The Term “Financial Creditor” includes Banks, Financial Institutions, Homebuyers, Enterprise, Corporate Entity or Company (Section 7 of the IBC).

    The Adjudicating Authority shall within 14 days of the receipt of the application under sub-section (2), ascertain the existence of the default from the records of the information utility or on the basis of the evidence furnished by the financial creditor under sub-section (3).

     

    Also, where the Adjudicating authority is satisfied that:

    • A default has occurred and the application under sub-section (2) is complete, and there are no disciplinary proceedings pending against the proposed resolution professional, it may, by order, admit such application; or
    • Default has not occurred or the application under sub-section (2) is incomplete or any disciplinary proceeding is pending against the proposed resolution professional, it may by order, reject such application.

     

    2.  In case of initiation of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process by the Operational Creditor, the Operational Creditor should owe the financial debt and the debt should be legally assigned to him and transferred. The term “Operational Creditor” includes Manufacturers, Traders, Employees (Section 9 of the IBC).

     

    After the expiry of the period of 10 days from the date of delivery of the notice or the invoice demanding payment under (1) of section 8, if the operational creditor does not receive payment from the corporate debtor or the dispute under sub-section (2) of section 8, the operational creditor may file an application before the adjudicating authority for initiating the CIRP process.

     

    The Adjudicating authority shall within 14 days of the receipt of the application under sub-section (2), by an order:

    • On a Written Contract,
    • On an Enactment, where the sum sought to be recovered is a fixed sum of money or in the nature of the debt other than a penalty; or
    • On a guarantee, where the claim against the principal is in respect of a debt or liquidated demand only.

     

    4.  Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (Cheque Bounce Recovery Case): If the customer delays the payment through cheque then the seller can file a suit against the customer under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.

     

    Under Section 138, a legal notice is sent to the customer regarding the bouncing of the cheque and if he does not pay within 30 days, then the seller can file a suit against the customer under Section 138 of the NI Act regarding non-payment of the payment.

     

    Looking at the steps from the initiation of the process till the satisfactory solution, there is a great deal of legal work to be done. It is an arduous task to accomplish and there are many legalities that have to be followed and if any discrepancy remains, your application shall be rejected.

     

    Take an informed decision today, so that you don’t have to regret tomorrow. An incompetent and inexperienced firm which does not engage top-notch bankruptcy lawyers in India, will not be able to relieve you of your problems.
