Root Cause Analysis
The confusion surrounding IBC Sections 7, 9, and 10 often stems from a lack of clarity regarding their specific applicability. Section 7 deals with applications filed by financial creditors, those who have lent money to the company. Section 9, on the other hand, covers operational creditors, typically vendors or suppliers who are owed money for goods or services. Finally, Section 10 allows the corporate debtor itself to initiate the insolvency resolution process.
