Rajesh Exports repays ₹510 crore dues to Canara Bank after DRT order
The bank had initiated the DRT action after the company had blocked attempts for recovery through the bankruptcy code.
“This account had turned non-performing in 2020 and was admitted to the DRT in 2021. The bank had also filed a case in the insolvency code in the NCLT and had parallelly started SARFAESI action for recovery,” said a person aware of the details. “However, the company had got a stay on all recovery actions from the Karnataka High Court except the DRT case which was decided in the bank’s favour a few days ago after almost six years.”
