Filing a Petition under IBC – Initiating CIRP, 2nd Edn.
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code has changed the way NPAs are managed in India. IBC consolidates all the laws related to insolvency in India by creating a single law. It helps to ensure confidence of banks, foreign investors, and associated companies in crisis mitigation mechanisms.
As a law practitioner, insolvency practitioner or a creditor, it is essential to learn the procedure for filing an insolvency petition. This course takes the learner through the various aspects of filing petitions under the IBC whether as a financial creditor, operational creditor or as a corporate applicant.
