The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) last week had approved the revised bid of Aditya Birla group firm UltraTech Cement for debt-ridden Binani Cement.
The NCLAT had approved UltraTech's resolution plan for Binani and rejected the resolution plan submitted by Dalmia Bharat's Rajputana Properties by terming it "discriminatory" and "unbalanced".
UltraTech Cement's revised offer was at Rs 7,900 crore, against its earlier bid of Rs 7,200 crore.
Dalmia has alleged that UltraTech bid, which the lenders were to consider, is ineligible under Section 29A
The Binani Cement case has turned out to be a test of India’s recently implemented Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code
UltraTech had earlier lost out to a Dalmia Bharat-led consortium in bidding for Binani.
The company has alleged that despite binding contracts, some members of the Committee of Creditors (CoC) were trying to go for settlement with promoters of Binani Industries in violation of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and general principles of the rules of law.
"The operational creditors (OCs) dues, in reality, are over Rs 700 crore. The total amount due to the OCs has been wrongly verified by the resolution professionals (RP) as Rs 503.37 crore of which Dalmia offers to pay just Rs 151 crore," Binani Operational Creditors Forum (BOCF) spokesperson Siddharth Tibrewal said in a statement here.
Binani Industries Ltd (BIL) has received an offer from the Aditya Birla group firm UltraTech to transfer its 98.43 percent stake in BCL for Rs 7,266 crore.
A meeting of the Committee of Creditors has been called on April 4 to consider the NCLT order, CoC sources said.
Binani Industries will use the funds to pay off Binani Cement's creditors, including the unsecured ones.
"All the details are in the data room. The fraud is nothing to do with the sale. If the offer is proper, the tribunal can consider it," a counsel on behalf of the CoC said before the NCLT, according to a source close to one of the bidders.
UltraTech Cement CFO Atul Daga added that the company is "committed to honour" the amount which it has offered.
The Resolution professional (RP) Vijaykumar V Iyer has moved the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), alleging suspect and fraudulent transactions in Binani carried out by an independent forensic auditor.
The IBC resolution process has been very efficient and transparent, said Mahendra Singhi, Group CEO-Cement, Dalmia Bharat.
Binani Cement's resolution professional alleged that the promoters diverted funds that affected the company's working capital provisions.
Besides, the group has also submitted a performance bank guarantee (PBG) of 10 per cent of upfront payment of its offer to the financial creditors of BCL, Dalmia Bharat Ltd said in an update filed to the exchanges.
UltraTech had said that Binani Industries Ltd (BIL) - the promoter firm of BCL - had approached it for arranging funds to pay off the lenders.
The move is intended to block lenders decision to hand over Binani to Dalmia Bharat
The Dalmia Bharat Cement is set to acquire Binani Cement as the consortium has received final approval from the Committee of Creditors (CoC) to acquire the firm for Rs 6,700 crore, which includes a capital infusion of Rs 400 crore
