Understanding the Corporate Fraud Investigation Process

Filing a corporate fraud case in NCLT involves structured legal steps, categorized as:

1. Voluntary Process

• Initiated by an individual, shareholder, or company affected by fraud
• Filing a petition before NCLT with supporting evidence
• Seeking legal remedy through investigations, penalties, or compensation

2. Compulsory Process

• Court-mandated action due to regulatory findings or third-party complaints
• Investigation initiated by SEBI, MCA, or RBI leading to an NCLT hearing
• Possible penalties, removal of directors, and business restructuring

Our expert legal team at Prospect Legal ensures smooth navigation through both voluntary and compulsory processes, maximizing the chances of a favorable outcome.
