(a) Subject to subsection (d), as soon as practicable after completion by the debtor of all payments under the plan, and in the case of a debtor who is required by a judicial or administrative order, or by statute, to pay a domestic support obligation, after such debtor certifies that all amounts payable under such order or such statute that are due on or before the date of the certification (including amounts due before the petition was filed, but only to the extent provided for by the plan) have been paid, unless the court approves a written waiver of discharge executed by the debtor after the order for relief under this chapter [11 USCS §§ 1301 et seq.], the court shall grant the debtor a discharge of all debts provided for by the plan or disallowed under section 502 of this title [11 USCS § 502], except any debt--

(2) the value, as of the effective date of the plan, of property actually distributed under the plan on account of each allowed unsecured claim is not less than the amount that would have been paid on such claim if the estate of the debtor had been liquidated under chapter 7 of this title [11 USCS §§ 701 et seq.] on such date; and
(3) modification of the plan under section 1329 of this title [11 USCS § 1329] is not practicable.
(c) A discharge granted under subsection (b) of this section discharges the debtor from all unsecured debts provided for by the plan or disallowed under section 502 of this title [11 USCS § 502], except any debt--
(1) provided for under section 1322(b)(5) of this title [11 USCS § 1322(b)(5)]; or
(2) of a kind specified in section 523(a) of this title [11 USCS § 523(a)].
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a discharge granted under this section does not discharge the debtor from any debt based on an allowed claim filed under section 1305(a)(2) of this title [11 USCS § 1305(a)(2)] if prior approval by the trustee of the debtor's incurring such debt was practicable and was not obtained.
(f) Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b), the court shall not grant a discharge of all debts provided for in the plan or disallowed under section 502 [11 USCS § 502], if the debtor has received a discharge--
(1) in a case filed under chapter 7, 11, or 12 of this title [11 USCS §§ 701 et seq., 1101 et seq., or 1201 et seq.] during the 4-year period preceding the date of the order for relief under this chapter [11 USCS §§ 1301 et seq.], or

(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply with respect to a debtor who is a person described in section 109(h)(4) [11 USCS § 109(h)(4)] or who resides in a district for which the United States trustee (or the bankruptcy administrator, if any) determines that the approved instructional courses are not adequate to service the additional individuals who would otherwise be required to complete such instructional course by reason of the requirements of paragraph (1).
(1) section 522(q)(1) [11 USCS § 522(q)(1)] may be applicable to the debtor; and
(2) there is pending any proceeding in which the debtor may be found guilty of a felony of the kind described in section 522(q)(1)(A) [11 USCS § 522(q)(1)(A)] or liable for a debt of the kind described in section 522(q)(1)(B) [11 USCS § 522(q)(1)(B)].
