By Ravi Sisodia · Reviewed by CA Divyanshu Sengar · Updated 5 October 2026
2-minute summary
- Start from facility-level debt, then layer guarantee scope and any contractual cap.
- Reconcile all post-default receipts and security realisations so the same recovery is not claimed twice.
- Distinguish borrower accounting entries from legally recoverable guarantee components.
- Document differences between the corporate ledger, creditor claim form and guarantor statement.
Current position
Control and evidence map
| # | Control / evidence requirement | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Create a debt bridge from original principal to current claim. | |
| 2 | Map each interest/charge component to facility and guarantee terms. | |
| 3 | Deduct recoveries by date and identify pending reversals/appropriations. | |
| 4 | Compare corporate-debtor records with creditor records and explain differences. | |
| 5 | Attach the bridge to the PG claim/form and retain version control. | |
Worked example
A lender’s corporate-debtor ledger shows Rs. 12 crore outstanding, but Rs. 1.2 crore was realised from charged assets after the ledger extract date and the guarantee caps certain charges. The PG claim should not repeat Rs. 12 crore. A reconciliation must show the later recovery, contractual scope and the amount actually asserted against the guarantor.
Common mistakes
- Copying the corporate loan statement into the PG claim without adjustment.
- Double counting recoveries obtained from another obligor.
- Adding charges not covered by the guarantee.
- Failing to explain timing differences between ledgers.
Frequently asked questions
Must the PG claim equal the corporate-debtor ledger?
Not necessarily; it should reconcile to it and reflect guarantee terms and recoveries.
Can one recovery reduce multiple claims?
The same economic recovery must not be double counted.
What is a debt bridge?
A schedule from sanctioned/principal debt through interest, recoveries and adjustments to the current claim.
Who should approve differences?
Legal and finance/credit teams should jointly sign off material reconciliation differences.
