A borrower can approach the DRT to challenge the process, or can repay the outstanding dues (or reach a settlement with the bank) before the sale is finalised to halt further action.

No — IBC applies to companies, limited liability partnerships, and, under separate provisions, individuals and partnership firms, though most publicised cases involve larger corporate defaults given the amounts involved.
