Introduction

Are you an NBFC navigating the complexities of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT)?

Dealing with financial disputes or the looming threat of insolvency can be overwhelming. Many NBFCs find themselves caught in lengthy legal battles, unsure of the best path forward. You’re not alone.

Prospect Legal understands the unique challenges NBFCs face in the NCLT and offers expert representation to protect your interests.

The NCLT Maze: Why NBFCs Struggle

NBFCs often find themselves in the NCLT due to loan defaults, contractual disputes, or insolvency proceedings. The problem stems from several factors.

Firstly, the regulatory framework governing NBFCs is intricate and ever-evolving. Secondly, the NCLT process itself is complex, requiring specialized legal knowledge and strategic maneuvering.

Many NBFCs lack the in-house expertise to navigate these challenges effectively, leading to unfavorable outcomes and significant financial losses.

In addition, the aggressive recovery tactics of some lenders, combined with economic downturns, can quickly push even well-managed NBFCs into distress.

Turning the Tide: A Real-World Example

Consider a small NBFC, “FinStart,” that faced an NCLT petition due to a major loan default from one of its borrowers.

FinStart was overwhelmed and lacked the in-house expertise to defend its position effectively.

Prospect Legal stepped in, meticulously analyzed FinStart’s financial position, and crafted a compelling defense strategy. We negotiated with the petitioning creditor, highlighting procedural flaws in their application and proposing a restructured repayment plan that protected FinStart’s assets and allowed them to continue operations.

Because of our work FinStart avoided liquidation and successfully resumed its growth trajectory.
