Resolution Professional (RP)
Under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 (IBC), the Resolution Professional (RP) plays a central role in managing the Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) after the initial stage handled by the Interim Resolution Professional (IRP). The Resolution Professional is responsible for conducting the insolvency resolution process in a structured and transparent manner with the objective of finding a viable resolution plan for the corporate debtor.
The Resolution Professional is appointed by the Committee of Creditors (CoC) and approved by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT). In many cases, the Interim Resolution Professional may continue as the Resolution Professional if approved by the Committee of Creditors.
Once appointed, the RP takes full responsibility for managing the affairs of the company during the insolvency resolution process. The RP facilitates communication between the corporate debtor and creditors, manages the evaluation of resolution plans, and ensures that the entire process is conducted in accordance with the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code and applicable regulations.
The primary objective of the Resolution Professional is to maximise the value of the company’s assets and assist creditors in identifying and approving a suitable resolution plan that allows the business to continue operations while addressing its financial obligations.
