flag NCLAT rules that approved insolvency plans, like RCIL’s, cannot be changed post-approval, even by agreeing creditors.

flag The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) ruled that once a resolution plan is approved by the Committee of Creditors (CoC) under India's insolvency law, its financial structure—including fund allocation—cannot be altered, even by assenting creditors. flag In the Reliance Communications Infrastructure Ltd (RCIL) case, NCLAT dismissed Bank of Baroda’s appeal, upholding that post-approval changes, such as reallocating proceeds from the Reliance Bhutan loan, violate the binding nature of the approved plan and cannot bind dissenting creditors. flag The original plan, approved in August 2021 by 67.97% of the CoC, was for a Jio subsidiary to take over RCIL. flag A later 2023 attempt by the CoC to modify fund distribution was deemed invalid, reinforcing the finality and legal certainty of approved resolution plans in insolvency proceedings.
