The Resolution Professional has reported cases of undervalued transactions during resolution process to the Adjudicating Authority. What orders can be passed by the Adjudicating Authority in this regard?

Answer & Explanation:

Section 48 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 lists out the orders that may be passed by the Adjudicating Authority setting aside the transaction at undervalue. According to section 48, the order of the Adjudicating Authority under sub-section (1) of section 45 of the Code may provide for the following: (a) require any property transferred as part of the transaction, to be vested in the corporate debtor; (b) release or discharge (in whole or in part) any security interest granted by the corporate debtor; (c) require any person to pay such sums, in respect of benefits received by such person, to the liquidator or the resolution professional as the case may be, as the Adjudicating Authority may direct; or (d) require the payment of such consideration for the transaction as may be determined by an independent expert.
