Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP)

When a company defaults on its financial commitments, the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) becomes the lifeline for restructuring and business revival.
CIRP, governed by the Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC), aims to rescue financially stressed companies through a time-bound and transparent mechanism.
It protects creditors, safeguards assets, and gives companies a structured opportunity to recover instead of directly heading toward liquidation.
From filing applications before NCLT to appointing an IRP/RP, inviting claims, and approving resolution plans — every step follows strict timelines.
At Aarthika, we guide businesses, creditors, and professionals through the entire CIRP journey with precision, compliance, and expert representation.
Let’s decode NCLT-CIRP in a clear, practical, business-friendly way.
