 &lt;BR&gt; 
Both RCOM as well as RTL are undergoing corporate insolvency resolution process (“CIRP”) under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (“Code”). The resolution plans in respect of RCOM and RTL, have been approved by the committees of creditors of RCOM and RTL respectively, in accordance with the Code and are presently awaiting approval of the Hon’ble National Company Law Tribunal, Mumbai Bench (“NCLT”).  &lt;BR&gt; 
 &lt;BR&gt; 
The loan account referred in the Letter pertain to the period prior to the CIRP of RTL, and is required in terms of the Code, to be necessarily resolved as a part of a resolution plan or in liquidation, as the case may be.  &lt;BR&gt; 
 &lt;BR&gt; 
Further, with respect to certain transactions as identified in the Letter, the resolution professional of RTL has already filed avoidance applications in terms of the provisions of the Code with the NCLT, which are presently sub-judice, and the treatment thereof shall be in accordance with the decision of the NCLT read together with the applicable provisions of the resolution plan of RTL. &lt;BR&gt; 
 &lt;BR&gt; 
With respect to the impact on the listed entity (being RCOM), please further note that during the CIRP, both RCOM and RTL are inter alia protected from, the institution/ continuation of any suits/ proceedings against RCOM and RTL, including the execution of any judgement, decree or order in any court of law, tribunal, arbitration panel or other authority in light of Section 14(1)(a) of the Code.  &lt;BR&gt; 
 &lt;BR&gt; 
Section 32A of the Code in any case grants protection to a corporate debtor against any liability for an offence committed by the corporate debtor prior to the commencement of its CIRP, as well as from prosecution of any offence in relation thereto, from the date the resolution plan in respect of such corporate debtor has been approved by the NCLT under Section 31 of the Code (if the resolution plan results in the change in the management or control of the corporate debtor in the manner prescribed under Section 32A of the Code).  &lt;BR&gt; 
 &lt;BR&gt; 
To that extent, it may be noted that by virtue of the protection made available under Section 32A of the Code, upon the approval of the resolution plan in respect of RCOM as well RTL by the NCLT, both RCOM and RTL shall be deemed to have immunity against any liability for any purported offences committed by RCOM / RTL prior to the commencement of the CIRP (including any liability which may arise as a result of any unlawful transactions identified in the forensic audit report). &lt;BR&gt; 
  &lt;BR&gt; 
Further, under Section 238 of the Code, the provisions of the Code override anything inconsistent contained in any other law. &lt;BR&gt; 
Furthermore, legal advice is being sought on the way forward with respect to this development. &lt;BR&gt;
