Claim Verification
According to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, only Financial Creditors, Operational Creditors, or the Corporate Debtor itself can initiate an Insolvency Petition for the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP).
However, after the commencement of the CIRP, other creditors are allowed to file Claims. The Code has two phases in which creditors are called upon to submit their claims: the first is during the CIRP by the Insolvency Resolution Professional or Resolution Professional, while the second is during the liquidation process by the Liquidator.
