Details of Resolution Plan
Brief About Corporate Debtor
- The CD i.e. KVIR Towers Pvt. Ltd. bearing CIN U70200DL2013PTC255199 was incorporated on 11.07.2013 (as a Company Limited by Shares, Non Govt. Company) having its registered office at G-06, Ground Floor, Plot No. SU LSC B-Block RG City Centre, Lawrence Road, New Delhi 110035 India. The Authorized Capital of CD is Rs. 5,00,000 and Paid Up Capital is Rs. 1,00,000. The CD is a part of RG Group and is registered as micro enterprise in terms of the Udyam Registration Certificate dated 31 May 2022 having registration no. UDYAM-DL-06-0047979 issued by the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises.

- The CD has ascertained the cause of default which is mentioned at Clause 12.1 of Part 1, to be:
a. Covid-19 Pandemic b. The purchasing power of the citizens had drastically come down. Higher Vacancy rate could be observed. People were not able to feed their basic needs, purchasing or making payments for purchasing houses was far away.
c. The Corporate Debtor could not remain untouched as the Principal Debtor, RG Residency Pvt. Ltd. for whom the Corporate Debtor stood guarantor was not able to sell the inventory during that period. Besides this, the Corporate Debtor also could not launch its project at Sector-1 of Greater Noida West due to paucity of funds and environmental conditions.
d. Non-sale of inventory and poor collection for more than two years had overburdened the Principal Debtor, RG Residency Pvt. Ltd., with the additional financial cost of interest on loan and land dues. Other routine expenses could not be avoided. This has led to making default in repayment of loan dues and land dues to respective creditors.
e. Due to paucity of the funds, the land dues of the Noida Authority and loan could not be served by the Principal Debtor RG Residency Pvt. Ltd. in terms of lease deed/re-schedulement and of sanction respectively. Due to default made in the repayment of credit facility in terms of loan sanction letter and loan document by the Principal Debtor RG Residency Pvt Ltd, the Secured Financial Creditor Pridhvi Asset Reconstruction and Securitisation Company Limited had served the notice of default to the Principal Debtor and notice of invocation of Guarantee to the Corporate Debtor as well.
7
f. The Corporate Debtor could not launch its project as the Greater Noida Authority could not handover the entire project land to the Corporate Debtor so far. This has resulted into the overburden over the Corporate Debtor and delay in payment of land dues to Greater Noida Authority.

Note: Further the Applicant omits Clause 6.7.1 of the plan and thereby
undertakes to perform all the obligations by itself.
Analysis & Findings
a. It is relevant to mention herein that this Adjudicating Authority vide Admission
Order dated 20.02.2024, directed that the “RP and COC would be responsible
to check whether the Corporate Debtor should receive the benefits of being
categorized as “Micro Enterprise”. In the event of CD losing its status of Micro
Enterprise at a later point of time on account of turnover from operations being
above the threshold limit, the RP will report to this Adjudicating Authority for
appropriate orders as per law.” It is stated by the applicant that the COC was
apprised of the same and it is confirmed that the CD is registered as Micro
Enterprise.
Again in our clarification order dated 25.09.2024 it was stated as follows:
18
(sic: micro)
In response the applicant has clarified in the affidavit dated 25.10.2024 as follows:
19
20
However, it is observed from the Financial Projections/Business Plan
submitted by the Applicant that the turnover of the CD year wise for next 4
years is as follows:
Year
Quarters
Total Revenue
Year 1
Q2+Q3+Q4+Q5
(+38.22+59.95+77.37)
Rs. 175.54 crores
Year 2
Q6+Q7+Q8+Q9
(+57.91+72.67+102.56+92.69)
Rs. 325.83 crores
Year 3
Q10+Q11+Q12+Q13
(+93.44+111.24+108.09+157.87)
Rs. 470.64 Crores
Year 4
Q14+Q15+Q16+Q17
(+137.46+90.85+28.82+6.51)
Rs. 263.64 crores
(Note: Quarter1 is to start from 60 days from the Order and Q1 Revenue is NIL)
21
This will breach the threshold limit in 2nd year, 3rd year, 4th year as applicable to obtain the status of MSME, which will ultimately lead to CD losing its status of being MSME. Since the Resolution Plan has been approved by the single member COC with 100% voting majority and there is no objection raised by any stakeholder including G. Noida, we are inclined to accept the clarification of the CD.
b. We may further mention that in our Admission Order dated 20.02.2024, we had stated:
However no response/ steps has been taken by the concerned ministry.
22
c. On hearing the submissions made by the Ld. Counsel for the Resolution Professional and perusing the record, we find that the Resolution Plan has been approved by the CoC with 100% of the members voting in favor of the Resolution Plan. As per the CoC in their commercial wisdom, the Plan meets the requirement of being a viable and feasible revival of the Corporate Debtor. We accept the same. d. The reliefs and concession as sought for in the plan under clause 10 of the Resolution Plan shall be dealt by appropriate authorities strictly as per law. Thus, it is ordered that the reliefs, concessions and waivers as sought by the Successful Resolution Applicant will be dealt with strictly as per law. e. On perusal of the documents on record, we are satisfied that the Resolution Plan is in accordance with Sections 30 read with regulations 45 of the PPIRP Regulations,2021.
