Understanding the Financial Creditor Dispute Resolution Process

Disputes with financial creditors can be managed through the following processes:

1. Voluntary Process (Initiated by individuals/companies)

• Companies engage with creditors to negotiate repayment terms.
• Settlement agreements are drafted to avoid litigation.
• Debt restructuring strategies are implemented for financial stability.

2. Compulsory Process (Court-mandated or legally enforced)

• Financial creditors file insolvency applications before NCLT under IBC.
• Courts intervene in case of unresolved disputes or violations of financial agreements.
• Adjudicating authorities enforce restructuring plans, settlements, or liquidation proceedings.

Legal Protection Under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016 provides specific legal protections for managing dissenting financial creditors, ensuring that financial disputes are handled efficiently and within a well-defined legal framework.

Section 7: When Can a Claim Be Filed?

A financial creditor can file an application for insolvency resolution under Section 7 of the IBC if:

• A corporate debtor defaults on loan repayments.
• There is a failure to comply with a financial agreement or loan restructuring plan.
• The creditor holds evidence of debt through loan agreements, financial statements, or written acknowledgments.
• A company is financially distressed and unable to meet its obligations.

Section 31: Powers of the Adjudicating Authority

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), as the adjudicating authority, has the power under Section 31 of the IBC to:

• Approve or reject resolution plans submitted by financial creditors.
• Enforce debt restructuring and settlement agreements.
