Future Consumer Limited (FCL) NCLT Hearing Update: Additional Affidavit Filed, Next Hearing on April 16, 2026
Future Consumer Limited (FCL) updated on its NCLT hearing with Resurgent India. FCL filed financial statements, arguing the default date is beyond the limitation period. The NCLT questioned FCL's NBFC registration status due to investments over ₹300 crore in assets. An additional affidavit is due in 10 days, with the next hearing on April 16, 2026.
The NCLT's inquiry into FCL's NBFC registration status and the requirement for an additional affidavit could potentially have implications for the company's operations and regulatory compliance. The ongoing litigation also adds a layer of risk.
The announcement provides an update on a legal case and regulatory query. While FCL is presenting its arguments, the NCLT has raised new questions requiring further affidavits, indicating an ongoing and uncertain legal process.
Future Consumer Limited (FCL) provided an update on the NCLT case filed by Resurgent India Special Situations Fund. The hearing, initially scheduled for March 9, 2026, was postponed to March 17, 2026. FCL's counsel presented the company's financial statements for the last three years, arguing that the first default occurred in May 2022, which is beyond the limitation period, and that Resurgent had waived the defaults subject to payment. The counsel further argued that if the waiver notice was breached, the waiver would be void, thus the default dates would revert to May 2022.
Resurgent's counsel contended that the last Notice of Acceleration dated April 24, 2024, should be considered the date of default for limitation purposes. They also highlighted the company's debt towards Resurgent as reflected in the balance sheet.
The NCLT noted that FCL's plants, equipment, and machinery were valued at over ₹300 crore and questioned whether the company should have been registered as an NBFC due to significant investments in its subsidiaries. FCL has been directed to file an Additional Affidavit within 10 days to clarify this and to provide information on whether RBI was intimated regarding NBFC registration. The next hearing is scheduled for April 16, 2026.
