The relaxation was announced as the principal bench of the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal stayed an order, dated Feb. 22, by the bankruptcy court to initiate insolvency proceedings against the company.

In a separate circular on Monday, the NSE mentioned that the Zee Entertainment stock would move out of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code framework and that the corresponding surveillance actions against the company would be reverted.
