    Insolvency Lawyers in Gurgaon – Priority List of Creditors

    The company that is filing for liquidation fall under two categories: 1) solvent and 2) insolvent. An insolvent company is the one which is at a shortfall of cash. Even after the liquidation of company assets, it may not be possible to pay off its creditors. In such a case, there is a possibility of a conflict of interest amongst the creditors because of insufficient assets to pay all the creditors in full.

    Thus, the law tries to manage equality amongst the creditors by following a transparent process to liquidate the assets of the company to be distributed equally amongst the creditors as per the size of their individual claims.

    Winding Up Procedure Under IBC Code 2016

    The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 unifies the insolvency laws for the entities under a single legislation. It also governs organizations, partnership firms, and limited liability partnership firms. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 has entrusted the creditors with a time-bound resolution to their insolvency process. This Code empowers creditors by giving them the freedom to lend money to Indian entrepreneurs with ease.

    IBC Code 2016 has amended the various laws of Winding up of a company under the Companies Act, 2013. The definition of winding up as per IBC Code 2016, was formatted to be winding up or liquidation under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016. All the laws of Winding up of a company under the Companies Act, 2013 section 270 that deals with the various modes of winding up were discarded and substituted by Winding up by Tribunal.

    Circumstances Under Which a Company Could Be Wound up by the Tribunal Are as Follows-

    When the winding up of the company is taking place through a special resolution.
    In case it is revealed that the company has acted against the security, integrity, and sovereignty of India’s friendly relations with foreign states.
    If the Tribunal finds that the company has enacted in an unlawful manner or fraudulently.
    If the people associated with the company, especially those involved in management or decision making are found to be guilty of fraud or misconduct.
    In case, the company is found to be a defaulter in filing its financial statements for preceding financial years with Company Registrar.
    In a situation wherein the Tribunal thinks for any reason that a company should be wound up.
    The Insolvency Professionals, have replaced section 275 of Winding up of a company under the Companies Act, 2013 for the appointment of Company Liquidators who are appointed and governed by the committee under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016.
    A total omission in Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 of section 304 for Voluntary Winding Up of the companies which was previously under Winding up of a company under the Companies Act, 2013.

    The Pending Cases Were Passed on to NCLT as per the Resolution Passed on 7th Dec 2016, as per Below Criteria:

    It would be retained by the High Court if the Winding-up was happening under the supervision of the court.
    For all new cases from 1st April 2017, NCLT would be taking charge and all voluntary winding up cases filed up to 31st March 2017 would be retained by the High Court.
    When a company has to wind up due to its inability to pay, and the petition is served then the High Court will take care of it. In case of a petition, has not yet been served, in that case, it would fall under IBC 2016.
    When winding up is to be done by Court, and if the petition is served to the Respondent, then High Court will take care of it. However, if the petition has never been served to the Respondent, then it would be taken care of under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016.

    Voluntary winding up of the procedures of a private limited company has been made part of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 in Chapter 5 of Part II. As per Section 59 of IBC Code 2016, a voluntary winding up can be initiated by a person from corporate who has not committed any default.
