Nageswara Rao, <strong>BR Gavai*<\/strong> and AS Bopanna, JJ has held that a liability in respect of a claim arising out of a Recovery Certificate would be a \u201cfinancial debt\u201d within the\u00a0\u00a0 meaning of clause (8) of Section 5 of the IBC. Consequently, the holder of the Recovery Certificate would be a financial creditor within the meaning of clause (7) of Section 5 of the IBC. As such, the holder of such certificate would be entitled to initiate CIRP, if initiated within a period of three years from the date of issuance of the Recovery Certificate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court explained that the words \u201cmeans a debt along with interest, if any, which is disbursed against the consideration for the time value of money\u201d are followed by the words \u201cand includes\u201d. By employing the words \u201cand includes\u201d, the Legislature has only given instances, which could be included in the term \u201cfinancial debt\u201d.\u00a0 However, the list is not exhaustive but inclusive.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe legislative intent could not have been to exclude a liability in respect of a \u201cclaim\u201d arising out of a Recovery Certificate from the definition of the term \u201cfinancial debt\u201d, when such a liability in respect of a \u201cclaim\u201d simpliciter would be included in the definition of the term \u201cfinancial debt\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Observing that the trigger point for initiation of CIRP is default of claim, the Court further explained that \u201cdefault\u201d is non-payment of debt by the debtor or the Corporate Debtor, which has become due and payable, as the case may be, a \u201cdebt\u201d is a liability or obligation in respect of a claim which is due from any person, and a \u201cclaim\u201d means a right to payment, whether such a right is reduced to judgment or not. It could thus be seen that unless there is a \u201cclaim\u201d, which may or may not be reduced to any judgment, there would be no \u201cdebt\u201d and consequently no \u201cdefault\u201d on non-payment of such a \u201cdebt\u201d.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhen the \u201cclaim\u201d itself means a right to payment, whether such a right is reduced to a judgment or not, we find that if the contention of the respondents, that merely on a \u201cclaim\u201d being fructified in a decree, the same would be outside the ambit of clause (8) of Section 5 of the IBC, is accepted, then it would be inconsistent with the plain language used in the IBC.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hence, taking into consideration the object and purpose of the IBC, the legislature could never have intended to keep a debt, which is crystallized in the form of a decree, outside the ambit of clause (8) of Section 5 of the IBC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">[Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. v.
