Bankruptcy Consultants in India

India has been seeing a remarkable growth rate in the last few years and this is in itself a parameter to prove that all sectors are doing good business. Still not all firms, companies or entities, are doing as well as the economy. There are a few which are not able to meet their expenses, others who are unable to pay their debts, yet others who simply were never able to take off and looking for exit options.

As a result, there are many Indians seeking help for winding up, bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of companies. Specific rights are endowed on the creditors which they can opt to exercise against the insolvent company or even debtors who want to liquidate their solvent company.

While the Constitution of India grants the liberty to practice any profession or to carry on any occupation, trade or business to its citizens, yet at the same time, it places restrictions on closure of any commercial entity. The intent behind these regulations are primarily to protect the public interest, prevent unemployment and avert fraud or economic wrongdoing.

The insolvency laws have had a topsy-turvy ride in India, with multiple overlapping laws and adjudicating forums making it a tedious, time-taking process. But the enforcement of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, (IBC) has streamlined the process to give positive result in a time bound fashion.

Are you seeking bankruptcy consultants in India to overcome any adverse situation at the earliest? Confused over whom to approach? Don’t know how to authenticate such firms? Worried about time, money and the result?

A company is an entity born out of a legal process and understandably, its death or end also has to be through legal recourse.
