👉 NCLT: The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has, on March 18, granted grounded airline Jet Airways another 90 days for resolution under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), CNBC-TV18 reported.
The previous 270-day deadline for Jet Airways ended on March 15. The 90-day extension from the NCLT Mumbai Bench has given the troubled carrier a total of 360 days for resolution. Notably, IBC norms allow for a maximum of 330 days’ time for the process.
On March 12, the Jet Airways' Committee of Creditors (CoC) sought a two-month extension of the deadline for submission of bids from the NCLT.
The CoC, with no potential bidder to come forward, believes it might not get the desired results if it were to go for liquidation of assets at this stage due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns, sources said.
The cash-strapped airline, grounded in April 2019, owes more than Rs 8,000 crore to banks, with those from the public sector having significant exposure.
On June 20, 2019, The NCLT admitted the insolvency petition filed by the lenders' consortium led by State Bank of India (SBI) against Jet Airways. The tribunal has also appointed Ashish Chhauchharia of Grant Thornton as the resolution professional for the crippled airline.
👉 New Delhi: The newly constituted Chennai bench of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) will start taking matters from Wednesday from the premises of the Delhi-based Principal bench, the tribunal said.

The bench would "admit, hear and dispose of such appeals as may be filed after constitution of Chennai Bench w.e.f. 18th March, 2020 in terms of Notification dated March 13, 2020 issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs," the NCLAT said in a notice.
Earlier, the NCLAT had informed that all filing related works for Chennai bench would also be handled at the Delhi-based Principal bench only as it would take around two months to create infrastructure there.
"...it is provided that since Infrastructure as also Human Resources is lacking and raising of the same is likely to consume not less than two months, all filings in respect of Chennai Bench Jurisdiction shall be done at the Principal Bench at New Delhi even after 18th March, 2020 i.e. the date of constitution of the Chennai Bench, till the Bench at Chennai is expected to become functional in all probability in the month of June, 2020," it said.
