice to the rights of the Corporate Debtor, it is clarified that the Resolution Applicant reserve the right to enter into one-time settlement arrangements with certain Governmental Authorities if considered necessary by the Resolution Applicant.

3.5.2.

Accordingly, and in accordance with the above:

3.5.2.1.

All claims or demands made by, or liabilities or obligations owed or payable to or assessed by, any Governmental Authority, in relation to any dues, direct or indirect taxes, duties (including stamp duties), penalties, fees, interest, fines, levies, cesses, assessments or additions or any other charges or payments whatsoever (including without limitation, the direct and indirect tax liabilities) on the Corporate Debtor or in relation to the Corporate Debtor, whether or not such claims or demands are admitted, due or contingent, asserted or unasserted, crystallized or uncrystallized, known or unknown, secured or unsecured, disputed or undisputed, present or future; and

3.5.2.2.

Any liabilities in relation to any consent, permission, privilege, entitlement, exemption, benefit, license or approval granted to the Corporate Debtor, or in relation to the Corporate Debtor, whether or not such consent, permission, privilege, entitlement, exemption, benefit, license or approval is subsisting, lapsed or expired, whether or not such claim, demand, liability is set out in the Information Memorandum, the balance sheets or the profit and loss account statements of the Corporate Debtor, in relation to any period prior to the Effective Date, will be written off in full and shall be, and be deemed to be, permanently extinguished by virtue of the order of the NCLT approving this Resolution Plan and the Corporate Debtor, or the Resolution Applicant shall at no point of time be, directly or indirectly, held responsible or liable in relation thereto.

In accordance with the Code, the Other Creditors shall be paid the Liquidation Value accruing to such Other Creditors. Given that the claims of the Financial Creditors amount to INR 1,696.36 Crores, based on our assessment, the Liquidation Value will likely be even insufficient to satisfy the claims of the Financial Creditors in full. In that case, the Liquidation Value accruing to Other Creditors would be NIL Accordingly, Nil payment has been proposed under this Resolution Plan towards claims of Other Creditors.

“The following ongoing litigation is mentioned in the Information Memorandum (IM)

1.

Electroparts (India) Pvt. Ltd. & Ors. Vs Veena Investments Pvt. Ltd. &Ors. before the Delhi High Court

The Company is one of the Plaintiffs in the said case. The Company had provided a pledge of shares and a corporate guarantee in respect of a transaction involving an advance against purchase of shares of Dish TV Limited pursuant to a share purchase agreement. The Defendants in the case, as is claimed by the Company, wrongfully terminated the share purchase agreement and have thereafter acquired the shares in Dish TV Limited through a fraudulent exercise of their rights under the share pledge agreement. The Defendants have further sought to make certain claims under the corporate guarantee provided by the Company. The Company had approached the Delhi High Court seeking to restrain the Defendants from taking any further actions under the said corporate guarantee. The Delhi High Court has passed an interim order of status quo in respect of the to be allotted shares in Dish TV Limited, which were to be allotted to the Company pursuant to a NCLT approved Scheme of Merger between Dish TV Limited and the erstwhile Videocon D2H Limited, and in respect of which claim had been made under the corporate guarantee.

2.

Dome-bell Electronics India Private Limited & Ors. Vs Dish Tv India Limited & Ors. before the Bombay High Court

The Company is one of the Plaintiffs in the said case. The Company had provided a pledge of shares in Videocon D2H Limited held by it, and a corporate guarantee in respect of non-convertible debentures issued by Goldenarch Digital Solutions Private Limited. It is the Company’s case that the Defendants acting in collusion, did not allot shares in Dish TV Limited, which were to be allotted to the Company pursuant to a NCLT approved Scheme of Merger between Dish TV Limited and the erstwhile Videocon D2H Limited. The non allotment rendered the non-convertible debentures issued by Goldenarch Digital Solutions Private Limited unsecured and thereby resulted in an engineered event of default. The Company had approached the Bombay High Court seeking to restrain the Defendants from taking any further actions pursuant to the engineered event of default in respect of the non convertible debentures and particularly under the share pledge agreement and the corporate guarantee.”

“The following ongoing litigation is mentioned in the Information Memorandum (IM)

1.

