Meanwhile, in May 2021, the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) granted IDBI Bank's petition to initiate Insolvency and Bankruptcy proceedings against Wizcraft International Entertainment Private Limited for failing to pay around Rs 60 crore, an amount that the original loan borrower, Great Indian Nautanki Company Private Limited (GINCL), had failed to pay.
The bank claimed that Wizcraft, as the corporate guarantor for the loan it gave to GINCL, had given an "unconditional and unrecoverable" Corporate Guarantee, promising to pay any amounts due by the borrower — GINCL — without delay upon demand.
