Subhash Chandra's proposed repayment plan involves paying ₹6.25 crore to creditors against admitted claims of ₹22,006.57 crore. [^1]

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has constituted a five-member bench to decide the personal insolvency case against Zee Group founder Subhash Chandra after a two-member bench failed to reach a majority opinion on his repayment plan. [^2]

Creditors, including HDFC Bank and LIC Housing Finance, have challenged the repayment plan, arguing that it underrepresents the recoverable amount and raises concerns over the voting process involving related entities. [^3]

The bench stated that there was no clear majority view on the repayment plan as per Section 419(5) of the Companies Act, 2013. [^4]

The five-member special bench headed by Anupinder Singh Grewal stayed the order and restrained Subhash Chandra from alienating his assets directly or indirectly. [^5]

Dissenting lenders have challenged the repayment plan at the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), where the solicitor general sought time to decide on the appeal. [^6]
