Corporate Law Glossary
NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal)
A quasi-judicial body established under the Companies Act 2013 that handles insolvency (IBC), company law disputes, oppression & mismanagement cases, and M&A approvals.
CIRP (Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process)
The formal insolvency process under IBC. When a company cannot pay debts, creditors or the company itself can initiate CIRP. A Resolution Professional manages the company during this period.
Section 138 NI Act (Cheque Bounce)
Dishonouring a business cheque under Section 138 NI Act is a serious corporate offence. The payee must send a legal notice; if unpaid within 15 days, a criminal complaint can be filed. Maximum punishment: 2 years & double the cheque amount.
Moratorium (IBC Sec 14)
Once CIRP is admitted, an automatic moratorium kicks in — no court proceedings, recovery, or asset sale against the company is allowed. This gives breathing space for resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Legal Queries

Common Questions
on Corporate Law

What happens if a company fails to pay its operational debt?
The creditor can send a Section 8 notice. If unpaid, a Section 9 petition can be filed in NCLT to initiate insolvency. This often leads to a fast-track settlement to avoid company takeover.
Can I challenge an NCLT order?
Yes, NCLT orders can be appealed before the NCLAT (National Company Law Appellate Tribunal) in New Delhi. Further appeals lie with the Supreme Court of India.
What is the remedy for breach of a business contract?
Depending on the contract value, we can file a suit in Commercial Courts or initiate Arbitration if a clause exists. Interim relief (Section 9 Arbitration Act) can also be sought to protect assets.
How to resolve director disputes and deadlock?
Deadlocks can be resolved through mediation or NCLT intervention under mismanagement provisions. We help restructure Board Resolutions and Articles of Association to prevent future deadlocks.
