Dear DHFL Victims,
Nearly four days ago, we found the following report on the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI):
Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board clampdown on personal guarantors in bid to bolster creditor rights VIEW HERE ⤡ (As reported on 24th June, 2024 ©Telegraph)
In the report, it was said that:
“This lacuna in the system is underscored by the dismal recovery rate of merely 2.16 per cent for creditors from PGs under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), according to the IBBI.
Seeking to bridge this gap and strengthen the CIRP process, the IBBI has invited stakeholder feedback by July 10 on a series of proposals.”
Since we had already made our voices clear on the IBC (2016) in our previous posts, we proceeded to find the portal to lodge the public comments with the help of the following PDF Guide:
The portal is given as follows:

We have already lodged the following comment:
I, as a deranged FD Holder of the Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL), have faced all the options mentioned in the “Select Comment Option” with regard to the functioning of the IBC (2016). The Code has been amended multiple times, which points to its inherent shortcomings. I have suffered from huge haircuts on my invested amount. The problems in this context are:
1. There are incommensurabilities of the provisions of the Code with other existent laws, viz., the Indian Contract Act, the Recovery of debts due to Banks and Financial Institution Act 1993, the Securitizations and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act (SARFAESI), 2002, the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 (SICA), the RBI Act. There are several inconsistencies within the Code as well, Cf. URLs given below.
2. The RBI took the DHFL case as a “test case” for legitimizing the IBC, since the DHFL was not supposed to go into the IBC as a solvent, ongoing AAA-rated concern. It is a violent state of laboratory where the guinea pigs are the DHFL FD and NCD Holders.
3. Certain DHFL victims had smelled the rat in the biased and prejudiced RBI-appointed CoC for DHFL’s resolution process as pointed out by the Hon’ble NCLAT on an order dated 27.01.2022 in response to 63 Moons’ case that found several material irregularities in the exercise of the powers of the resolution professionals of DHFL as well as “contrary to law” areas in the “approved” resolution plan of Mr. Ajay Piramal’s PCHFL that ignores the Section 66 of the IBC that provides for the benefit of all the creditors. The Hon’ble NCLT earlier in 19.05.2021 had requested the DHFL-CoC to reconsider the erstwhile promoters’ settlement proposal that guaranteed full repayment, but the same was ignored by the DHFL-CoC and PCHFL. The DHFL-CoC totally lacked transparency during the CIRP. The DHFL-CoC claimed that if the NCLT verdict was given its way, it would set up a “bad precedent” for insolvency processes in the forthcoming years. However, whether it be good or bad— we must call spade a spade.
4. The resolution process under the IBC is too lengthy and expensive. The expenses are taken from the victims; even if there would be any future litigation against the CoC, the CoC professionals would defend themselves against the victims’ demands by utilizing the allotted money that has been extracted from the victims’ blood itself.
5. It seems to me that the IBC has been placed for effectuating an organized loot in favour of the chosen few crony business tycoons in a predetermined way. Moreover, as it was thought that the IBC is an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and autonomous Code, on the contrary, the de facto is that it is far from being the case. The Code is verily subject to two quasi-judicial bodies and the apex court of law.
After suffering since 2019, I demand that the ill-conceived IBC should be scrapped to uphold the business-related human rights (as recognized by the UN) of the small depositors like us. My financially abused condition goes against Article 21, since my Rights to Life and Liberty are infringed.

I am being one of more than one lakh WORST SUFFERER DHFL FIXED DEPOSIT & NCD HOLDERS & scam victims which caused due to ill conceived IBC law which was implemented (with more than 35 modifications) whimsically WITHOUT considering adverse impacts and effects on poor innocent DHFL FD/NCD HOLDERS who lost almost entire invested amount in AAA rated housing finance company STRONGLY RECOMMEND for SCRAPPING ILL CONCEIVED INSOLVENCY & BANKRUPTCY CODE (IBC) – 2016.
In our country all citizens have been given freedom to exercise certain rights but WITHOUT HARMING or infringing others rights (as explained below).
The phrase “use your right so as not to injure the rights of others” encapsulates the concept of exercising one’s own rights in a responsible and mindful manner to ensure that the rights of others are not violated or harmed in the process. It emphasizes the importance of balancing individual freedoms with the well-being and rights of the broader community.
Here’s a breakdown of this concept:
In essence, the phrase serves as a reminder that while individuals have the freedom to exercise their rights, they should do so in a way that respects the rights and well-being of others. It promotes a sense of shared responsibility and consideration for the rights of all individuals in a community or society.
You are therefore requested to scrap IBC Code 2016 to enable all of us to enjoy our right to get back our hard earned invested money in DHFL Fixed Deposits/NCDs.
