My Article published in Chartered Accountants Practice Journal - December 2017 issue. Section 35 of the SARFAESI Act clearly mandates that the provisions of the SARFAESI Act shall have effect, notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith contained in any other law for the time being in force or any instrument having effect by virtue of any such law. The secured creditor, as defined under the provisions of SARFAESI Act can exercise its statutory rights under Section 13 thereof notwithstanding the fact that the borrower has got a notification issued in its favour under the provisions of Maharashtra Relief Undertakings (Special Provisions) Act, 1958, (BRU Act), which suspends all its obligations and liabilities to secured creditor.
