Byju’s insolvency: Brothers move court to keep creditors away from ₹158 cr settlement

Byju's suspended directors are contesting a ₹158 crore settlement with the BCCI amid insolvency proceedings. The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) is set to decide if the settlement was made before the Committee of Creditors (CoC) was formed. If favored, Byju's would exit insolvency. Byju's insolvency arose from a sponsorship payment default, causing disputes, particularly with dominant creditor Glas Trust. The case continues in the NCLAT.

The situation arose after Byju's faced insolvency proceedings, initiated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India over sponsorship dues.

Glas Trust Co LLC, the trustee for lenders owed $1.2 billion from Byju’s, has been removed from the committee of creditors by the insolvency resolution professional.

The US lenders have also moved to seek the removal of the insolvency resolution professional. Byju’s had disqualified most of the lenders represented by Glas Trust, citing its right to exclude predatory lenders.
