      Question

      Section 13(4) of the SARFAESI Act lists the measures

      available to a secured creditor after the 60-day notice period expires. Which of the following is NOT one of the measures enumerated under Section 13(4)?
      A Take possession of the secured assets Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Take over management of the borrower's business Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C File a winding-up petition before NCLT Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Appoint a manager to manage the secured assets Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Require persons owing money to the borrower to pay the secured creditor Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 13(4) enumerates four specific measures: (a) taking possession of secured assets including the right to transfer by lease, assignment or sale; (b) taking over management of the borrower's business; (c) appointing a manager to manage the possessed assets; and (d) requiring persons from whom money is due to the borrower to pay the secured creditor directly. Filing a winding-up petition before the NCLT is not a measure under Section 13(4) - that is governed separately under the Companies Act and IBC. The SARFAESI measures are self-help remedies available without court intervention, which is the distinct feature of this Act.
