A company can enter insolvent liquidation in two ways, through either: the compulsory liquidation procedure, where the court orders the insolvent company's liquidation, or. the creditors voluntary liquidation procedure, where 75% of shareholders must vote to liquidate the insolvent company.
This process is called compulsory liquidation, and generally begins with the issue of a statutory demand against the debtor company, closely followed by a winding-up petition. Company directors may also decide that voluntary liquidation is the best option if they fear such legal action by creditors is imminent.
Unlike CIRP, PIRP may be initiated only by debtors. The debtor should have a base resolution plan in place. During PIRP, the management of the company will remain with the debtor. Minimum default amount: Application for initiating PIRP may be filed in the event of a default of at least one lakh rupees.
