  1. Sir, after approval of R.P. by NCLT n how many days an employee gets his claim amount . And will he gets full verified claim amount ?? Kindly clarify.

    1. As Per IBC Code, once resolution plan approved by NCLT, it shall be binding on all the stakeholders of the company.

      As per section 30 (2) of the code, the resolution plan shall contain the provision for payment of unpaid dues of employees.The resolution shall also contain the amount of the claims admitted and the timeline for payment.The minimum amount of the claim should be as provided under section 53 (1) of the code.

      No timelines are prescribed under the code, it shall be as per the approved resolution plan or as directed by NCLT
