The Reserve Bank of India (RBI)-appointed administrator of the crippled Dewan Housing Finance Ltd (DHFL) called for a meeting of its creditors for the first time on Monday after the mortgage lender was admitted for insolvency proceedings. 

The third-largest pure play mortgage player is the first non-banking financial company or housing finance company to face the corporate insolvency resolution process. 

The Mumbai bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) had admitted the company for insolvency resolution on December 2 and appointed Indian Overseas Bank former managing director and CEO R Subramaniakumar as the company's administrator. 

"Since the resolution professional (administrator) has now been appointed, he is meeting all the creditors and will discuss the way forward for resolution of the company," a source told PTI. 

DHFL did not respond to an e-mail query.
