Ganga Steels Ltd's base resolution plan impairs the claims of operational creditors. What must the resolution professional do under Section 54K?

The resolution professional must invite prospective resolution applicants to submit plans that compete with the base resolution plan. Section 54K(5)(b) triggers this when the base plan impairs operational creditors' claims. Termination is not the immediate step.

Explanation

Section 54K(5)(b) provides that where the base plan impairs operational creditors' claims, the resolution professional shall invite prospective resolution applicants to submit competing plans.