Electroparts (India) Pvt. Ltd. & Ors. Vs Veena Investments Pvt. Ltd. &Ors. before the Delhi High Court

The Company is one of the Plaintiffs in the said case. The Company had provided a pledge of shares and a corporate guarantee in respect of a transaction involving an advance against purchase of shares of Dish TV Limited pursuant to a share purchase agreement. The Defendants in the case, as is claimed by the Company, wrongfully terminated the share purchase agreement and have thereafter acquired the shares in Dish TV Limited through a fraudulent exercise of their rights under the share pledge agreement. The Defendants have further sought to make certain claims under the corporate guarantee provided by the Company. The Company had approached the Delhi High Court seeking to restrain the Defendants from taking any further actions under the said corporate guarantee. The Delhi High Court has passed an interim order of status quo in respect of the to be allotted shares in Dish TV Limited, which were to be allotted to the Company pursuant to a NCLT approved Scheme of Merger between Dish TV Limited and the erstwhile Videocon D2H Limited, and in respect of which claim had been made under the corporate guarantee.

2.

Dome-bell Electronics India Private Limited & Ors. Vs Dish Tv India Limited & Ors. before the Bombay High Court

The Company is one of the Plaintiffs in the said case. The Company had provided a pledge of shares in Videocon D2H Limited held by it, and a corporate guarantee in respect of non-convertible debentures issued by Goldenarch Digital Solutions Private Limited. It is the Company’s case that the Defendants acting in collusion, did not allot shares in Dish TV Limited, which were to be allotted to the Company pursuant to a NCLT approved Scheme of Merger between Dish TV Limited and the erstwhile Videocon D2H Limited. The non allotment rendered the non-convertible debentures issued by Goldenarch Digital Solutions Private Limited unsecured and thereby resulted in an engineered event of default. The Company had approached the Bombay High Court seeking to restrain the Defendants from taking any further actions pursuant to the engineered event of default in respect of the non convertible debentures and particularly under the share pledge agreement and the corporate guarantee.”

In the event, the Corporate Debtor is successful in the aforesaid disputes, or if the same are settled, it may receive the shares of Dish TV Ltd.

The Resolution Applicant proposes that in the event shares of Dish TV Ltd are allotted in favour of the Corporate Debtor, the same will be distributed to the Financial Creditors of the Corporate Debtor (as they stand on the date of NCLT’s approval of this Resolution Plan) as per their respective voting percentage on the Committee of Creditors.

In case of creditors kept in abeyance are admitted by high court; the consideration distributed among existing financial creditors will be called back in proportion to meet the liability of such creditors.

The aforesaid distribution of shares is completely contingent upon the outcome of the disputes / litigations listed above. The Resolution Applicant will not be liable to make any payments / distribution of shares of “Dish TV” in the event the same are not allotted in favour of the Corporate Debtor.

Partial shares will be rounded up. After this equity structure of the Corporate Debtor would be as follows:

No. of SharesFace valueTotal Share CapitalPercentage
2,5001002,50,000100 %

2,5001002,50,000100%
iii.

After the proposed equity share write off and share consolidation, the shares held by the erstwhile promoters and promoter group would be written off to 0.

iv.

Simultaneously with the write off of the shares held by the erstwhile promoters and promoter group,2,500 fresh shares of INR 100 face value will be issued. These fresh shares will be subscribed to by the Resolution Applicant.

Also demand for durables like refrigerators as well as consumer electronic goods are likely to witness growing demand in the coming years in the rural markets as the government plans to invest significantly in rural electrification.

Under Budget 2018-19, the government retained its focus on rural economy by continuing the pro-poor and pro-farmer schemes. Growing awareness, easier access, and changing lifestyles have been the key growth drivers for the consumer market. The Government of India's policies and regulatory frameworks such as relaxation of license rules and approval of 51 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand and 100 per cent in single-brand retail are some of the major growth drivers for the consumer market.

Several multinational brands have already made an entry in the Indian ACE market and few other are evaluating the same keenly as the Indian growth story looks very attractive for the Chinese and other far eastern manufacturer companies.

The advantage of being present in the ACE market in India is as under:
