IRP, or Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process, is a procedure established under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. The IBC serves as India's bankruptcy legislation.
Financial creditors can initiate the insolvency resolution process when a corporate debtor defaults on repayment of creditors' dues. The creditor must file an application with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to start the resolution process.
Once the NCLT admits the application, the company's assets freeze for six months. During this period, the NCLT reviews revival options and decides the future course of action through debt resolution, corporate restructuring, or liquidation. This process happens in stages.
