The Role of Resolution Professionals in CIRP

Root Cause Analysis

The anxieties surrounding RPs in CIRP often stem from a lack of understanding and control. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) aims to provide a time-bound resolution for distressed companies, but the process itself can be opaque.

Delays in the IBC process, partly due to NCLT backlogs, exacerbate the pressure. The RP, appointed to manage the company during CIRP, holds significant power. This can lead to mistrust, especially when stakeholders feel their concerns aren’t being adequately addressed.

Concerns arise due to perceived bias in asset valuation, disputes over claim acceptance, and inadequate communication from the RP. The legal framework, while robust, can feel distant and impersonal, further fueling anxieties. Many directors feel a loss of control, grappling with unfamiliar legal jargon and complex procedures.

Common Mistakes Businesses Make

Navigating the CIRP process is fraught with potential pitfalls. One common mistake is failing to engage legal counsel early. Many companies wait until the situation is dire before seeking expert advice, limiting their options.

Another error is inadequate preparation of documents. Accurate and complete financial records are crucial for claim verification and asset valuation. Neglecting this can lead to disputes and delays.

Furthermore, a lack of proactive communication with the RP can hinder the process. Failing to understand the RP’s responsibilities and the legal framework within which they operate can lead to misinterpretations and mistrust. Finally, disputing claims without proper legal grounds can waste time and resources.

Real-World Case Study

Consider the case of Dharam Infotech Pvt Ltd, a promising tech startup facing financial distress. Kishan Kumar, Director of Dharam Infotech, was overwhelmed by the CIRP process. He felt lost, mistrustful of the RP appointed, and worried about the future of his company. The initial asset valuation seemed drastically low, and several creditor claims appeared inflated.

Kishan approached Prospect Legal for assistance. Our team immediately took charge.

Within months, Dharam Infotech emerged from CIRP with a restructured business plan and a renewed sense of optimism. Kishan Kumar, no longer feeling overwhelmed, expressed immense relief and gratitude for Prospect Legal’s guidance. His business was saved, and his reputation remained intact.
