Under Section 19(20), within how many days from the conclusion of hearings must the Tribunal pass its interim or final order?

Section 19(20) (substituted by the 2016 Amendment) provides that the Tribunal may, after giving the applicant and the defendant an opportunity of being heard in respect of all claims, set-off or counter-claims, and interest, within thirty days from the date of conclusion of the hearings, pass interim or final orders as it deems fit. The order may include a direction for payment of interest from the date on which payment of the amount was found due up to the date of realisation or actual payment. The 30-day period from conclusion of hearings is a firm legislative prescription to prevent reserved-judgment delays, a key feature of the speedy recovery framework.
