On May 4, the National Company Law Tribunal’s Mumbai bench had admitted Future Lifestyle for the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) on a petition filed by Bank of India following payment defaults. The tribunal had appointed Ravi Sethia as the resolution professional.
Future Lifestyle became the third company of the Kishore Biyani-led Future Group — after Future Retail and Future Enterprises — to be admitted for bankruptcy.
It was one of the Future Group companies that was to be transferred to Reliance Industries under the Rs 24,713 crore deal signed in 2020. However, the deal became entangled in legal tussles after US e-commerce major Amazon opposed it, citing a 2019 agreement with Future Group.

Amazon, which had acquired a 49% stake in Future Coupons, the promoter entity of Future Retail, for about Rs 1,500 crore, alleged violation of certain terms in the 2019 deal. Later, RIL cancelled the deal after Future Group failed to secure shareholders’ and lenders’ approval.
