      Question

      Section 15(3)(c) of the SARFAESI Act provides a special

      protection to the secured creditor after it takes over management of a borrower company. What does Section 15(3)(c) state?
      A No new loans can be raised by the borrower company after management takeover Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B The secured creditor may sell the borrower company's assets without shareholder approval Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C No proceeding for winding up of the borrower company shall lie in any court except with the consent of the secured creditor Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D The secured creditor becomes the sole owner of the borrower company upon takeover Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E The secured creditor may dissolve the board of directors of the borrower company Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Section 15(3), which applies where the borrower is a company, provides three important consequences upon management takeover: (a) no shareholder can nominate or appoint any director; (b) no resolution passed at any shareholders' meeting is effective unless approved by the secured creditor; and (c) under sub-clause (c), no proceeding for the winding up of the borrower company or for the appointment of a receiver shall lie in any court except with the consent of the secured creditor. This provision ensures that the secured creditor's enforcement action is not derailed by rival insolvency proceedings initiated by other parties. It gives the secured creditor a veto over winding up proceedings during the management takeover period.
