Authority: National Company Law Appellate Tribunal, Chennai Bench
Order Date: 19 August 2026
Case Overview
The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) at Chennai heard two connected appeals (Company Appeal (AT) (CH) (Ins) No. 574/2025 and 575/2025) filed by State Bank of India as the Appellant against Regional PF Commissioner-II & Recovery Officer and Another as Respondents. The matters pertain to recovery claims made by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) against State Bank of India. The Tribunal noted that the case involves EPFO's claims and requires proper categorization for efficient hearing management.
Final Outcome
The NCLAT deferred the hearing and directed the learned counsel appearing for the EPFO to categorize their case to enable the tribunal to group similar matters for convenient hearing. The Registry was instructed to publish both cases in the supplementary list for the next hearing date on 28 August 2026. The bench comprising Justice N. Seshasayee (Member-Judicial) and Jatindranath Swain (Member-Technical) issued the order in hybrid mode.
