Additionally, the Court also considers the following factors as necessary for determining the question as to whether the Tenants are entitled to any relief of suspension of rent:
i. Nature of the property:
ii. Financial and social status of the parties
iii. Amount of rent
iv. Other factors
v. Any contractual condition(s)
vi. Protection under any executive order(s)

Even in the worst case scenario, some postponement or relaxation in the schedule of payment can be granted owing to the lockdown by the Courts.

The present Article is a general guideline for taking the route of Insolvency against a Company or LLP if the Company or LLP defaults in the payments of any of its dues (Financial and or Contractual).

Hope it helps.
Stay home Stay safe.
Thank you.

P.S. Today, the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that no fresh insolvency will be initiated for one year under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.

At the moment MCA has extended this by 6 months, and intends to extend this by another 6 months. For MSMEs a special insolvency framework will be notified under section 240-A of IBC.
Also it appears that coronavirus-related debt will be excluded from definition of default.

An Article by me addressing the current scenario of the Payments to employees/workers during lockdown- Law, Orders and Judicial Trend

Do read and share to know the current scenario.

UPDATES-
On 15th May, 2020, the Honourable Supreme Court of India issued Interim Orders in two cases (Indian Jute Mills case and Hand tools Case) restraining coercive action against the Employer till next week, for non payment of wages as per the Order dated 29 March, 2020.

On 17th May, 2020 the Ministry of Home Affairs issued an Order whereby the Order directing the mandatory payment of Wages by Employers to Employees (Dated 29.03.2020) ceased to have effect.

Clause III of the March 29 order read, “all the employers, be it in the industry or in the shops and commercial establishments, shall make payment of wages of their workers, at their workplaces, on the due date, without any deduction, for the period their establishments are under closure during the lockdown.”

It also read, “wherever the workers, including the migrants are living in rented accommodation, the landlords of those properties shall not demand payment of rent for a period of one month. If any landlord is forcing labourers and students to vacate the premises, they will be liable for action under the Act.”

This Order now stands withdrawn.
