Earlier this month, DHFL said that its draft resolution plan, which was submitted to the lenders, spares creditors from having to take haircuts on principal payments. As part of the resolution plan, which was cleared by the special committee of the DHFL board on 6 August 2019, DHFL will put a moratorium of repayments and will also seek funding from banks and the National Housing Board for re-starting retail lending. DHFL, in a regulatory filing, said that the plan will also take steps to address the asset-liability mismatch.
